This is a Japanese name; the family name is Utada.

Utada Hikaru (宇多田ヒカル, Utada Hikaru? born January 19, 1983), also known by her fan-nickname of Hikki (ヒッキー, Hikkī?), is a Japanese pop singer-songwriter.

She has been hailed as one of the most successful, influential and acclaimed pop singers in Japanese music history. With the release of her seven studio albums, including one compilation and two all-English, 23 solo singles (17 Japanese and 6 English) and several VHS/DVD releases, she has sold a combined estimated total in Japan of some 35,000,000 records in Japan as of the end of 2006, making her the 9th most successful musical act ever in Japan. Her worldwide total sales of albums, singles and VHS/DVDs to date is well past 40,000,000 units. Her unusual success has been, in large part, because of her fluent bilingual skills in English and Japanese, having been raised in New York City and Tokyo. Utada became an unprecedented icon in Japan after her debut, First Love, began shattering a number of records in 1999, and has shown extremely consistent and strong sales of albums, singles and chart presence since. She has won the Golden Disk (Japan's most-esteemed musical award) "Song of the Year" award for twelve of her singles since 2000, a record for a solo or group artist. In addition, she has won the Golden Disk "Pop/Rock Album of the Year" award for all but one of her Japanese studio albums.

In 2003, HMV Japan announced that Utada Hikaru is the #24 Japanese pop artist in its survey of "Top 100 Japanese pop artists" of all-time, making her the youngest artist with the highest rank in that survey.[1] In 2006, Utada Hikaru also ranked #10 in HMV's "Top 30 Best Japanese Singers of All Time".[2]

[edit] Utada's names

Utada's name variations have been a source of some minor confusion in the past.

* Her legal name at birth was Hikaru Utada (宇多田光, Utada Hikaru?).
* For her original U.S. debut album, she used the name Cubic U. However, she gained very little fame at this stage in her career.
* For her Japanese recordings, she has used the name Utada Hikaru (宇多田ヒカル, Utada Hikaru?), with her given name in katakana. Unlike most Japanese artists, she became well known in the English speaking world under this surname-first name ordering, since her name has been romanized only in that order for the Japanese domestic market.
* In Japan, it was known to her fans that her nickname growing up in the U.S. was "Hikki". However, due to her immense popularity in Japan, she became better known under this nickname in Japan than in the United States.
* After her successes in Japan, she re-entered the U.S. market simply as Utada. On a few rare occasions, she has been credited in full on U.S. domestic albums as either "Hikaru Utada" or "Utada Hikaru".
* Her legal name in Japan was Hikaru Iwashita (岩下光, Iwashita Hikaru?) due to her marriage to Kiriya Kazuaki (whose real name is Kazuhiro Iwashita). However, she does not use this name for most public purposes. Her legal name in the United States has not been clear especially since the announcement of her divorce on March 2, 2007.

Hikaru Utada was born in New York, to Japanese parents with roots in the Japanese music industry. Her father, Teruzane Utada, was a record producer; her mother, Junko Utada, was an enka singer who performed under the stage name "Keiko Fuji."

She made her first professional recording at the age of twelve. She continued her recordings with her mother and released songs under U3 until 1996, when she started her first solo project "I'll be Stronger." The "Cookin' With Moses Vocal" was originally called the "Cookin' With Gas Vocal" on the promo disk. "I'll Be Stronger" was the first song Utada Hikaru wrote and was released under the name Cubic U (Utada Hikaru's pseudonym before becoming a superstar in Japan). The song failed to be released in the USA and in 1997 she started her next project.

[edit] Precious era

Cubic U released her debut single "Close to You," which was a cover of the Carpenter's song. She then released her debut album "Precious," but it failed to be released in the United States due to restructuring issues at her then record label EMI US.

The album led to her career overseas. In an MTV interview (MTV's You Hear It First, October 2004), Utada said: "Someone in Japan heard it, at a Japanese record company, and he said, 'Oh, can't you write in Japanese? You speak Japanese.' And I didn't want to say no, so I had to try it."

She released "Precious" in Japan on January 28, 1998 and then later re-released it on March 31, 1999 to much better success. It has sold 702,060 copies to date in Japan, making it a significant hit for an all-English album in this industry.

