Your Top 3 Hikaru Songs
A question like this is more interesting with an artist like Ms. Hikki because her work is so diverse and versatile. I don't think there are clear favorites with the fanbase because of that and I love that. It's a testament of her insane talent as a writer and a musician.
Mine is:
Manatsu No Tooriame: One of my all time favorite songs by any artist. What a touching tribute to her late mother. It came out in a year of loss for me and it really helped me cope. I cried the first time I heard it even though I didn't know what she was saying in the lyrics until i read the translation later on but the feeling she conveyed reached me and touched me. Until this day when the first note of the bridge hits ( Kigi ga mebuku..) I get goosebumps all over my body. I'm forever thankful she gave us this intimate and personal song.
Heart Station: The theme of communication without even talking is one I understand and relate to. I've been there. She crafted an amazing atmosphere with the production. It's Tokyo, it's late at night, you're lonely, you're feeling wistful. She perfectly conveys that.
Colors: One of the best things about those artists who solely write their own music without help of other writers that write for many artists. Is that they write such unique songs you don't hear anywhere else. It's really hard to describe this song it's unlike anything ever. what a melody what a production.
