♪ Hikaru Utada’s theme for Evangelion 2.0

With Evangelion 2.0 comes another theme song from my future wife and the mother of my un-born child Hikaru Utada. Her song “Beautiful world” (which also featured on her 5th Japanese studio album Heart station) was the main theme to Rebuild of Evangelion’s first film Evangelion 1.0: You are (not) alone. And a remix of same song features as the theme to the second film Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance. I’m usually weary of remixes. When I think remixes I tend to think really bad dance music and over echoed vocals. But this right here is pretty awesome. The song is remixed by PLANiTb: who also remixed Hikaru’s theme song “Simple & clean” for Kingdom Hearts.

Now THAT is what you call a remix! I love how how the tone of the original version was just completely flipped with the new instrumentations. It would’ve been nice to have had Hikaru record all new vocals. But I’m such a stan that this’ll do for me.
I do hope for Evangelion 3.0 that we get a new song though and that we don’t keep getting remixes of “Beautiful world”. I love the song, but 4 to 5 different remixes of it is a bit much. Shit, who am I kidding. I’d lap ‘em all up and love ‘em regardless. Because I stan for Hikaru like that.
Damn I love this woman…

I’m in love with it <3
Are you kidding me? Just listen to the original ED to Evangelion.
meh. I doubt another Eva-related song will take the throne of “Vanter Usser”
I like the song simply because I think its a hot song and I stan for Hikaru Utada. I couldn’t care less if the song was a theme for an Evangelion film, Toilet paper or Lotte gum to be honest.
The song being tied to an Evangelion film just gives me a reason to post it here. *lol*
Lovely remix. I think an orchestral rearrange should be given a try at this rate.
Now THERE’S an idea! Maybe they’ll do it for ‘Evangelion 3.0′ or ‘Evangelion Final’.
Just wondering if you’ve ever listened to Shiina Ringo, she knowcked Utada off the top of my list when I found her.

Start with album ‘Karuki Zaamen Kuri no Hana’, I’ll let you work out the translation. Get ready for some crazy instrumentation.
Yeah, I’ve heard of Shiina Ringo, and have listened to some of her stuff. I like her! I think she’s really cool!! I admire her artistry, her talent and that she’s just original and in her own lane. The J-music scene is saturated with the same ol’ same ol’ right now (particularly where the J-ladies are concerned), and has been for God knows how long. I’ve always liked how Shiina goes against the grain of it all.
I just recently started getting into jpop/rock again (it’s been YEARS since i listened to anything new), and i’ve been catching up with all the bands i used to love. I was never a ’super’ fan of Utada, but i do love some random tunes, and i’ll admit… this song is FANTASTIC! Now to find a nice little download of this remix n_n
