OMG. So talented. She sings in English so well...

Everyone else (who is abroad) that I hear singing in English usually warbles up the lyrics.

well i think she grew up in the US. She was shuffled between Japan and the US growing up so she's fluent in both languages.

Yeh, she's great. She's the first asian artist I ever liked.
Saint Legends
Well, she was born and raised half her life in New York.

Her voice isn't to bad, heard better but not bad none the less

She has good ranges. She's an American citizen, hence the good English...lol

You know girls with deep voices have high pitched voices when singing. Take Mariah Carey for example.
StrayDogStrut
She's probably the first Japanese artist that I've ever listened to, and probably the first Japanese artist I have ever had a crush on. embarassedlaugh.gif

You should hear Yuna Ito's voice. Her voice is amazing. She also grew up in hawaii so english is more comfortable. She's also half japanese (father) and half korean (mothers side).

She looks quite distinct, neither korean look or japanese look.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Suren911
I can sing First Love and it's a must when I'm with my Japanese girl friend and we're at a karaoke place. She's rather overrated but her older songs are quite good.
OpenCloud
I like her too ! And yea she sings so good in English ! In those little english lyrics. I have her album Ultra Blue on mp3.
Adee
Why is this not in Japanese chat?
StrayDogStrut
Because cloudyski has selective vision.
Jasel
Eh I really don't like her voice. Too throaty sounding.
cloudyski
^ her voice is pretty high and throaty...

StrayDogStrut
I like her high and throat voice. She has funny looking feet, though.
Miss Yuna (asian pride)
Yes Utada Hikaru is one of my favourite J-pop artists. She sings so beautifully her voice is so gorgeous biggrin.gif Not to mention she's really pretty biggrin.gif She was raised in the US also so thats why she's really good at English

1:Blue &
