        Great Single 4

        Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry are two excellent tracks that take a few listens to get into. Beautiful World has a magical instrumentation with beautiful, sad lyrics. Utada hits her high notes perfectly in the song as well. Kiss & Cry goes back to her R&B roots with a mixture of her experimental style. The introduction of the brass hook you in and Utada's voice makes you stay. A catchy song. Fly Me to The Moon (In Other Words) ~2007 Mix~ wasn't that much of an improvement from the cover that was on her Wait and See ~Risk~ Single. The only difference I noticed was the part where she sings Poets. The Single also comes with Karaokes for all the songs. A CD+DVD version would have been useless since the PV's were more AMV's then anything. But I highly recommend this Single.

        This is one of my favorites... 5

        This single is a lot of fun to listen to. "Beautiful World" is just a gorgeous song--I get chills every time I listen to it. "Kiss & Cry" is a much more upbeat, cheerful number, and Hikaru does a wonderful job with this as well. I haven't heard much positive input for her redo of "Fly Me To The Moon"--apparently it sounds exactly like her previous cover of the song. But I really enjoy it--she pulls it off quite nicely, with a jazzy pop sort of feel to it. This single also includes the instrumental for all three songs, so enjoy! Hikki just keeps getting better--the only complaint I have with this single is that none of the PVs actually showed her. They were just these random clips from the movie that this single was a tie-in for. Oh well, I guess we, as the fans, will just have to make our own!

        Pop with substance. Highly recommended. 5

        Having never heard of Hikki before this time, I purchased this single because it is part of the soundtrack for the new Evangelion movie. I am most impressed by the quality of her work, which unlike a great deal of pop music these days has quality lyrics and musically interesting arrangements. Her biography on Wikipedia indicates an artist of outstanding talent who has accomplished a great deal at an early age. I will be looking forward to hearing her next album (and catching up on the others which I have missed).
