Hikaru Utada Debuts At Pipeline Cafe Honolulu

About Hikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada is one of the biggest pop stars in the universe, and she is making her Hawaii debut in 2010, at Pipeline Cafe.  Doors open at 7:00, show is at 8:00 pm.  Over the last ten years, her accomplishments in Japan are simply staggering.  Her 1999 debut “First Love” is the country's biggest-selling album of all time, and three of her albums rank among the Top Ten best-sellers.  She has had twelve #1 hits, including four songs in Japan's all-time Top 100.  2001's “Distance” had the largest first-week sales for any album in Japanese music history, selling an astonishing three million copies.  In total, the young singer has sold more than 52 million albums.
 
But unlike most pop starlets around the world, Utada is also a songwriter and producer; indeed, she says that she thinks of herself as a composer more than as a performer. And on “This Is The One,” her new Island Def Jam album, featuring ten self-penned songs produced by the powerhouse producers Stargate ( Ne-Yo, Rihanna, Beyonce) and Tricky ( Britney Spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey), 26-year-old Utada reveals the unique sense of songcraft that is poised to make her a force in the U.S. and European music communities.
