Item description
Utada Hikaru's [Credited as "Utada"] 3rd English Language Album.
Vinnk's Take: I've never hidden that I prefer Utada Hikaru's Japanese albums to her English ones, but of the English albums this is my favorite. It's a big step up from Cubic U and Exodus. Not every track lands but her take on the Ryuichi Sakamoto Classic "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence " is a standout and "Come Back to Me" is a legit great song. It's a good album if you like J-pop but also like understanding the lyrics. Worth a buy.

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.
