Japanese Singer Yuki Utada Hikaru has gone to pick up the garbage again!
The result was a toy car, and she had even picked up the toilet before.
She clearly has "Japan's most valuable voice": her voice is worth 1 billion, but she likes to pick up garbage and take pictures and send them to Instagram.
This is not the first time.
The seemingly ridiculous special habit has lasted for 10 years, and the cause is because of the little yellow dish.
In 2010, Hikaru Utada walked the streets of Tokyo in search of inspiration for the lyrics and picked up this indescribable thing.
She developed a series of associations in her mind:
Why would the average person go out with such a DVD?
What happens when you accidentally fall to the ground after taking it out?
Or is someone deliberately putting it on the ground trying to convey some message?
From then on, she will use her imagination to construct their stories for each drop!
Seeing the Band-Aid on the ground, saying that it was like the ground was injured, he found the wings and took a picture of himself on his back.
I also picked up old toilets, wheel hubs, potatoes, pizza leftovers from others, thousand paper cranes, erasers, playing cards, springs....
Hikari Utada's love of picking up garbage on the side of the road has a lot to do with her extraordinary acting career.
These roadside objects are like standing in the wrong position, so they have a great resonance.
It has been more than 20 years since her debut, and she always has the feeling that she does not belong to the stage.
When she started the concert, she saw the people sitting in the audience and thought:
Why do so many people come to see me?
What exactly am I doing here?
Some people say that Hikaru Utada's success is a "Japanese music bug", and she feels that she is in a place where it should not have appeared, just like these drops.
When the 10 million-selling First Love came out, Hikaru Utada was only 16 years old.
As soon as she debuted, she stood at the peak of Asian album sales and became one of the "Three Singers of Heisei", known as a myth in Japan.
However, the success of fame at a young age made her feel that life had a very unreal impact.
Except for being protected to make music, she has no chance to grow up independently, and she always carries the aura of the second generation of stars.
Hikaru Utada's innate creative talent comes from terumi Utada, the music producer's father, and Keiko Fuji, an actress and singer mother.
Fuji Keiko once swept Japan with her mournful performances, but she was an extremely emotionally unstable woman.
In 1983, Keiko Fuji gave birth to Hikaru Utada, but was unable to give her daughter a peaceful childhood.
The mother and father had 7 divorces and remarriages, the shortest of which was 2 weeks after the divorce and then reunited.
Often waking up, Hikaru Utada would be asked to leave New York or Tokyo with his mother, or even say goodbye to friends.
It wasn't until 2007 that the parents formally divorced.
A child who cannot understand the emotional entanglements between adults, and the unstable family relationship brings her the sensitivity of genius, and more indigestible confusion.
After becoming an adult, even if she is famous, she still has no sense of control over life, and in her early 20s, she said the prophecy of her life:
The ever-changing life is the meaning of my existence, and it will be the same in the future.
After 10 years in the music scene, Hikaru Utada began to realize that his self had become more and more lost.
She didn't know herself at all, was indifferent to the people around her, and lived a miserable and lonely life.
She needs to concentrate on the activities she should do as a "person" and learn to be an ordinary person.
In 2011, she suspended her music career.
Picking up garbage on the side of the road, taking photos and putting it back in is a hobby that began at this moment.
For 10 years, it became one of her ways of life of self-redemption as an ordinary person:
See the objects that have been left behind, think about why they are here, and appreciate their cuteness.
Those cute objects that have been left behind, just like herself: when she was young, she could not be placed by a changeable family, and when she grew up, she was lost in the fast-paced life of the music world.
Hikaru Utada pressed the pause button in his life, to perceive things that no one else was aware of, to meet his lost self, and to feel the true kindness that he had been missing for a long time.
In his early years, Hikari Utada experienced the scenery and pain of adults with intensity and speed beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, although her style is changeable and difficult to define, it all carries a sad background.
At the age of 19, she married the 15-year-old photographer Lightning, and after four and a half years, the marriage that shocked the music world ended.
