Utada Hikaru was born in New York City to Japanese parents who both had roots in the Japanese music industry; her father, Teruzane Utada, was a producer, while her mother, Junko Utada, was an enka singer (she performed under the stage name Keiko Fuji). Utada Hikaru has been recording since 1993. She made her first professional recording at the age of twelve, and recorded her first album, Precious, in 1996 under the pseudonym Cubic U. This album led to her career overseas. In a recent MTV interview (MTV's You Hear It First, October 2004), Utada said: "Someone in Japan heard it, at a Japanese record company, and he said, 'Oh, can't you write in Japanese? You speak Japanese.' And I didn't want to say no, so I had to try it."
Utada Hikaru may be most known in some cultures for her contribution to the Square-Enix & Disney video game series "Kingdom Hearts" where she performed the song "Hikari"/"光" (or mostly known as "Simple and Clean" in the English version) for the first game. She also performed "Sanctuary" and "Passion" (English and Japanese versions of the same song, respectively) for the second game.
A tour of Japan, "Utada United 2006," commenced on June 30th, 2006 (about a week after Ultra Blue's release) and ended on September 12th, 2006 after Utada Hikaru's performances at Yoyogi. Aside from her Japanese work, the tour's set list featured songs from her debut English-language album Exodus. The dates were all cumulatively announced, and ticket sales started on May 28th, 2006 with the majority of venues selling out in less than two hours.
Utada Hikaru was married to Kazuaki Kiriya, a photographer and movie director. He directed several of her music videos, including "Final Distance", "Traveling", "Hikari"/"光", "Sakura Drops", "Deep River", "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro"/"誰かの願いが叶うころ", "You Make Me Want to Be a Man", "Be My Last", "Passion", and "Keep Tryin'". Also, "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro"/"誰かの願いが叶うころ" was played during the credits of Kiriya's directorial debut, Casshern. Their 4 1/2-year marriage was drawn to a close on March 2nd, 2007 as both Kazuaki Kiriya and Utada Hikaru filed divorce papers.
Utada Hikaru released the single "Flavor of Life" on February 28th, 2007. Her next single, "Beautiful World / Kiss & Cry", was released in Japan on August 29th, 2007 - A track which also doubled as the theme song to the anime movie "Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone", which opened in theaters in Japan on September 1st.
On the 20th of February, 2008, Utada Hikaru released her 20th Japanese single, HEART STATION/Stay Gold which reached #1 on Japan’s weekly radio charts, which was followed shortly after by her 6th Japanese studio album, HEART STATION released on the 19th of March, 2008.

AUTOMATIC
Utada Hikaru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah...
You pick up the phone on the seventh ring
Even if I don't say my name
You know who it is by my voice
The melody that falls naturally from my lips
But I was most happy when I lost my words
Even on days when I have problems
On my rainy days, when I can't see you
Just by hearing your voice, automatically the sun will shine
It's automatic, just by being by your side
Just by you looking at me with those eyes
The excitement won't stop
I can't say no
I just can't help it
It's automatic, when I'm held by you
It seems like we're in paradise
Shining brightly
I close my eyes and soon I feel so good
It's automatic
Your ambiguous attitude still makes me uneasy
So being this infatuated with you
Is still necessary for a while
Even on the days when your kindness was hard to bear
You always told the truth
On rainy days whe I can't cry alone
If I touch my ring, look, the sun will shine
It's automatic, just by being by your side
My whole body gets warm
I can't hide my excitement
I can't even take a breath
I just can't help it
It's automatic
When I access it
I try to touch the glittering words
Inside the computer screen and I feel so warm
It's automatic, just by being by your side
I don't think you're beloved, just necessary
It's not because I'm sad
I just need you
It's automatic, when I'm held by you
It seems like we're in paradise
Shining brightly
I feel so good
It's automatic...
I just want you here with me
Tell me why
It's automatic
Automatic......
The song "Automatic" by Utada Hikaru 宇多田光 is a romantic ballad about being in love and feeling alive when with the one you love. The lyrics express the idea that when the singer is with her loved one, everything feels easy, problems fade away, and even on rainy days, just hearing their voice is enough to make her feel the warmth of the sun. The singer describes how being with her lover is automatic - it's something that just happens and she can't control it, but it makes her feel so good.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that love is not always easy, as the singer mentions feeling uneasy about her lover's ambiguous attitude and needing him in her life, even when it's not always easy to bear his kindness. However, no matter what, just being by his side makes her feel warm and alive.
Overall, "Automatic" is a beautiful love song that expresses the ups and downs of being in a relationship, but ultimately celebrates the joy and warmth that comes from being with the person you love.

【歌詞☺︎】
七回目のベルで受話器を取った君
名前を言わなくても声で
すぐ分かってくれる
唇から自然とこぼれ落ちるメロディー
でも言葉を失った瞬間が 一番幸せ
嫌なことがあった日も
君に会うと全部フッ飛んじゃうよ
君に会えない my rainy days
声を聞けば自動的に sun will shine
It's automatic 側にいるだけで
その 目に見つめられるだけで
ドキドキ止まらない Noとは言えない
I just can't help
It's automatic 抱きしめられると
君とParadiseにいるみたい
キラキラまぶしくて 目をつぶるとすぐ
I feel so good It's automatic
あいまいな態度がまだ不安にさせるから
こんなにほれてることは
もう少し秘密にしておくよ
やさしさがつらかった日も
いつも本当のことを言ってくれた
ひとりじゃ泣けない rainy days
指輪をさわれば ほらね sun will shine
It's automatic 側にいるだけで
体中が熱くなってくる
ハラハラ隠せない 息さえ出来ない
I just can't help
It's automatic アクセスしてみると
映るcomputer screenの中
チカチカしてる文字 手をあててみると
I feel so warm
It's automatic 側にいるだけで
愛しいなんて思わない
ただ必要なだけ 淋しいからじゃない
I just need you
It's automatic 抱きしめられると
君とParadiseにいるみたい
キラキラまぶしくて
I feel so good It's automatic

BE:FIRST(ビーファースト) がFNS歌謡祭で
カバーしてて本家見に来ました、
いい意味で歌い方を真似してなくて
彼らなりに宇多田さんをリスペクトしながらも彼らの個性が出てますね。
検索したら出てくるかも?
ぜひ宇多田さんご本人にも見て聴いてもらいたいです。
歌い出しから彼らの
Automaticの世界に連れていかれますよ🔥
どちらにせよ この楽曲が神曲👼

中国の方ですか。
政治関係が民間の友好関係の妨げになってしまうのは悲しいですよね。
中国の方でも宇多田ヒカルが愛されていて嬉しいです。
