Album Description
Asian exclusive release of the third album for Japanese singer/songwriter who's possibly the most recognized Asian music artist in the world.
---
Hikaru Utada is a Japanese pop sensation that has ruled Japanese, Korean, and even Hong Kong radiowaves for years. Think Britney Spears circa 2000, only with more emphasis on talent and less on her body. Although Hikaru is very easy on the eyes. With the release of her best album yet, DEEP RIVER, she is set to take over the rest of the world.

Hikaru was featured on the RUSH HOUR 2 soundtrack and is currently working on an all English album and ready to make her crossover debut in the USA. If she succeeds, she'll be the first Asian pop-star to do so. And if anyone has the talent to pull a feat like that off then it's Hikaru Utada.

This edition of DEEP RIVER features a bonus disc with her English version of the wonderful song "Hikari," called "Simple & Clean." Simple & Clean isn't an English translation of "Hikari," but it's the same music as "Hikari" with completely different English lyrics. Other stand out tracks among this album choc-ful of great music includes the dance-beat driven "Traveling" and the beautiful yet non-sappy love song "Sakura Drops." If you're looking to expand your CD collection or just for an entrance into the world of Japanese pop, then get this album. It is the standard by which all other J-Pop albums should be measured.