In 2013, her depressed mother, Keiko Fuji, fell to her death, which also brought her a big blow.
As a teenager, Hikaru Utada liked her mother the most, and once shared her heart with her mother, and when she talked about her mother, she was always full of affection and wanted to talk and stop:
Although there have been many unpleasant memories in the past, when I think of my mother, I still have the smile of the other party in my heart, and I am proud to be the daughter of my mother.
After her mother's death, she thought, "Maybe I won't be able to make music anymore."
She decides to set out for Europe in search of a psychic station, and coincidentally meets the Italian bartender Cariano.
In February 2014, Hikaru Utada spent $5 million on a wedding and settled in London, despite the huge gap in identity.
At the wedding, she said to her mother in heaven, "Mother, I am very happy."
After more than a year of marriage, Hikaru Utada gave birth to a son and became a mother, and she became more powerful and confident.
My mother died, I became a mother myself, and overnight, I had to grow up.
Although no one will teach me how to move forward, I believe that there is no one in front of me, so I hold this determination, desperately move forward, and then move forward, and from this experience, I have gained the confidence that I have had.
She was asked which one career and relationship would be prioritized.
It's like sleeping and eating to survive, she said, not choosing one over the other.
After her bartender husband got married, he quit his job and did nothing all day, which made Utada Mitsuru unhappy, and the two eventually divorced.
Now that she lives in London with her son, she has found the joy of ordinary people's focused lives.
She has shared her son's life many times:
The fart of the 5-month-old son stinks!
happy New Year! The first song sung this year is a nursery rhyme
Lately I was shocked that I was completely accustomed to the fact that I could squirt milk from my milk
But she still hasn't changed her habit of picking up garbage and taking pictures, and every time she finds it on the side of the road, she is a person who examines and loves life as "Utada Hikaru".
It turns out that after experiencing the ups and downs of a mother's death, remarriage, and childbirth, a person can still continue to go on the road with real hope and regain enthusiasm.
Music is all about finding the truth. What is true? For me, it's about moving on with hope.
After experiencing the peak, no longer paying attention to the market and crowds, not constrained by the environment, flexible and powerful, she learned to create at will.
In 2016, the new album "Fantôme", which returned to the music scene, lost the melancholy of youth and became brighter, including two songs written for his mother.
Her voice is clearly sad and fragile, feeling that it will collapse at any time, but it can bring the power of stability, and it has a unique beauty.
A while ago, Hikaru Utada opened a live broadcast, and netizens asked her "Why is it so painful to break up?"
Her answer seemed to regain its strength:
When a relationship ends or you lose someone, it may be because the pain is there.
Maybe that relationship is like a painkiller, freeing you from pain, but when you lose this dependence, you will feel the pain again.

Along the way, through the aura and turmoil of the original family, the honor and loss of debut is the peak, behind the brilliance of Utada Mitsushun, there are also physical and inner hardships.
So she made up her mind to suspend her music career and find a seemingly ordinary but healing way of life.
Just as when she was 20 years old, she had an ovarian tumor, hormone therapy turned her into a fat aunt, and it took a long time to recover.
After devoting herself to her own daily life, she is picking up leftovers and taking pictures, while carrying good or sad memories, and bravely moving forward on the road of life.
The 36-year-old was diagnosed with a rare disease "overkinesia", but she said in a mocking tone: "Ah, this is not a disease or anything, but the joints are softer than ordinary people."
37-year-old Hikaru Utada, divorced twice, still believes that falling in love is a very beautiful thing.
Still humble in the face of music, concentrate on creating and reconciling with yourself, like experiencing a series of hot love and separation, baptism after a heavy rain, joy and sadness are put into the work.
I could indeed lean on my throne and take the easy path, but I think that way my creativity and character would decline. I don't want to just be a crazy artist living in the paradise, I want to be connected to the real world and maintain humble conduct.
We have all suffered, this time please learn to love yourself first, and then you can define and protect your original self in the ups and downs and changeable life!
