The International Site for Hikki's Admirers

The music which I like most is the music of Hikaru Utada as Hikki (her nickname). I think that she is probably the most popular singer and able songwriter who is shining in Japan now. Besides, her musical sense and powerful singing are outstanding. Her husky voice, unusual for her age, is very charming. She was born in Jan 19th, 1983. To my surprise, it has recorded the top in various hit charts of the records, establishes the new sales record (Distributed over 8,300,000 copies already) in Japan and she became a top artiste at a bound in Japan when she is still only 16 years old in 1999. She is also so cheerful and very talented woman. At her American school, she jumped up onto one class because of exceling in her results. Then, she passed the Columbia University being the noble family admirably in spring in 2000, and she became a university student. Her mother, Keiko Fuji, is a famous singer in Japan and her father Teruzane Utada, is a music producer. She was born in New York and on the recommendation of her father, she started composing music and writing lyrics in English activity based on R&B (rhythm & blues) at the age of 10-year-old. She made her debut in Europe and America in '95 / '97 by the 12 inches record of indies label with the member name of Cubic U. She was also acclaimed by Lenny Kravitz as being "A young and charming Japanese singer !". She then made her debut under the name of Hikaru Utada at Japan in 1999. Right after her debut single,"Automatic/Time will tell", was released, it became a million seller. This caused her to attract considerable attention in Japan. The first album, "First Love", was released on March 10th. By the end of the month, 3,500,000 copies were sold, immediately from the storefront while twinkling. It was difficult to get one and this situation was continuing. Total sales of her CDs broke through the 5,500,000 copies on April 9th. As for "First Love", by April 23, 6,000,000 copies were distributed and by the end of April, a total of 5,239,000 copies were sold out, which is a new record in Japan. And now it has been sold over 7,373,000 copies and 8,300,000 copies were distributed already. Indeed, she is an extremely talented singer and songwriter, and she also is the pride of Japan.
You can try listening to "Automatic/Time will tell, etc.," which she composed with the sounds of "Real Player" below. Also, BGM of this page is her music "Automatic".
