There won't be. Square already released their planning for the fiscal year os 2017 (up to march, 31 2017) and KH 3 is not listed. So the game will be out april onwards

[freedreamer]

yassssssssssss!!!! she's finally coming back

[Maemi]

I hope the cover will actually contain her

[bluegie]

I totally forgot about KH3. What about the new eva movie? Do you think the theme song will be in the new album?

[JackieRos]

I don't mind her head shots, that's her style and she looks amazing.

I'm so excited for new music, I wonder how many people are going to
act like they did with Hanataba and Manatsu.

[hayasaki]

Yassss! Although its a bit late i'd think of this as a birthday gift lol. I hope Hikki will announce a tour. The last time she had one, I was still a student and really have no money to attend. For once, i'd want to see her live too.

[bluegie]

DEEP RIVER's head shot was the best .

How many of you have preordered the album already?

[Maemi]

Hikaru Utada brings a full-length album for the first time in eight years! This is her sixth album and includes "Hanataba wo Kimi ni (theme song of TV drama "Toto Neechan")," "Manatsu no Toriame," "Sakura Nagashi (theme song of "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo")," and more.

So we already know three songs. Hopefully there won't be (too many) interludes.

Knowing hikki, I think the max interlude we'll see is one. I hope it'll be something like Bridge .

[ayu_ready?]

MY BODY ISN'T READY OMG

[PURIN]

YASSSSS finally!!!! super super excited

[pheonixflame15]

In the Flesh Live is now up on iTunes US, Canada and Mexico!

I love Hikki's albums because she doesn't use interludes that much. It's only a good thing because it means there's more room for full awesome songs. Not that her interludes suck tho. I think they've always been amazing. I can't even choose my favorite lol. xD

[thinkingoutloud89]

^no thats still not true. There is room or about 17 songs on an album. Having a interlude or not does not make a full song appear out of nowhere. People gotta stop that dumb thinking.

I agree that it's illogical to think otherwise. My problem with some artist's interludes is that it takes away from the flow of the album as opposed to actually helping the album be fluid. I don't think Utada has this problem at all though.
