Queen of J-Pop Utada Hikaru has just released their very first best album, SCIENCE FICTION. This album celebrates Hikki’s 25th anniversary of their J-Pop scene on 9th December last year, which was the date their debut single Automatic / time will tell released. One of the campaigns to celebrate this occasion is that Hikki’s old MVs have been upgraded to 4K. There are 22 MVs in total, dating from Automatic back in 1998 to Sakura Nagashi, which was released in 2012.
Happy 25th Anniversary to our J-Pop Queen! After all these years their music still resonates with my heart. What was your memories with Hikki’s music? Favourite songs/albums? For me - my first song was First Love, back in 2005, when music rotations were still a thing. But my fave album has to be DEEP RIVER. The intro to SAKURA Drops still gives me chills everytime I listen to it.
