Big in Japan

Utada Hikaru - worth checking out

Managed to get hold of a couple of older Utada Hikaru CDs over the weekend: Automatic and Deep River. Have to say I’m highly impressed, especially with the latter. If you like Japanese music at all then this CD is well worth your time and money. She is definitely a refreshing change to the dire J-pop that dominate the Oricon charts. The Deep River music videos are very similar to Bjork videos in their style, if you like that kind of thing. Not so keen on her English stuff although her English is fluent.

You can check out some of her stuff by following the links here, including 2 of my favourite Hikaru songs and an excellent cover of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams:
