It's such a crime that she's essentially unknown in U.S. aside from being attached to the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Some people are online thinking she's a new K-Pop girl which is insulting given her tenure in the industry but flattering considering her age lol Her media presence in the U.S is very niched only real gamers and anime folk are aware of her but real fans that know her catalogue knew AUTOMATIC. I would have really freaked if she performed something from her DISTANCE album.

She’s a living legend for us Asians. She was and still is revolutionary in the music industry. Not only that, she so damn smart she got into Columbia University but dropped out to focus on her music. She has so many hits - not to mention she write and produce her own music. My favorites are ‘Colors’, ‘Sakura Drops’, ‘Prisoner of Love’ and ‘Goodbye Happiness’.

[@YourXellency]

I'm not Asian but I used to carry her albums and music vids with me even while in military training in '03. Few of my fellow Marines were surprised at how well she pulled off singing in both English and Japanese with her being from NY. Fast forward to the 2020s and one of our OTF coaches play her classic songs for about a year or two before the Shanghai Lockdown shut us all down.

[@saiko-rz7jb]

not asian, only Japan

[@iTeacupPanda]

I'm from the UK and she was not only my introduction to music in other languages but still remains my favorite of them. She really managed to bring an etherealness to pop that was palletable and still mainstream friendly. You could also hear her inspirations while she sounded entirely her own. but yeah I've been living in the US a while as well and it's crazy how people not only in Amerca - Europe and of course Japan ( I'm assuming a lot of Asia ) associate her to nostalgia and constantly come back to her.

[@santiyapradipasena9688]

@@saiko-rz7jb if we are going to be so technical like that then the success of movies like Parasite and idol groups like Black Pink are purely belong to Korea? Lisa is Thai but since she’s successful due to K-pop, me as a Thai can’t be proud of her as a Thai person? We have enough racism AGAINST us. Let’s not be racist among ourselves.

Ikr! I wouldn’t be shocked if there were people in the crowd that were like “what is this weeb music, just bring out Travis Scott already”

[@stercussinefortuna]

I didn't even know that Utada Hikaru performed at Coachella this year 😭 She's the artist that introduced me to not only Japanese music but foreign music in general. There's just something about her music that stands out to me. First Love, Beautiful World (from Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone), Hikari/Simple and Clean (from Kingdom Hearts II), Passion/Sanctuary (from Kindom Hearts III), Flavor of Life (from Hana Yori Dango), Sakura, Traveling, Deep River, Keep Tryin', Blue, Colors, Heart Station, and Stay Gold are some of the songs I love from her. She also went on a long hiatus back then. So happy to see her performing here 😭

[@juliepagala975]

Hearing her sing her iconic First Love at her age and still reaching the high notes makes my heart ache like the first time I heard that song in my life about a decade ago. That's when you know a singer truly reached your heart and soul.

omg she literally slayeddddd First Love. The crowd went so quiet like they were actually listening lol. Her voice sounds so strong! Always impresses me Utada mostly performs her songs in the same key they were recorded. A song when she was 16. Very underrated as a vocalist, imo.

[@ariwora8351]

Thank you so much 😭👍💖

[@johnnash3987]

For me, Utada Hikaru is one of the pioneers why the world is now appreciating music in Asia. There may be some other Asians who became famous but Utada is a legend.

OMG! I grew up with Kingdom Hearts and Utada’s beautiful voice and songs. Simple and Clean was the perfect song choice for the game. Hearing her sing it live in 2022 makes me so happy, as if she’s keeping such an extraordinary 2000s game alive! She sounds just as wonderful as she did back then! ❤

Beautiful legend. Fell in love with the Japanese language thanks to Utada Hikaru in 2002 after hearing First Love. She's overcome so much to be where she is now and still doing her best to inspire the next generation. ファイト 宇多田 ヒカルさん! ❤️ She has an amazing live on Netflix for anyone who's interested. The storytelling through the lyrics are something that will be missed by many but a blessing understood by some. Play a love song 🎵

…ever heard her version of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams?!?!…all the aforementioned people don’t have the blue-blood of J-Pop history like she comes from-including her parents. She doesn’t make records for cheap fame and trends, otherwise she wouldn’t come out at this point after* making record after record and living her own life. People have no idea.

[@tojin]

Exactly. Utada's album 'First Love' is the one that sold more than any other J-pop albums in history to date, and the true piece of music which elevated the status of Asian pop to the globe.

[@esther2569]

I knew her through Kingdom Hearts when I was about 11 and I got addicted to her music. I listened to all of her albums and I have followed her since. I have never liked j-pop, and even if I liked some manga or anime as a teen, I don't think you can like the rest of Japanese things just because they're Japanese. Her music stands out and she has a unique style and voice. It's a pity she's not listened to internationally. It is truly something else. It bothers me that only people interested in Japan get to know her. Music shouldn't work like that, but it is how it is. Great, great artist, very creative and unique voice and style. Thank you Utada Hikaru ❤
