Utada Hikaru


FREEBIE! And it’s a great one!

Utada’s mv for her single, “Come Back to Me” is the free video of the week on itunes! Now you have absolutely no excuse not to go download it. I haven’t listened to her new album yet, but after watching this, it is totally on the top of the list.

This song is very R&B which I’m totally digging at the moment (such a change of heart), but she still retains a bit of her breathy, high pitched Jpop sound. IDK, I love it!

The lyrics are a little lol worthy, but she looks gorgeous in the video, and her man candy is no slouch either ♥

Before I got into Asian music, I never really paid attention to music videos. Maybe it was because the bands I liked pretty much just stood around somewhere with emo expressions and played instruments emo-ly. While the music was great, the the mvs didn’t really add anything to the song. However, in Asian pop, I find that well made mv’s really enhance my liking of a song because when done right, it can add another dimension to the music and allows the artist to express themselves through a visual media. Or, it just gives them an excuse to do more pelvic thrusts–whatever^^. Anyways, I just wanted to pimp some of my favorite artists, especially those who I normally don’t write much about.
