Item description
Utada Hikaru's 3rd full length album (4th if you count Cubic U)
Vinnk's Take: This album came out after I left Japan (the first time) but several of the singles on it were released in 2001 while I was studying abroad. I bought each as they came out. It is impossible to choose a best track on this album, so many are fantastic. "Traveling" is a fantastic up-tempo track I used for exercising. "Final Distance" (see linked video) is one of my favorite Ballads ever. "Sakura Drops" is an aural masterpiece. But of course the most well known track on this collection to western audiences would be "Hikari" the original Japanese version of "Simple and Clean" that would become the Kingdom Heart theme song. GREAT album.

This CD has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual CD I am selling. Audio CDs from Japan have no region coding so they will play in any standard player.
CDs will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, I ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
As always, if you have any questions about this or any item on the store, you can contact me on:
