I just read this on Wikipedia so I don't know how much regard to hold this in but this quote is concerning "Goodbye Happiness":

"The song features background vocals by four women recorded in London in August 2010, described in the documentary Hikaru Utada: Ima no Watashi, as Celtic.[3] Utada chose this singing style for its nostalgic, dream-like qualities.[3] This is the first instance of background vocals in a Hikaru Utada song not being performed by her."

If that's true, it's very interesting. I really thought it was her voice reverbing. Sounds like her anyways.

Oh yeah........sorry.....but.......ANOTHER VIDEO~!

This is Utada during an Interview to promote her "Singles Collection Vol. 2" on TOKIO HOT 100. She speaks in English and Sings a bit starting at 6:15. I've only gotten up to the 8 minute mark so I don't know any other special points to point out at this point. (3 Points)

EDIT: I see they've disabled embedding. Silly.

EDIT: I've found another video at Youtube. I'll put this up and keep the other one up as well in case you still want to see that one. They have different time lengths. I think the first one I posted is the 2nd half of the interview, since this one below shows her walking in.

EDIT: Just tried to play this video........EFF YOU YOUTUBE.
