Utada Hikaru - First Love (Cover) by Tiana Xiao

Hi guys, finally I have another cover out! Yay! Hope y’all like it! This is one of my fave J-pop songs ever. I also weaved in clips of my trip to Europe last fall, hoping these scenes could trigger some sort of emotion regarding your “first love.”

A lot of the clips were filmed on the campus of my hubby’s alma mater (which, actually, a lot of buildings/nature look a ton like Cornell’s). “On campus” is where a lot of people’s “first love” happens (though for some it may have started earlier, such as high school, or middle school), so I thought it was rather fitting for the song.

If you watch ’til the end, there is a surprise! (Or almost the end, before my spiel)

Mic used in the recording:
Neumann U67: amzn.to/38y15YW

Other equipment shown or used in/for video:
