Lately the posters below have been appearing in trains on my local line, featuring Hikaru Utada looking gorgeous in a black dress accompanied by a picture of a Pepsi NEX bottle with the text 「やっぱり、これが好き」(After all, this is what I like).


It seems that Hikaru is starring in a new Pepsi ad campaign...

I've been a very casual JPop fan for a few years now, enjoying the catchy tunes, and also getting some much needed listening practice for my Japanese studies. However, recently my girlfriend lent me a bunch of CDs from one of her favorite artists, Hikaru Utada.

It might seem strange but I had never heard of Hikaru before even though 3 of her albums are actually in the top 10 best ever selling albums in Japan. This includes her first Japanese album "First Love" at the number...
