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.
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)
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!
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.
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?
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...

When I first heard this on RUclips, 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 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.
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
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.
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 ❤️
I wish the english version had lyrics more similar to this. It's so different it's like a different song entirely. Here you can actually picture Sora and Kairi sitting together sharing Paopu fruit. I mean even the name "Chikai" ties in so much better referencing the oaths they took and the oath keeper keyblade
That was exactly my thought. One song says something different to the other like being different sides of a coin, I still think if you can relate them well, we can tell a story with both.
No, absolutely not. The english version is great as it is, both versions tell a story, and if you really played the games and listened to the songs, you'd realise the english version is more accurate to KH as a journey. Kingdom of thieves, the many references to dreams, and clear message of not giving up, and going for it. Whereas the japanese version is even more focused on romantic love than the English version. The japanese lyrics might sound better to some people, but that doesn't mean it suits the thematic aspects of KH series that well.
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. :)
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.

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
"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.
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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

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
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)
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.
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

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
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.

"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!
Why am I crying from this? This song must be one of the best Japanese songs I've heard
Ditto!
- 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
In both English and Japanese this song is remarkable beyond words
Such a beautiful song *cries*
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.
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.
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.
Only her and Lana can give me goosebumps like this
there is something so magical about her voice
I can feel her soul just by watching this video, imagine how much more to those people that watched her live.
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
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
this is so beautiful
She is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
I am barely holding my tears...the song is so beautiful....
its feels like Riku perspective ;)
This is so beautiful, full of emotions, an amazing song, it is remarkable. Im crying like a child. Utada, you are amazing ♡
I actually cried to this version, and not the english, damn
So amazing
She’s amazing
Tears...
Tears everywhere...
Those lyrics are so Beautiful.
thank you for sharing 💖
No prob!
She is so genius…
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
Timeless Japanese Beauty.
Omg is it me or she teared up. The japanese version is so much more. Awesome.
Beautyful lyrics
Holy crap, is she rocking that undershaved bob look. Sploosh!
Thank you so much for sharing and subbing with this quality, i was hoping to see the full version :)
HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL💗
I always cry a bit listening and watching her sing this song. She’s a queen 💜
Such a beautiful song
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.
gosh omg the goosebumps hit me so hard when she started singing. she is so beautiful
TALENT
After playing the game.....this just hurts so much more now.... *weeps*
Que mulher meu Deus ❤🍃
The japanese version lyrics are more love instead of extreme sadness....
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.
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 ❤️
The lyrics are so damn meaningful, it's like a love lament
Utada Hikaru is still beautiful as ever since seeing her from my childhood to now 20 years later

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
She is so beautiful
Holy damn.... watching her perform in this video felt like a different experience.My soul
THIS WOMANS VOICE!!!
ชอบเพลงนี้มาก ร้องดีมากๆด้วย
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.
I'M NOT CRYING!!! YOU'RE CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!! NAMIDA NAMIDA NAMIDA!!!!
Such a goddess
Moving!
shes an absolute goddess
Perfect song for the ending KH3 and wedding . . . . . really love it
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. :)
I hope that she keeps continuing evolution.
Her voice is as beautiful as when she first started back when. Utada Hikaru foever!
Still as beautiful as when I first heard her over a decade ago.
I love her:(
Oh wow
She's so POWERFUL
Omg I have to work in a few minutes and clicked on this not expecting to cryyyyy aahhh my mascara xD
I noticed their eyes…this must be a very personal song to them 💙💔
INSTANT TEARS FROM THE FIRST NOTE!!!
The official Sokai song. ❤️😭
One of the best love or oath song for Sora and Kairi.
God bless Utada Hikaru
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.
Hikaru is 光 of my life
Utada ❤️
These lyrics
Hikki I will always love you!
da goat
Seeing all these comments makes me glad I’m not the only sap here lol these lyrics are deep man
Still the damn queen lol
The tears :(
Jesus Christ, man, this really got me tearing up...