[edit] First Love era

Utada moved to Tokyo later that year and attended the American School in Japan as well as Seisen International School, while continuing to record on a new contract with Toshiba-EMI. She soon made her mark on Japanese music with her phenomenally successful single "Automatic / time will tell" (over 2,063,000 units sold cumulatively of its two versions, made it the 2nd most successful single by a solo female artist in Japanese music history, behind Namie Amuro's Can You Celebrate?) and, two months later, with "Movin' on without you" (her first #1 single that would also clear 1 million confirmed units), soon followed by her much-anticipated official studio debut album First Love, which sold over five million copies in a month during March and April of 1999, and placed Utada among the 100 wealthiest people in Japan. Since the "Automatic / time will tell" single were actually two separate products (8 cm and 12 cm versions), she only managed to reach #4 and #2 on the Oricon. Her next single "Movin' on without you" would achieve the #1 ranking on Oricon, and would become her second platinum single and first #1 single. A month after First Love was released, "First Love" was released as a single due to popular demand, and sold 800,000 units, a very impressive feat for a post-album single. It should be noted that this was Utada's only album to have only three single releases, all her subsequent work would contain at least four. In addition to the album reaching #1 on the daily, weekly and monthly charts of the Oricon Top 200, she also broke the record of units (the previous title holder was B'z The Best "Pleasure" compilation by the rock duo B'z) sold of a single album in Japan by the year's end (over 7.6 million units), all by age 16, which she still holds to this day.

First Love is the most commercially successful debut and overall album by a Japanese artist in Japanese music history, having sold over 10 million copies throughout Asia, nearly 8 million copies sold in Japan alone.[citation needed]

[edit] Distance era

Eight months after "First Love" was released, Utada then released a single, "Addicted To You." It hit #1 on the Oricon and eventually sold 1,784,000 copies, and remains her most successful single of all time ("Automatic" isn't considered to be by Oricon rules to be her highest-selling single since its was released in two separate versions versus this one). On April 19, 2000, Utada released her first of two singles for this year, "Wait & See ~Risk~." It also reached #1 pinnacle on the Oricon and sold another astounding total: 1,662,000 copies. A month later, she released a half single "Remix: Fly Me to the Moon" in English and Toshiba-EMI released an animated music video for the single version of Fly Me to the Moon. The single was a limited edition release, but did sell out rapidly of its 20,000 units, and had a chart peak of #16 on the Oricon. The follow-up "For You / Time Limit," her second double A-sided single, was released in late June, and proved much more successful, becoming her fourth #1 hit, selling 888,650 units. It was her last single in 2000, and whom's success could probably be attributed to that, in July-August of this year, Utada decided to go on her first major headlining tour, the Bohemian Summer Circuit Live 2000, within weeks post its release. Utada returned to New York after "For You / Time Limit"'s release to attend Columbia University as a freshman, but finding her break into Japanese music scene "easier than expected", she left after a year to pursue her career.[3]

In 2001, Utada released a final Distance single, "Can You Keep a Secret?" on February 16, 2001. It brought her #1 hit count up to five, and became her fifth platinum single, selling an eventual 1.484 million units. A month later, she released her highly anticipated sophomore album, "Distance," on March 28, 2001, after nearly a two year hiatus. It was awarded with the largest first-week sales for any album in J-music history, with over 3.02 million units sold.[4]At the end of 2001, it became the most sold album for any J-music artist worldwide with 4.469 million copies sold in Japan alone. She had the #1 single and album of the year as well in Japan, for Distance and its last released single, "Can You Keep A Secret?" Distance is also the fourth best-selling album of all time in Japan.[5]

The video for Utada's 2001 song "Can You Keep a Secret?" received some attention as part of "International Week," which coincided with the 2001 EMAs, on the American channel MTV2. The video's airplay was likely Utada's first chance at exposure in the United States.

[edit] Deep River era

After Distance, Utada quickly released the singles "Final Distance", "traveling", "Hikari", and "Sakura Drops / Letters" for her 2002 follow-up album, Deep River. With the exception of "Final Distance" (#2 peak), they would all become instant #1 smashes on the Oricon singles chart, selling a combined total of about 2.8 million physical units by the end of 2002.

In May of 2002, she became sick right before the release of Deep River. She was diagnosed with an ovarian tumor, and then underwent surgery.[6] During this period, she had to put on hold her TV appearances and other promotional activities. In June of 2002, just over a year and a month after "Distance", the album was released. While there were no TV appearances, she promoted her album in magazine and radio interviews. The Oricon count of the album was another amazing first-week sales debut for Utada, with 2.35 million sold for the week post its release day, or 1.89 million by Planet's count. Oricon reports that sales eventually surpassed 3.60 million, meaning she was the only singer or group in Japanese music history to have three consecutive albums surpass the triple-platinum (3 million) sold mark, by RIAA standards. It was also her third consecutive time to hold the #1 position on Oricon's Yearly Albums chart.[7] Once again, she had the #1 album of the year, but had the #2 single with "traveling", behind rival Ayumi Hamasaki's "H". Deep River is also the eighth best selling album of all time in Japan.[8]

In 2001, Utada performed a well-received duet with Foxy Brown, "Blow My Whistle", which is featured on the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack.

