Heart Station Customer Reviews

Good album of Hikaru Utada. Most of the songs are very good, and there is also the two interpretation of Flavor of Life. The Best songs are Fight the Blues, Heart Station, Heart Station, Celebrate, Prisonner of Love, and Flavor of Life. It's a very good J-Pop Album! Hikki Forever!

Not as good as I hoped. Though the vocals in 'Beautiful World' and 'Kiss and Cry' were commendable, and I am rather pulled into the melody for track 13. The album is ok, but I certainly expected more...

Hikaru's great album HEARTSTATION's really good... My fave song's CELEBRATE, but the best is FLAVOR OF LIFE!!! All the cd's really enjoyable! Why didn't she release any CD+DVD version!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Heart Station is Hikaru's strongest album yet without trying to throw too much at the listener in one go like Ultra Blue, her previous album. It can be easy listening or something to really get into depending on your mood, and the new tracks such as "Take 5", "Prisoner of Love", and "Niji-iro Bassu" are amazing additions to the album. Heart Station's sound is a mix between Ultra Blue's strong synth and her R&B roots which makes for a great combination. Highly recommended.

This is such a good album. All the songs sound so good and all are created by Hikki herself! The songs that, in my opinion, stand out the most are "Prisoner of Love", "Stay Gold", "Take 5" and "Beautiful World". Well worth buying!

That's a very cool album ! There is also "boku wa Kuma" and both versions of "Flavor of life" in the tracklist !

This is the first Hikki album that I enjoyed listening to. I have heard her previous work, but none of it really stuck. The songs here are definitely more on the uplifting and sunny side (moodwise) than her previous album. Of course, the singles are good and there is a decent amount of variety overall. "Heart Station," "Stay Gold," and "Flavor of Life" are my favorites.

This is another amazing album from Hikki that showcases her ever evolving skills! Although most of the tracks are not as aggressive as some tracks in ULTRA BLUE the album builds a strong presence.

Heart Station is a wonderful album-- all of the tracks have a really beautiful feel to them. Boku wa Kuma seems like an odd inclusion, but it's a cute song, and helps lighten things up a bit. The CD booklet is nice as well, printed on glossy paper with good photos of Hikaru. If you're a Hikki fan, you should definitely pick this one up!

Great album but not better than Ultra blue. It has great songs and excellent lyrics but the problem is that half of them were already singles and 2 of them were the same song -_- But the rest of the song are incredible, thx Hikki ^_^

This is one of Utada Hikaru's best albums, but it felt more like a singles collection then an album. Maybe because nearly 2/3 of the CD tracks were released as singles makes it feel like that. I really liked how Utada got original with the songs. The transition into Celebrate from Gentle Beast caught me by surprise and Take5's beautiful lyrics and abrupt ending were nice. Niji-No Basu is an original song with a happy beat but depressing lyrics. Overall I'd recommend you get this album, but be careful. It really felt like a singles collection but get it for Take5 or Gentle Beast + Celebrate.

Really a diverse album. Some of the tracks on this album really make it relaxing to listen to. Heart Station, Stay Gold, Beautiful World are great. I'm glad Prisoner of Love became a recut single because it definitely has A-side potential. Catchy to listen to.

This is not an in-your-face album. It is a super laid-back album that will grow on you more and more. Utada is definitely one of my favorite artists, and I pretty much enjoy all of her albums (a couple were a little weak), but something about HEART STATION is very soothing and fresh. I have been playing this album non stop for the past 3 months and I am not the least bit sick of it. I used to be a downloader, but this album made me into a buyer! I can honestly say this is the first album I have ever fallen in love with!!

Plain and simple: This is an incredible album - I wasn't dissappointed with any one track and each sounded of the highest quality. The CD packaging is also nothing short of great: Ultra-glossy booklet with various pictures of Utada looking as good as she always does. This is a must buy!

At last, even with a more conceptualized string of tracks, Hikki's Heart Station has been another noteworthy production that is inexcusably the best J-pop album this year. Released two years after the lackluster Ultra Blue, Heart Station once again proves the superior musicality of Utada Hikaru,albeit the noticeable restraints in Hikki's voice may frustrate one's longing for her once crystal-clear voice.Nonetheless, her voice remains full of pathos and compassion and the music is undubitably more accesible than the last outing. The thing about it that totally trumps Ultra Blue is its replayability: each track evokes more emotion with every listen,particularly the gleaming and abrupt 'Teiku 5'.I must say Hikki is in one word 'gifted' and in many ways 'humane'.

It's a pity that it didn't come with a music video DVD. I'll be sure to buy it if it ever gets released. But the poster is great! So it soesn't matter if the DVD is sold in the future instead of coming included with the CD. After Ayu, Hikki is my second favourite JPOP singer of all time. My favourite tracks are "Heart Station" and "Stay Gold", and for "Flavour of Life" I prefer the ballad version but the normal version is also good. Summary: great Hikki CD, must get for every fan!

I hate to say it, but I was really disappointed with this album. I love Utada Hikaru. She is one of my favorite singers, but this album just wasn't up to par. Don't get me wrong, there are good tracks such as "Flavor of Life" and "Prisoner of Love." But, others like "Boku wa Kuma" just disappointed me. I recommend this album for Hikki fans and for people who like softer more mellow music. I really like more up-beat tracks.

She just keeps on Amazing me! If you have not heard Hikaru before this is the first track you should start off with,I mean the single collection vol.1 is the best,but this goes even better.She has always found a way to astonish the japanese crowd and now shes hitting the big world. The non singles are just if not more amazing than the singles.This is truly a piece of art that should be valued.

I luv Hiki so I'm going to like anything she does. I didn't think this album was as good as her Deep River album,which is my favorite from her, but this is still one of her best. Everything has a very sentimental feel to it and Hiki's vocals are lovely. It's a classic. Songs to look out for are Prisoner Of Love, Kiss Or Cry, Beutiful World, Stay Gold and Boku Wa Kuma. I'm also am grateful she put the upbeat version of Flavor of Life, which I like better than the ballad version, on here as a bonus track. GET THIS! You won't regret it.

I'm a HUGE fan of Hikki, so I'm probably really biased, but I think that this is her best album yet. All the tracks have been written and arranged by Utada herself, as are all of her OTHER songs. The flow of this album is spectacular. It's really fun to listen to because everything comes together so well. The single tracks are kind of all together at the beginning, but that doesn't detract from anything. I was also one of the lucky ones that got a poster with my copy of the CD. It's great quality--Hikki-chan looks just gorgeous! You can definitely see she's matured since her earlier days. I love every single song on this album. No joke. "TEIKU 5," despite the sudden ending, just blows me away every time I hear it, and "Nijiiro BASU" is a lot of fun to bounce around to.
