“Bad Mode” by Utada Hikaru, an album review

BY CHANDRA BAVIERA

Music that comes from the heart can be seen in different languages. The imagery projects the inspirational soul. Whether the velocity of sound in physics gets your body up and running, or swift movement causes your body to have blood flow up, you’d MOVE. Beats of drums under the sound of audio, so MUSIC has definitely answered the question.  This famous singing sensation, Utada Hikaru, sang a unique and incredible voice. From her typical heartbreak pop beat “First Love” to now upbeat “One Last Kiss,” her album titled ‘Bad Mode’ is more than just the eighth Japanese-language studio album. The Japanese lyrics translate into English to,

"I don't like being photographed

That's okay

For you have already imprinted in

The projector in my heart

I was pretending I don't miss you

Well, I guess that makes the two of us

Yearning for someone

Came hand in hand with heartache” 

This Japanese American pop star made the world bop their heads and even dance in the latest generation of SONY and APPLE headphones. However, these specific song lyrics connect to unwrapping truthful emotions. The song starts really fast; the English lyrics “One Last Kiss” which are sung in the song, smoothly come packaged in a full heartbeat, sounding lovely with inner heartbreak in every stanza. The music has tempos of adagio, and allegretto. It can be hard to sing the song if there is no proper training. With these beats, soft, slow, and growing to be fast, in a variety of notes, The important thing to remember in this song is that the storyline grows through the message. Singing in two languages is not just a gift but a talent. Give the album ‘Bad Mode’ a listen for an amazing and marvelous experience of refreshing young love.