[edit] Marriage

Shortly afterwards, in September 2002, she announced her marriage to Kazuaki Kiriya, a photographer and film director fifteen years her senior. Kazuaki Kiriya, a director (divorced on March 2, 2007[3]) he has directed several of her music videos, including "Final Distance", "traveling", "Hikari", "Sakura Drops", "Deep River", "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro", "Be My Last", "Passion", and "Keep Tryin'". Also, "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" is the theme song of Kiriya's directorial debut, Casshern

[edit] Pre-Exodus era

Utada released "COLORS", a single, on January 29, 2003 and her only single in 2003. She then released a singles compilation album Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol.1 on March 31, 2004. It set a new array of records for Utada's already legendary discography. It became the best-selling album of 2004 in Japan, making her the only solo or group artist to reach #1 four times on the yearly charts. It was the first compilation album to reach #1 in six years on the yearly charts, and the first compilation album to reach #1 in twenty six years by a female artist.[9] It debuted with 1.4 million units sold in its first week and would eventually go on to sell over 3.4 million units, which was a particularly amazing achievement, since it received very little promotion and contained no new material or photos. Moreover, it charted longer on the Oricon Albums chart longer than any other Utada release to date, over 2 years. It was also her first to debut at #1 on the United World Charts, the first time in music history for any Asian artist.[10] A month later, on April 21, she released her only Japanese single in 2004, "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro", which was a heavy power, acoustic-piano ballad that topped the singles chart for two consecutive weeks, and almost unheard of feat for that chart, and sold 365,000 units by the year's end. The title translates to "When Someone's Wish Comes True", and it is also the main theme song for Casshern, her ex-husband's directorial debut.

Both "Colors" and "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" would eventually become available in Utada's fourth studio album, Ultra Blue.

[edit] Exodus era

On October 5, 2004, Utada Hikaru released her North American English-language debut album, Exodus, under the name "Utada". It was released nearly a month earlier, on September 9 in Japan, with a special booklet and housed in a cardboard slipcase. In an MTV interview, Utada said: "I don't think it's the music that I'm concerned about. It's obviously that I look really different and there really aren't any completely Asian people [who are popular singers in the U.S.] right now."[11] Exodus became Utada's fourth consecutive release to debut at #1 and boast 500,000+ first-week sales. It had a chart run of twenty weeks on the Oricon and saw her reach #1 on the World United Charts a second time.[12] It sold considerably less than her three previous Japanese releases as Utada Hikaru, possibly due to its heavy experimentation in other music genres such as dance and hip hop. However, it still managed to sell an outstanding 1.35 million copies, despite the fact that, strangely enough, none of its singles charted in Japan and it was a foreign language album to the territory.

In spite of enlisting the help of Timbaland to produce and co-write some songs, her American debut as an Island Def Jam Music Group artist was met with indifference by the American market, almost purely due in part to the fact there was virtually no promotion on her record label's part, selling a minimal 30,000 units. Despite the failure in the international markets, this album topped the charts in Japan, though again, it sold less than her releases as Utada Hikaru.

"Easy Breezy" was released as the lead single in early August 2004, peaking at #9 Billboard Hot Dance/Club Airplay chart, followed up by "Devil Inside" a month and two weeks later. "Exodus '04" was released at the end of June 2005. The fourth single from her Exodus album, "You Make Me Want to Be a Man", was released in October 2005. "Devil Inside" became a club smash in the U.S. and topped the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Airplay charts, and remains her most successful single release in the U.S.. "Exodus '04" also charted with a lesser #24 peak. Maxi singles featuring remixes from The Scum Frog, Richard Vission, JJ Flores and Peter Bailey were also released. Both the Exodus album and "You Make Me Want to Be a Man" single were released in the UK, with different artwork from the USA and Japanese versions, in October 2005, another #1 on the Billboard Dance chart. The song was also featured on the Japanese Nintendo DS Launch Campaign. ([1])

[edit] 2006-present: Ultra Blue revolution

[edit] Ultra Blue era

A year after the international releases and promotion of Exodus, Utada triumphantly returned to the Japanese music scene with the proper first "Ultra Blue" single, "Be My Last". Although it became her eleventh #1 Japanese single to date as of 2006, it sold considerably less than all of her previous singles pushing only 150,000 units. These relatively low physical sales by Utada standards were probably due to its lack of A-sides or B-sides on the single. Instead of purchasing an expensive single with few songs and a lack of a karaoke track, consumers bought the song digitally which, on an opposite view of its overall success, led to extremely strong digital sales, as demonstrated by the single topping the OnGen digital chart and coming in at #2 on the iTunes Japan yearly chart. The single itself demonstrated a new era in Utada's music, with emotionally charged lyrics incorporated into a ballad unlike any of her previous compositions.

