eric shun She’s one of the few contemporary female artists that instead of undergoing surgery to look younger, after hitting “The Wall” once she got to her early-mid 30s, decided to simply age like a “fine wine”. 10 years ago she was very cute, now she’s got an endearing beauty to her.
I almost did. the only reason I didn't is because the lyrical beauty would've been lost on both my husband and the guests. I really wanted to use it though!
She sings beautifully (obviously), but her writing stands out more for me in this song, the lyrics are truly beyond description...she makes love sound so easy, when in fact most people can't communicate at a personal level (we mistake words to mean more than they do, when in fact the action is a lot harder to do)
When comparing the English to the Japanese, I find the Japanese to be more triumphant than the English, as if two love birds finally professed their love and made the next step. The English, on the other hand, has a more bittersweet fell. Both have their merits.
Hikaru Utada is Japan's once and future Queen. The ultimate diva of the stage. She is one of the very few singers and musicians with real talent in this word -- to actually get a shot. The most talented singers range wise are usually opera and classic singers. They have fallen out of the mainstream lately, but HIkaru is one of the few that can sing that style and also do pop. Her range in scale is matched by her range in genres. I've seen her properly execute Rock and roll singing, Pop, R&B, Classical, and Opera with Harps and violins. She is fascinating. I've never seen another Artist do so many different styles of music well. The fact she is focusing more on classical singing now makes her the #1 candidate for opening the Tokyo olympics for sure.
I dont know why, but literally everything about her screams beauty and grace in this performance and all her songs. It's beyond a superficial and objective beauty, more than just a surface level, but you can really feel that her soul is also ethereally beautiful. It's like a moment that goes on for a lifetime, the swaying of a vibrant cherry blossom tree as springtime enters its zenith, or the sun rising over the horizon after a particularly stormy night. Its a terrifying beauty, because you never want it to end...
i really like how they made this the song playing at the end of the ending Scene of kh3...the japanese lyrics make much more sense in consideration of what happens in the last few seconds of the ending….this is a masterpiece
@@rayhannaufal503 where tf did kairi come from anyways ... she was "killed" and sora went to look for her ... and now shes just suddenly back and sora is gone instead ... wtf?
@@2Gambi2 um well he probably used the power of waking to go chase Kairis Heart but now he must pay the prize which already Young xehanort told him about...which is to be held in a deep abyss...probably something near death...which is why we can assume that maybe now that sora was seen in the world ends with yous shibuya that he has to play the reapers game to get his life back maybe?

I would give all of myself to this woman. One of my idols for years now. That voice is angelic. (No simp) Just actually appreciation. I've always loved utada. Ever since kingdom hearts
I want to walk down the aisle to this song ❤️ I thought I found the person who I'd walk down the aisle for, but it didn't work out. I'll find them one day ❤️
Pretty sure I’m the ONLY one here that played ALL KH games mostly to obtain the Ultima Weapon Keyblade on Critical Mode & defeat the secret bosses with said Keyblade & difficulty! oh & Utada is LEGEND.
Did anyone notice that in "Kiss me once" part the lyrics in the backgroud are in english? At first I tought it was in japanese, but then I notice that it was "If you wanna take to an even higher level" part of Don't Think Twice. :)
When I first heard this on UA-cam, I got shivers. Especially when Utada Hikaru is at the part "Kiss me once, kiss me twice" part. Kiss me once, Kiss me Twice Ichido ja tarinai Kiss me once, Kiss me Twice Anata wo kudasai Kiss me Once, Kiss me Twice Kiss me three times, Onegai Kiss me Once, Kiss me Twice Anata wo kudasai "Beautiful" is not enough to call this performance, nor the song. What I do know is that I MUST play Kingdom Hearts 3 (and 2.8) before using this song in my own wedding!
I heard the english version and its ok but this version is just amazing. The lyrics are just beautiful I hope I get to see her live someday and she's gorgeous.
I can honestly say she is not sexy or hot.... she is just damn BBEAUtiful.... her vocals and her looks. Love her. I think, no, I know if you were to put her up against any other female vocalists, she would out sing them like they were nothing... her vocals would overpower the other's vocals.
she is very pretty but she isn't all that great as a vocalist, she relies on her head voice too much, and her head voice is unfortunately quite strained.
Ok, Wow!!!! Is she not best female vocalist or not? Her vocals are just so good and so damn enchanting.... I wonder how she got those vocals? Just so BEAUtiful.
Since I know the meaning of the lyrics I drop a tear every time that I hear it. -Let's not make promise, that's for the others people, let's make an Oath!
My girl Utada divorced twice and still thought to make a badass song about love. I LOVE HER. LIKE SHE DIDNT HAVE TO GO HARD BUT HERE SHE IS
Warning:
Using this song for your wedding could result in you vanishing on the spot just as you're about to say 'I do'.
I hate how I know what you're alluding to. I hate you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I understood that reference
@@HeyShotgun isnt that a reference to a dorama? I dont remember the name though :v
@@callmemako3510 I pretty sure they are refrencing kingdom hearts 3
Instantly Sora’d
"This is not a promise but an oath." Ok that's too romantic.
my favorite line.
Chikai and Passion's lyrics are much deeper in the Japanese versions than the English ones.
She deserves to perform at the Tokyo Olympics !!!!!! This is so beautiful.
KawaiiJuku yeahhh good Idea!
Oh definitely!!
Well, she's really good, but she's not the best of all Japanese singers (both female and male)
Kit 😵
@@KitArch Nobody said that she's the best but she's good enough to be among the performers to show the world her unique singing.
She only got more beautiful with age

