It's been a while since I've featured Japanese American singer Utada Hikaru (or Hikaru Utada in the Western way) on the blog. Utada is her surname/family name but also her mononym/stage name).
She took a hiatus in 2011 but returned to music in late 2012 with the single Sakura Nagashi (Flowing Cherry Blossoms). In December 2013 she celebrated the 15th anniversary of her debut under her real name in Japan (she originally released music under the stage name Cubic U).
In 2016 Utada (also known as Hikki) released her 6th Japanese language studio album, Fantôme and last June she brought out Hatsukkoi (First Love), her 7th Japanese album. Her last English one was 2009's This Is The One (a good album!).
This is Too Proud which appears on Hatsukkoi featuring British rapper/producer Jevon. This is a remix which features Japanese singer Yo-Sea. It's an audio and was uploaded to YouTube in February. It's in Japanese and English and the lyrics are at the bottom of the video. (Not that I can read Japanese but I can understand the English ones!). :)
Listen to the original Too Proud here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaK02z4Dob8
Utatda's latest single is Face My Fears with American DJ and record producer Skrillex, the opening theme for the video game Kingdom Hearts III. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvnwnf9UftA
