Exactly. Dareka only had 1 track and the instrumental and sold better. So I don't think the 1 track thing is the major factor here. I like Be My Last (but I only really liked it after I saw the PV.) I just think Utada's popularity has suffered quite a bit. I mean what do you expect when you rarely ever tour or promote your singles, much less make many public appearances - I don't think it's very respectful of your fans and I've thought for the last few years now that Hikki could be doing a lot more instead of seemingly doing the minimum amount necassary to maintain her popularity. Just my observation.
Also, keep in mind that Be My Last is cheaper than the other singles out there. So it's not like people are paying 1,800 yen for 1 song. It's being sold for under 1,000 yen if I understand correctly.
