I love Michi. :heart I wasn't sure what to expect either, but it's so classic Utada.

I think I heard "not alone not alone not alone" at the near end...

^ Yeah its part or is the chorus. She sings this twice at the end:
Its a lonely... (x4)
Road
But I'm not alone
Not alone... (x4)
そんな気分 (what I hear)

Lyrics from U.Blog:
Romaji
Spoiler:
Kuroi nami no mukou ni asa no kehai ga suru
Kienai hoshi ga watashi no mune ni kagayakidasu
Kanashii uta mo itsuka natsukashii uta ni naru
Mienai kizu ga watashi no tamashii irodoru
Watashi no kokoro no naka ni anata ga iru
Itsuika naru toki mo hitori de aruitatsumori no michi
Demo hajimari wa anata datta
It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
Sonna kibunn
Choushi ni notteta jiki mo aruto omoimasu
Hito ha mina ikiterunnjanaku ikasareteru
Me ni mieru mono dake wo shinjite ha ikenaiyo
Jinsei no kiro ni tatsu hyoushiki ha aryasennu
Donna koto wo shite dareto itemo kono mi ha anata to tomoniaru
Hitoride ayumanareba naranu michi
Demo anata no koe ga kikoeru
It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely
You are every song, every song, every song, every song, every song
Kore ha jijitsu
Watashi no kokoro no naka ni anata ga iru
Itsuika naru toki mo doko he tsuzuku ka mada wakaranu michi
Demo kitto soko ni anata ga iru
It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
Sonna kibunn
It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely, It’s Lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
Sonna kibunn
English Translation
Spoiler:
Across the black waves, I begin to feel a hint of the morning
An undying star begins to shine in my heart
Even sad songs will turn into nostalgic songs one day
An invisible scar colors my soul
Even when I stumble, I get up
When I get lost, I stand still, and ask:
If it was you, what would you do?
You are inside my heart
I always walked this road thinking it was on my own,
But the beginning was actually you.
It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
That’s my mood
There was probably a time when I would get carried away
We people aren’t just alive, but rather are allowed to live
You can’t believe only the things that are in front of your eyes
There’s no such thing as a sign at the crossroads of life
No matter what I do or who I’m with, my body will be right next to you
This road I must walk alone, but I can hear your voice
It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely
You are every song, every song, every song, every song, every song
This is reality
You are inside my heart
I still don’t know where this road leads
But I bet you’re there
It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
That’s my mood
It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely, It’s lonely
But I’m not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone, Not alone
That’s my mood

Yeah I only see the radio version too. It's the exact same rip.

I instantly liked Michi from the radio clip! Hanataba had to really grow on me, and Manatsu took a few listens. Now that I like all songs I feel like this album is going to be amazing! Can't wait for Ningyo!!!

Although Michi is upbeat, the lyrics are bittersweet (though I feel like they're more on the sad part). I love the song nonetheless, i just kinda don't like how the intro sounds. Hikki should've used a different instrument or added some reverb or texture IMO lol. But the song slays

I kinda agree about the beginning, but I think she wanted it to sound more raw?
The way she sings, "Koronndemo okiagaru mayottara tachidomaru soshite tou anata nara konnatoki dousuru" in the beginning reminds me of the way MINMI sings! :O I love the part where she says "road" after "It's a Lonely, It's a lonely, It's a lonely" It's so catchy! *_* I have had the song on repeat for the last couple of hours. XD The lyrics are so beautiful, and this album is going to be amazeballs!

Hmm, though I'm not a fan of Hikaru Utad I'm glad for her fans that she comes back. I'm also really interested about how she sings live today. The only thing I don't like is how her cover looks. :/ Imo the font looks very cheap like just made with the mobile...

I tried to rip it from Tudou, ended up recording the PC audio.
How did you do that?

I think most of her upbeat songs are always like that? There's always a subtle sadness in her cheery songs