Three months later, she released another single mid-December, "Passion", commonly known around the world as the theme for the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II. Despite the large tie in for the single, it only peaked at #4 on the Oricon Top 200 singles charts. The single would sell only 112,000 physical units. Yet again, however, Utada proved to be a top digital seller as "Passion" did reach #1 on the OnGen Weekly Downloaded Singles chart, as well as iTunes Japan. "Passion" would also be her last single released in 2005. In addition to "Passion", Utada composed an English song, "Sanctuary", that would be used in the Kingdom Hearts II advertisement and game releases worldwide. Despite the same background music found in both songs, the meaning and lyrics of the two songs are notably quite different, much as "Simple and Clean" and "Hikari" were before them for Kingdom Hearts. Interestingly, Utada reportedly wrote and recorded "Sanctuary" before "Passion".

After another three months, Utada released another, and final physical single, from her upcoming Ultra Blue album entitled "Keep Tryin'" on February 22, 2006. In addition to a much stronger performance on the Oricon weekly single charts than "Passion" (the single reached #2 behind Hyde's "Season's Call" by about 3,000 units or so), "Keep Tryin'" also garnered the strongest digital sales of any Utada release single to date, staying at #1 on the OnGen top 20 weekly online download singles for over a phenomenal two months. The song also sold more than 2.5 million downloads digitally, more than sixteen times as many copies as the physical single sold 2006. Although these low sales by Utada standards reflected in the performance of the physical single in comparison to earlier achievements, "Keep Tryin'" reached number one on iTune Japan's year-end chart. Compared to Utada's recent track releases, "Keep Tryin'" was a much more upbeat song with a more encouraging and immediate message of perseverance. Moreover, Utada included a B-side on this single, the first B-side she had included in over three years, since 2003's "Colors". The B-side, "Wings", was a soft R&B tune.

In May of 2006, Utada released her first Japanese digital sales only single, "This Is Love", which would not be available in physical format. It aired on the radio on Sunday, May 7, 2006, and the song was released as a digital single through iTunes Japan on May 31 and other online and mobile phone music stores and topped the iTunes Japan sales chart for that week. It would go on to be the ninth most downloaded song in Japan for 2006, continuing her trend as a top contender in digital sales of songs. The song was used as a promotional tool for Utada's fourth Japanese album, Ultra Blue. The entire album aired on Japanese radio on May 29, 2006. Unlike many of her previous albums, this album contained no track that matched the title of the album. Instead, a ballad, "Blue" was recorded, using Utada's new experimental pop/dance tone found in the album's last physical single "Keep Tryin'" and other Ultra Blue tracks, such as "This Is Love", "Making Love" and "One Night Magic" with Yamada Masashi, lead vocalist of the Back Horn, her first collaboration ever (besides "Blow My Whistle" with rapper Foxy Brown on the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack). The album was finally released on June 14, 2006 for physical CDs and released on June 28, 2006 for digital download in many Japanese online stores, most notably iTunes Japan. With physical copies alone, Ultra Blue cleared 500,317 copies in the first week out, easily topping the Oricon Daily, Weekly and even Monthly charts, in addition to her third #1 debut on the United World Charts, still the most for any Asian or foreign artist to date. This gave Utada her sixth consecutive chart-topping album to sell in excess of 500,000 units for first-week sales, setting a new record. It also charted a second week at #1 on the Oricon Daily and Weekly charts, selling a further 157,000 units.

As of week thirty-one of charting on the Oricon (the week of January 21-27, 2007), it has sold 890,768 units and has been certified triple-platinum by the RIAJ. These figures may seem low by Utada Hikaru standards, but it was still more than enough to be the highest-selling original studio album by a Japanese female artist for 2006.[13] Even though this makes Ultra Blue the first Japanese studio album to not reach #1 on the Oricon Yearly Album rankings in her ongoing discography, Oricon has confirmed it was the 2nd highest selling original album of 2006, behind Def Tech's "Catch The Wave", and the 7th best-selling album overall, counting it to still be a major success for her (It should be noted all the top five best-selling albums were "best of "collections). This was also Utada's first, and so far the only, album to be available on the iTunes Japan online music store, where it has been immensely successful, hurting it's physical album sales.

