Time for the next showcase! This week is...
Utada Hikaru!
Known to gamers everywhere for her songs "Hikari" and "Passion" as the intros for Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Hikaru/Hikki/Cubic U has been writing songs since the age of 12. Born to Japanese parents right in the great NYC, she had a lot of musical influence - her father was a record producer, her mother was a singer, and her grandmother played the shamisen. A big hit in both America and Japan, here's two of her videos for you: Exodus 04 (English) and Sakura Drops (Japanese).
Exodus 04 performed live
Sakura Drops
Do check out the official music video for Passion if you have the time. Her videos tend to be very expressive, and that one and Sakura Drops have been the most impressive to me.
You wanna know more? Of course you do! Super awesome special Wiki now:
(this article does need some cleanup, so I'm expecting if you do go there, to do a bit more reading elsewhere as well)
~Post Note~
I'm sure by now you've all noticed that, without fail, I title every one of my non-Showcase posts. And they all seem somewhat odd. Well, I've decided to open up a little game. Every title of mine has been taken from somewhere, and has relation to the theme of this blog. If you can find out where the titles are from, you will unlock a surprise that I'll post up. The person who gets the most actually will get a prize from me (this, of course, is more for our society of 15 that I can easily find...). At the end I will reveal every title's origins and of course the winner(s).
