The flagship track of the NA version of Kindom Hearts is in English -- Same music, totally different lyrics.
Also, the lyrics of Simple and Clean (NA) are not a translation of Hikari (JP) |

Is the song in the English version of Kingdom Hearts in English, or is it the original? |

Nobody looks at the manual! Well at least I didn't..I didn't know though  . I can't remember names. I didn't even know she was a famous singer in Japan..or was it worldwide?  Sold 20 million copies..she did have another album in english but that's how she got disovered in Japan. |

You lost me at the "sings in the shower" bit, never mind WHAT he's singing.
Bella: Hikaru should be credited for it somewhere in the Kingdom Hearts instruction manual/credits. |

Hmm.... I need to find out if this is available for download (legally) somewhere.
I need to also see if I can download things from the ITMS. I don't think it's available here in Australia yet. Bleh..... |

Hakaru sang that song Simple and Clean? I did not know that.. ..I'm slow. Anyways, yeah I heard about her on MTV's Music First thingy that they show with the MTV News. I don't plan on purchasing the album yet until I hear more but from what I've heard she should do well 
SHE DID THAT SONG WITH FOXY BROWN?! I don't remember..but I kinda do. I didn't know that either..okay.. ::muy lento:: |

I have her COLORS single and it says that she wrote simple and clean since Simple and Clean is on it.
As for Hikki doing in America, it seems she will fare better than CubicU  |

There's a reason people call the band HIM, drjay.
...
'Cos that's the band's name. ;P Sure, it stands for His Infernal Majesty, but you know, AFI stands for A Fire Inside but the band's still called AFI.  |

I'm planning on picking up this album soon. I think it should be okay sounding. |

It *should* be in most music stores, Anya. At least that's what I managed to dig up info-wise... might be in a different section depending where you go though.

Hopefully, I can find this CD in stores, if not in the usual music stores, than at my local anime store. I have heads of her songs already, but I still want to own this CD.
I knew that she was on the Rush Hour II ST several months ago. Pretty good track to boot.
PS Does anyone know is she actually wrote "Simple and Clean" or was it prewritten for her? |

What's surprising me (after a quick check) is the Amazon rankings. #42 in the States, which isn't shabby at all... and #2 in Canada. 
The top 10 albums in Canada next week should be very interesting if this keeps up.
And yeah, the album seems to be a mix of this and that. I'm trying to look for more neutral stuff, but... you know the fanboys. |

Can't you technically say she made it with the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack? She did "Blow My Whistle" with Foxy Brown, and that was all in English.
EDIT: MY HEAD A SPLODE. She recorded said album... with the drummer for THE MARS VOLTA?! Now THERE'S an improbable pairing for ye. And he worked with His Infernal Majesty (the kids call 'em H.I.M.), Trans Am (and consequently, Fucking Am, their merger with the Fucking Champs) and Royal Trux. Where did THIS gig come from? |

Ah, I've been listening to a bit of Utada Hikaru lately, but I didn't realise this
Very interesting indeed. Would like to have a listen when I can |
