Encyclopedia : H : HI : HIK : Hikari (song)
is Utada Hikaru's 11th single, also the 3rd single on the Deep River album. Its release date was March 20, 2002. It is the main theme song for the Japanese release of the Squaresoft (now Square Enix) and Disney Interactive video game Kingdom Hearts. It hit #1 on Oricon charts and sold 598,000 copies."Hikari"'s English version was Simple And Clean. Even though it shares a generally similar melody and background music, the meaning of the lyrics are entirely different. "Hikari" should not be confused with "Simple And Clean". It is important to note that this single gave Utada a lot of exposure worldwide because it was used for the top-seller game Kingdom Hearts, and many foreign fans claim that this was their first Japanese song heard.
