When Utada's singles ascended to #1 and #2 on iTunes, they pushed Perfume's "Flash" down to #3 :toofunny: 

My iconic faves slaying the Japanese masses :giveup:

i personally like hanataba wo kimi ni better than the other one. but that might change as i listen to it more

I definitely agree. It's a really pretty song and I like that it has a beat. The other one is like reeeeeeally boring to me :laughga: But I've only listened to it all the way through once, I'll definitely give it more listens

I wish I knew when it would be on iTunes US. Like I'm trying to decide if I should download it illegally now, or just wait. I'm definitely purchasing it either way, but I want to know how long a wait it'll be haha

lol yeah I definitely feel you on that. Did you use the links I posted? Cuz I haven't tried them yet

I feel like Hanataba wo Kimi ni reminds me of a cross between Boku Wa Kuma and NijiIro Bus. It's hard to articulate why haha. It's just kinda cute and mid-tempo like those songs

Kiiiind of. I took a few years of Japanese in college, but I don't really practice it anymore. So when I'm listening to songs I can recognize several words and know what they mean, but I usually can't string entire lines together.

Though a lot of Utada's songs just happen to have a lot of words I've learned, like "Flavor of Life" and "Letters." Her songs have been really good to listen to to test how much I've learned.

i think my favorite song (once i looked up the translation) is take 5. the lyrics are very spot on in terms of how i view happiness haha. it's on the same level as hikari (because of the lyrics too). in hikari i like it because it's so simple yet so truthful, let's eat something good, let's talk, she says, which is what i think are the best parts of life. 

i also like keep tryin. idk wtf she's saying but when i'm discouraged or something it picks me up. IDGAF I'LL KEEP TRYING EVERYONE KEEP ****ING TRYING LOL.

what about you?

edit:

oh and for hikari i prefer the utada united version over everything else.

It's so hard for me tbh :toofunny: Depending on my mood my favorite songs change. "Hikari" will always be a favorite because it's the song that introduced me to her. But I also love Letters, Tokyo Nights, Making Love, Keep Tryin', Be My Last, Flavor of Life, and Beautiful World.

See I can never pick 3-4 songs like a normal person LOL
