Can't wait! For those who missed it perhaps:

In January 2016, it was revealed that Utada would release a new song in the spring. The new song, titled "Hanataba wo Kimi ni"("Bouquet for You") will be a TV show (titled 'Toto Nee-Chan' (とと姉ちゃん?)) theme tune, which will begin airing on April 4, 2016. Details regarding an official release date for the song, or its composition have yet to be released. Later in February 2016, Utada announced another new song, also to be aired on April 4, 2016, to be the theme to a late-night TV station's news show, "NEWS ZERO".

Utada's website was also updated, with the announcement of a project titled "New-Turn", in which fans are encouraged to purchase Utada's music and to use the hashtag "#おかえりHIKKI" ("Welcome Back Hikki") on Twitter. The aim is to use proceeds from the music purchased to plant more cherry blossom trees in the tsunami-damaged areas of Japan after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake. The website also confirms Utada's return to artistic activities, fronted by the Twitter campaign.

[2016/03/10] NEW-TURN Project launches to celebrate Utada Hikaru's comeback as an artist!
This project brings together Utada Hikaru’s record label, fans, and others who have long waited for Utada’s return, in order to celebrate her comeback as an artist.
By tweeting using the hashtag “#おかえりHIKKI”, or purchasing or downloading Utada products, the flowers of the sakura (cherry blossom) trees on the project’s website will gradually bloom. Through this project, the record label and fans will give momentum leading up to Utada’s return, with the goal of having the flowers in full bloom by April 4. We look forward to your cooperation.

A portion of the proceeds from this project will be donated to the NPO Sakura Namiki Network to deliver sakura trees to the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
DAIICHIKOSHO CO., LTD., the video streaming service GYAO!, and USEN CORPORATION support the purpose of this project, and will respectively make donations for the same purpose-GYAO! based on the number of plays of its featured Utada Hikaru videos, and USEN based on the requests made in connection with Utada Hikaru’s music.
DAIICHIKOSHO will set up a special web page. Based on the frequency at which Utada’s songs are sung, the flowers of the sakura trees on this web page will gradually bloom.
