桜流し is devastating, which perfectly captures the sensation of having finished Evangelion 3.0. it's a beautiful song but a heavy one to listen to.

Totally agree! It's heavy to listen to and that's partially what makes it so good for me.

another exceptional homemade production from Miss Utada

man, imagine casually strolling through a London park in the middle of national lockdown and running into her and a friend in the middle of lip-syncing to the song

Ugh, this song is magical. It starts out so simple, but the way it builds itself and releases by the end is just stellar. She has not missed a beat with these songs.

This made my day. I was so worried that none of her post-Hatsukoi singles excited me at all, so when I heard the teaser on Dec 24, it got me really excited.

The full song doesn't disappoint me, and in fact gives me quite a few surprises. This will definitely be my gem hikki song in this era. While hikki is bad at lipsyncing (lol), the scenery in the mv is great. Thanks Hikki, her small team, and Anno to make this beautiful video!

I'm blown away by both One Last Kiss and the new version of Beautiful World on the single (the Da Capo one). What a gorgeous pair of songs The music video was just the perfect set of visuals to go with this era as well. She never disappoints!

She provided new vocals to the Da Capo one, it isn't just a remix. Really loved that version. One Last Kiss uses some dancehall elements, which was trending a few years ago. I thought it was a bit strange at first, but then I remember this final installment of Evangelion would be released years ago, so maybe this song was ready to be released for a while too.

What a great track! She has been on a roll with her latest singles. We should be getting close to another album then, right? I sure hope so!

New song is great. Like the way it builds, 3:33 onwards is particularly special.

It definitely gets stuck in your head!

I also like the De Capo version of beautiful world. The original is one of my favorite hikki songs ever and I’m grateful to have a variety of versions. Although I realize now we have a 2018 AND 2021 remaster.

seriously i'm really excited for her next album...
the way she plays with song structures and experimental soundscapes (but still make it accessible) lately really doing something for me. also she knows how to create a mood with her voice.

with PINK BLOOD being her fifth single we can expect the album around august/september at the latest i guess

btw during summer they will release an international version of the OLK vinyl with the character Asuka on the cover...
http://www.utadahikaru.jp/en/music/album/title_20.html
my theory is that it will come out with the international release of the Evangelion 3.0+1.0 movie (there are rumours it will be available on amazon prime)

also One Last Kiss was co-produced by A.G. Cook who is known for his hyperpop productions on Charli XCX and SOPHIE. god i love this woman

It's #2 on the albums chart today with 29,747 copies sold — for some reason I kept thinking this was a single until I double checked that it's classified officially as an EP lol (although I wish they would re-tag the album as such on Spotify so it wouldn't be grouped with all her studio albums...)

One Last Kiss is a good song, kinda of chill but so good. The MV is beautifully aesthetic, looks like we're in a walking simulator with Utada herself.