[edit] Utada United and "Boku wa Kuma"

"Utada United 2006" commenced June 30, 2006 (about a week after Ultra Blue's release) and ended on September 12, 2006 after Utada's performances at Yoyogi. Aside from her Japanese work, the tour's set list featured songs from Exodus. The dates were all cumulatively announced, and ticket sales started on May 28, 2006 with the majority of venues selling out in less than two hours. On September 20, 2006, Exodus was re-released in Japan for ¥1,470. Also to be released in September 2006 was the "Utada Hikaru Single Collection" Volume 4, which will feature all of the music videos for all the Ultra Blue singles, in addition to "A Making" segment for each of them. It will also feature the live internet footage of "Be My Last" and "Passion" which were performed in late 2005. For the week of October 8, 2006, it entered the Oricon Music DVD charts at #1, selling an approximate 22,000 units. [2]

On November 22, 2006, Utada released an anticipated new single, "ぼくはくま (, Boku wa Kuma?, lit. I'm a Bear)." The song is tied with Passion as her lowest charting single as it placed #4 in its first week, and it also has the lowest first-week sales of her career. Even so, its been her first single since "Dareka no Negai Ga Kanau Koro" to chart at more than three consecutive or non-consecutive weeks in the "Top 10 Oricon singles" chart. As of the end of the week for January 27, 2007, the single has sold 125,492 copies, although it should be noted that Oricon only counts the standard edition sales of this and all singles, meaning that actual total sales may be higher than published. In the singles favor, the sales have been outstandingly resilient. Despite low first week sales, Boku wa Kuma has stayed in the top twenty for nine consecutive weeks, selling more than 10,000 copies each week up until its seventh.[14] Despite such initially slow sales, it's already her most successful single since "Be My Last" in 2005 and has surpassed the sales of her previous two singles: "Passion" and "Keep Tryin'".[15]

Boku wa Kuma's title is a reference to her stuffed bear, Kuma-chan, and is her first time writing a children's song. Oricon Style did confirm that "Boku wa Kuma" and its karaoke version were the only tracks on this new single, as originally there were to be six, including either an A or B-side with another new track, "Hero".[16]Included in the first press edition of the single will be a picture book created by Utada, and the single will be used in Japan's NHK channel's Minna no Uta children's program commercials as an advanced promotional tool from November 2006 through January of 2007. This is also Utada's first single release to have three different pressings: one limited edition that includes a picture book, a standard single and cover, and then finally one CD+DVD combo pack (that is confirmed to only contain a music video for the single in its tracklist). As a special gift to fans, and her last release of any kind for 2006, will be the "Utada United 2006" tour show DVD which released on December 20, 2006, as well as her previous three live DVDs in new packaging at lowered prices on that same day.

[edit] "Flavor Of Life"

In early 2007 Hikaru's official site disclosed a new single was to be released in February entitled "Flavor Of Life." This single included a ballad version and a karaoke along with a remix as a bonus track. "Flavor Of Life" was released on February 28, 2007.[17] This single was Hikaru's first drama tie-in since SAKURA drops. "Flavor Of Life - Ballad Version-" was featured as the insert song for the second season of the popular Japanese drama, Hana Yori Dango.

At the beginning of February, it was revealed that "Flavor Of Life -Ballad Version-" was the most downloaded ringtone of January and was certified triple platinum by RIAJ. On the eve of the release of the "Flavor Of Life", it was revealed that the ballad version has been downloaded over 2,000,000 times before the release of the single, a new record for Japan and worldwide.[18]

"Flavor Of Life" debuted at number one on the Oricon daily chart. Oricon soon confirmed that Utada would have a secure number one for the week. Despite an initial shipment of 400,000, some stores were reporting that they were out of the single on the first day of sales.[19] The first week sales were confirmed at 270,605, Hikaru's highest first week sales since 2003's "COLORS," and a female artist's highest since Ayumi Hamasaki's &.[20] A week after release, Flavor of Life had been downloaded 3 million times. The combination of these sales and airplay has made this single one of Hikaru's most popular in years.

[edit] Divorce

On 2 March 2007, Utada Hikaru and her husband Kazuaki Kiriya were officially divorced was finalized and announced this in her blog the next day, March 3rd, thus ending their four and half years marriage. The ex-couple stated that many factors contributed to the divorce, including personal changes, different viewpoints on the future of their marriage, and more importantly, lack of communication due to the nature of their jobs. Kiriya, her ex-husband, hoped that his ex-wife's fans continue their support for her and that the divorce would not affect her reputation and sales. Kiriya stated that they could not "emotionally depend on each other" and wished for everybody to support Hikaru.[21]

On the night of their divorce, Utada Hikaru performed in the music show MUSIC STATION and was seen already without her ring.
