Hikaru Utada




     Whether you know it or not, Hikaru Utada has been the voice that helped raised an entire generation of video game fans.

     The Japanese-American singer-songwriter and producer's most notable work comes from the video game franchise  "Kingdom Hearts." Utada has written and performed four original songs throughout the series, making the artist synonymous with the video game. A "Kingdom Hearts" game is not complete until Utada has a song.

     Utada has found fame outside of "Kingdom Hearts," becoming one of the best-selling artist in Japan for her original work. Unfortunately in America she would only be known for her work on the video game franchise.

     Regardless of how known Utada is beyond video game fans, there is no denying all the feels her music makes us experience.

From "Kingdom Hearts II" 
Song: "Sanctuary"
