Item description
Utada Hikaru's 6th full length Japanese album.
Vinnk's Take: Don't call it a comeback. But that's what it was called at the time. Her first new album in 7 years. It had a lot to live up to. Sales wise it might not have, but as an artistic work it is one of her most personal and powerful. Deeper themes of grief, sadness and death are mixed in with the usual love themes. It reflects where she was in the midst of personal tragedies. But the record is not a bummer and it's quite beautiful. A highlight for me is "Nijikan Dake no Vacance" where she collaborated with one of my other favorite singers Sheena Ringo. If you like Utada, give this album a try.
