Music Video
The music video (directed by Kazuaki Kiriya) for "Hikari" is a simple one. Utada washes dishes, and enjoys a glass of water through its course. Utada, in an interview, explains how she enjoys washing dishes at home as well, which contributed to her making this music video.
- "Actually we were to shoot the PV of 'Hikari' with him (Kazuaki Kiriya) but it didn't come true due to his scheduling conflicts at the last moment and that's why we requested Kiriya urgently to shoot that dish-washing video." --Hikaru Utada
(They were able to reach Kazuaki Kiriya eventually, but they had no time to shoot a complex video.)