She looks like she’s still in her mid 20s
japanese women dont age jaja
she is a MILF
*_Even she has a kid, she's still glowing_*
The Japanese lyrics are so much more endearing
a lot more meaningfull for the ending and the feelings they feel
Utada is awesome cause she can make both of good lyrics.
I like the English one, but I agree the Japanese lyrics just hit home more. I would love to see someone cover it translating the lyrics
Wonder how many people are going to use this as their wedding song.
I almost did. the only reason I didn't is because the lyrical beauty would've been lost on both my husband and the guests. I really wanted to use it though!
I'll use a kh music on my sweet moments for sure...!
I will definitely be doing that
I might use Dearly Beloved instead.
@@reidpattis9478 that one is beautiful as well

The fact that she make makes multiple versions of her songs lyrics included shows her dedication as an artist. She is definitely one of the best.
When comparing the English to the Japanese, I find the Japanese to be more triumphant than the English, as if two love birds finally professed their love and made the next step. The English, on the other hand, has a more bittersweet fell. Both have their merits.
Legend has it they are two different songs, sang from a different person’s perspective.

Really, how beautiful Utada Hikaru can be?? Actually what is she ??? A Goddess or something???
A goddess indeed.
You don't know a singer's talent til you hear them live... That was amazing and it brought tears to my eyes
This is truly an oath

It sounds exactly like the studio recording. That’s talent

- Does she have the best voice?
- No, she doesn't
- Why do you love her?
- Because I'm in tears !!!
Starts crying again cause of the KH3 ending tied in with the lyrics
Oh my god....Utada is just drop dead gorgeous. My jaw was wide open during this entire performance. I can’t believe how beautiful she is. It’s unreal.
She really is a 10/10. Like someone else said she's not even hot she's just beautiful in a very elegant way.
Such a beautiful song *cries*
In both English and Japanese this song is remarkable beyond words
I can feel her soul just by watching this video, imagine how much more to those people that watched her live.
Why am I crying from this? This song must be one of the best Japanese songs I've heard
Ditto!
its feels like Riku perspective ;)
Only her and Lana can give me goosebumps like this
Why am I tearing up? Maybe it's because this is too beautiful
The only artist that makes me cry when watching her live stuff, I've watched her 2006 dvd so many times I can't even count them.
It is incredible how long she has been around and not a single live performance has sounded off or different she nails it every single time.
this is so beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing and subbing with this quality, i was hoping to see the full version :)
there is something so magical about her voice
She is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
So amazing
That is still one of the most beautiful songs ever made! Those lyrics made me cry. Her vocal talent and lyrics are a gift to this world
Tears...
Tears everywhere...
Those lyrics are so Beautiful.
I am barely holding my tears...the song is so beautiful....
gosh omg the goosebumps hit me so hard when she started singing. she is so beautiful
I always cry a bit listening and watching her sing this song. She’s a queen 💜
thank you for sharing 💖
No prob!
This is so beautiful, full of emotions, an amazing song, it is remarkable. Im crying like a child. Utada, you are amazing ♡
HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL💗
Such a beautiful song
She’s amazing
Beautyful lyrics
Omg is it me or she teared up. The japanese version is so much more. Awesome.
Utada Hikaru is still beautiful as ever since seeing her from my childhood to now 20 years later

