Utada Hikaru released this album in 2024, with 26 songs and three original tracks, "Gold (Mata au Hi Made)", "Naniiro Demo Nai Hana", and "Electricity". Utada always gives me feelings of nostalgia. The first song I heard from her was during the credits of the anime Evangelion - she sang this version of "Fly Me To The Moon" that just grabbed your attention and made you feel a sense of magic or wonder. Little did I know that she was about to become very popular and mainstream even here in Canada.

Again and again I would be so enamored with Utada’s music. I don’t even like Kingdom Hearts as a game but the music she brings is still so magical. Her songs for KH are full of themes of simple pure love, facing your fears and being true to yourself in a “kingdom of thieves.” Her stuff is also obviously jpop and with that quivering female voice she brings, it’s hard to resist.
