Hikki's back for some groovy summer melodies.

Beautiful World is Utada Hikaru's theme song contribution to the new Evangelion film, scheduled to open in 2008. Fans can also look forward to the tune Kiss & Cry from the "Cup Noodle TVCM FREEDOM" series and the remix version of the song Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) which was originally released in 1999. Utada promises fans another jolly good listening time.

I love it.

I was so exited to hear her new single. I loved this right on the spot! Beautiful World is very inspiring and the name fits the song very well. I absolutely loved Kiss & Cry. As you all know, it does have samples from Hotel Lobby. If you listen closely, you can tell. There was a little catch to this one - it has an ad for Nissin Cup Noodle right in the lyrics! Normally I would be downright disgusted by this, it's selling out to businesses... in the worst way ever. But Nissin noodles are quite good.

Pretty Decent Stuff!!

Wednesday, October 31, 2007
Reviewer: Loaniss (See all this customer reviews)

After the successful 'Flavor of Life' single, Utada Hikaru has a lot to live up to on the next one: 'Beautiful World / Kiss & Cry'.

Personally, I think she succeeded. The song 'Beautiful World' has become one of my favourites for her. It's kinda up-beat, which I take a liking to, and the vocals make really get into the song, well for me anyways.

Kiss & Cry is decent song with unexpected beat and opening that reminds one of Utada Hikaru during her 'Automatic' days. The samples from 'Hotel Lobbey' are good and make the song quite catchy.

'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' is something a little extra to the single, which is good. The song is in complete English, which is a little different, but it also has a nice little a beat to it you can tap to.

The downsides of the singles is what other people have mentioned; it's nothing amazingly new. After a while the songs feel like past songs. However, it isn't so bad as the songs that they are similar to are pretty goodl; ('Beautiful World' is similar to 'This Is Love'). Also, the song 'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' has nothing new do it, making it feel unnecessary.

Overall:
This is a good single. I think it's worth a buy as some of the songs have the potential to become favourites. However, they do give off the feeling that you may have heard it before.
