she sounds really nervous. not surprising, i think, considering aaliyah was her senior. she even told her she started singing at 15 like aaliyah. i think showing respect in japanese culture is a bit difficult when speaking english.
@@jimmytang5673 Utada isn't a Japanese native, though. She was born and raised in New York, and moved t Japan when she decided to pursue her music career. She was nervous because she admired Aaliyah. She stated this in an interview shortly after Aaliyah's passing.
tears...... it's so cool Hikaru Utada got to interview her, maybe they could have worked together if she had lived longer we love you and miss you Aaliyah!!!!
I don’t know why this interview makes me so happy. I guess it’s because my two favorite singers met, talked, took pictures and all. And it’s like Kingdom Hearts mixed with Aaliyah, so it does something to me.
@@Universal035 No where in my comment compared the two together. I merely stated how it’s like the game and the person have some form of connection because of them meeting prior to anything. Like??
Hikaru Utada was born in New York. I don't know which part. Glad she had the pleasure of talking and meeting Aaliyah. It's been 14 years today that Aaliyah died in a plane crash with seven other people.
This is iconic on so many levels... Never thought these two met in life and Utada is a really good interviewer... On top on that, the late Ronny Jordan is playing in the back... This is emotional, thanks for sharing this.
Utada sounds like a black girl when she talks. It's cute how she seems nervous and excited. Aaliyah was so down to earth. They're talking like actual people, though it's an interview. Wish Aaliyah was still here. And I hope Utada does more music for KH.
Aaliyah fans, check out Utada Hikaru music, she's a big deal over there. My favorites are Simple and Clean and Sanctuary. Same for Utada Hikaru, check out Aaliyah's music, fave EVERYTHING, lol. Love 'em both.
At the end, I heard it as Utada hinting at collabing with Aliyah and then aliyah saying sure we have to do that. And the Utada being like..."mmmmmm can you- can you ask them for me?" LOL
So could i just thinking bout it. :) Imagine Princess Aaliyah in Her Queen Akasha Cosplay. Fire and Flare Abilities/Magic. HP Drain on her targets as she attacks. Magnega Spell to attract Aaliyahs targets either to her or in place. Teleportation and Glide also coming in handy. :) Hell yeah
PokeEdStarZ here- 6 years later and I’m still amazed by this interview. Again, Aaliyah with Utada, basically meets Kingdom Hearts. My heart is filled with so many emotions. Like…KH and Aaliyah!!! Omg and KHIII just came out, too. This just...wow.
Holy shit! Two of my favorite singers ever talking together! I didn't freaking know this existed, this is a mindfuck!
I know, huh?
The same... 10 years after you
You could tell Utada was a little nervous. It's cute.

Jimmy Tang but her English is good.
@@devinscott2466
Thats so insulting.
She's an American.
Aaliyahs & the queen of Kingdom Hearts. I LIVE
tears...... it's so cool Hikaru Utada got to interview her, maybe they could have worked together if she had lived longer we love you and miss you Aaliyah!!!!
It sounds like two friends talking. awesome interview
Taylor Downing “...Yeah , i just saw YOUR movie yesterday...” yeah,two casual friends
@@sikerslalatm3147 what
Both of these women are amazing.
It's so cool that they got to meet each other. Aaliyah forever. :)
You could tell by the questions she was asking that she actually was a huge fan, who knew all about her. Aaliyah was fully engaged. Great interview
Gosh Utada Hikaru is just so huge in Japan and Asia and she too was a fan of the late Aaliyah. This is cute.
Awe Utada was nervous. I wouldn't blame her. I would be too if I was interviewing my favorite artist.
I don’t know why this interview makes me so happy. I guess it’s because my two favorite singers met, talked, took pictures and all. And it’s like Kingdom Hearts mixed with Aaliyah, so it does something to me.
You're gonna compare a video game to a real life angel?

Manhattan (don't know if I spelled that correctly.)

Definitely two of my favorite female artists from my child and teenage-hood right here. Choppin it up! Forever in my heart
This is a gem!
Aaliyah was so fly. She was ahead of her time. It's pretty dope to know Hikaru Utada interviewed her decades ago. RIP Baby girl.
Aaliyah meets Kingdom Hearts. I'm obsessed with both.
2 Capricorn GOATS! Love them. Long live Aaliyah & Utada 444ever 💫

KeesusChrist omg stfu
she doesn't talk like a black girl that's a typical nyc accent. she grew up and did school in nyc
no the hell she doesn’t.
Good thing Hikaru-san had a chance to interview Aaliyah as the latter died in plane crash on August 25, 2001.
RIP Aaliyah Haughton
(1979-2001)
Many ppl say oh this video is rare, but this... is RARE!!!!
I wish they would’ve made a song together. Love this interview ❤️
Aaliyah fans, check out Utada Hikaru music, she's a big deal over there. My favorites are Simple and Clean and Sanctuary. Same for Utada Hikaru, check out Aaliyah's music, fave EVERYTHING, lol. Love 'em both.
both are Capricorns too. I would've never know they interviewed I was just up thinking about her Kingdom hearts song lol.

OH ----MY----- GOD!!!! Thanks for uploading!
I love them both...
Can you imagine Utada was only 17 when this happened!? She was only 4 years younger than Aaliyah!!!
At the end, I heard it as Utada hinting at collabing with Aliyah and then aliyah saying sure we have to do that. And the Utada being like..."mmmmmm can you- can you ask them for me?"
LOL
RARE!
Thanks so much!
I love hearing her voice
Two legends together.
Holy shit, I never knew this happened! Two of my favorite artists ever.

I wonder if there's footage
Thinking of Aaliyah with Kingdom Hearts ... I'm gonna cry.
I could kinda see aaliyah being involved with kingdom hearts in some way
So could i just thinking bout it. :) Imagine Princess Aaliyah in Her Queen Akasha Cosplay. Fire and Flare Abilities/Magic. HP Drain on her targets as she attacks. Magnega Spell to attract Aaliyahs targets either to her or in place. Teleportation and Glide also coming in handy. :) Hell yeah
Vaquero 48 omg 😲😫😫😫😫 I can see it!

Guess I'm the only one who never heard of Utada
itswhat3v3r no you're not
Lilith she is so much more than Kingdom Hearts
💗💗💗💗💗💗
Is there a version without the background music I can watch?
I don't think she was the biggest fan of darkchild
アーリア。亡くなっちゃたみたい。2人話しした事あるんだ。
Damn Rodney 🤣
Wtff??🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭💞💞💞

Aaliyah passed in '01, this is a year before.

Japanese...
Utada Hikaru? wow, I thought she was her age!
i loveeeee this interview! the way they talk to each other like it’s not a interview. i loveeeee it omg. Aaliyah was truly beautiful, your missed 😔
