@hikutada: if you listen to their discography, you will notice the similarities in some of her songs ,and there’s probably more!! #utadahikaru #simpleandclean #jpop #kingdomehearts #sample

clevergrn :

this is called interpolation, not sampling :)

AKI :

those who only listen to utada only for her work in kingdom hearts is truly missing out on one of the greatest discographies from any artist of all time

Aja :

I thought simple and clean IS Hikari.

nathaniel :

im so parasocial about her

lullabee★ :

Isn't Hikari just the Japanese version of Simple and Clean? With slight musical changes

jona ˚✧₊ :

i love love love artists who know how to interpolate tastefully

prestonraven🪶🦅 :

Distance was rerecorded as a tribute to a fan, Rena Yamashita, who perished in the Ikeda school m as sacre

joey🫧 :

The story of Final Distance is so sad

orajaro :

her MTV Unplugged was one of my most played Limewire downloaded videos

aini 🍎 :

Thank you for making this video it’s really informative

alice :

every time people ignore their whole discography and focus only on their kh songs an angel loses its wings

𝓡 :

Usomitai na I love you is genuinely one of the best pieces of music ever made ever

Loonatic's dreams :

why does exodus's album cover always get deepfried as hell

JosephJoestar :

Distance M Flo Remix goes H A R D

Edward Avila :

I cant even begin to describe the chokehold Kiss & Cry had on me when it first dropped

TokuWolf :

Probably my favorite detail is in Hikari (Ray of Hope mix). There's a sample that sounds a tad like jumbled speech, but it's actually from her song TRAVELING

limerei001 :

This is actually so smart what

2jzryan :

GOAT

WriterPlaysMTG :

thediamondfae :

Oh wow I love Utada ☺ I never knew they pulled from their own works so much! Genius 😁

Azzy 🎼 :

hikaru utada is super goated

MilkTeaRex :

Another from their older works. Simple and Clean (Ray of Hope Mix) samples the outro of Traveling. You can hear it at the top of the track, but it’s scattered throughout the song.

neo🌺 :

Utada is a genius

A :

I knew I heard some similarities in her other albums
