Talking Passion or Sanctuary?

Hehe, we all love Utada Hikaru's songs. But which one do you choose out of the following?

Sanctuary

or

Passion?

I myself I chose Sanctuary because it seems as if she put more effort into it than she did in Passion. Also, I like it because it has that little part where she says "My heart's a battleground" and passion didn't have that little beat changer in it. So yeah, open poll!!! ^^'

Hikki wrote "Sanctuary" before "Passion" and she said that it was harder to write in Japanese.

Passion for sure.

I like the lyrics much better. I do like the "My heart's a battleground" part too, but "Santuary" sounds so annoying, like if she just randomly put words into it
I feel that the lyrics to the english version are.. too bland =/

Passion is better by leaps and bounds. The English words in Sanctuary, in my opinion, do not flow at all. When she sings "There's a new la-A-aaaaaAAAAAAAnnd", I just want to cry because it sounds so poor.

Passion. Although I like Sanctuary too, because of the differences. Passion is better though...the ending!

Sanctuary. I like Passion but I find nothing wrong with Sanctuary and I love the way she fits the words in the song. I think it's beautiful and it makes sense. Alot more sense than Simple and Clean IMHO. That, and I'm like one of the 3 people who like it XD;

That part is actually in both songs ^^;. I'm watching an old preview video for KH2 and it's the same, just in Japanese. I'll assume the whole "My heart's a battleground" is part of the game mix and isn't on the album version. But since there is no album version of Sanctuary it still has that part ^^.

Sanctuary for me. For some reason I just like it better when Utada Hikaru sings in English xD