After playing the game.....this just hurts so much more now.... *weeps*
The lyrics are so damn meaningful, it's like a love lament
Holy damn.... watching her perform in this video felt like a different experience.My soul
She is so genius…
Her voice is as beautiful as when she first started back when. Utada Hikaru foever!
Perfect song for the ending KH3 and wedding . . . . . really love it
TALENT
Still as beautiful as when I first heard her over a decade ago.
I would give all of myself to this woman. One of my idols for years now. That voice is angelic. (No simp) Just actually appreciation. I've always loved utada. Ever since kingdom hearts
shes an absolute goddess
I hope that she keeps continuing evolution.
She is so beautiful
Timeless Japanese Beauty.
THIS WOMANS VOICE!!!
I want to walk down the aisle to this song ❤️
I thought I found the person who I'd walk down the aisle for, but it didn't work out. I'll find them one day ❤️
Holy crap, is she rocking that undershaved bob look. Sploosh!
Pretty sure I’m the ONLY one here that played ALL KH games mostly to obtain the Ultima Weapon Keyblade on Critical Mode & defeat the secret bosses with said Keyblade & difficulty! oh & Utada is LEGEND.
Omg I have to work in a few minutes and clicked on this not expecting to cryyyyy aahhh my mascara xD
Did anyone notice that in "Kiss me once" part the lyrics in the backgroud are in english? At first
I tought it was in japanese, but then I notice that it was "If you wanna take to an even higher level" part of Don't Think Twice. :)
The japanese version lyrics are more love instead of extreme sadness....
Oh wow

I heard the english version and its ok but this version is just amazing. The lyrics are just beautiful I hope I get to see her live someday and she's gorgeous.
Something is wrong here. What laughter? Pretty sure it should be called the Sobbing in the Dark Tour.
Because the topic is to find hope in despair
I noticed their eyes…this must be a very personal song to them 💙💔
I can honestly say she is not sexy or hot.... she is just damn BBEAUtiful.... her vocals and her looks. Love her. I think, no, I know if you were to put her up against any other female vocalists, she would out sing them like they were nothing... her vocals would overpower the other's vocals.
Can you Imagine Aimer and Utada-san singing a song composed by Sawano Hiroyuki together?
Rayi i wont wish for anything else anymore if that happens :D
she is very pretty but she isn't all that great as a vocalist, she relies on her head voice too much, and her head voice is unfortunately quite strained.
As beautiful as her voice.
I'M NOT CRYING!!! YOU'RE CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!! NAMIDA NAMIDA NAMIDA!!!!
1:35 looks like she was about to cry her eyes get watery it is a emotional beautiful song and I dont think much things are beautiful.
I love her:(
That english fading back in all goes so well, just had to say something.
Hikki I will always love you!
Hikaru is 光 of my life
God bless Utada Hikaru
Seeing all these comments makes me glad I’m not the only sap here lol these lyrics are deep man
Ok, Wow!!!! Is she not best female vocalist or not? Her vocals are just so good and so damn enchanting.... I wonder how she got those vocals? Just so BEAUtiful.
By being raised at USA. Just like many highest tier Japanese singer, especially Nano.
These lyrics

Idk what it is but this makes me tear up
this is so much more significant of sora and kairi's feelings for each other. don't think twice is ok but this is the best
If the day comes when we can't be together, take me to your heart. I'll always be there
I feel like the English version (Don't Think Twice) is Kairi's POV and the Japanese (Chikai) is Sora's POV. Just seems to fit.
Rachael B i have never thought it that way. I always thought it was both of theirs combined. But this just changed the game 🤯
Definitely the other way lol. I think kairi loves sora a bit more than sora loves kairi. Just a lil bit though
@@flygonkerel781 idk man, he gave up everything for her in kh3
I feel like they complement each other, definitely. But I also think both songs can go for either of them
Kairl's love seems more mature than Sora's but they love each other equal and I think you are right in a way. But with languages it is iffy.
Can’t wait for the next 4-5? Years for kh4
