Also, to the people saying the comeback is too plain: Both of these songs are obviously tributes to her late mother, who was an enka singer.

I don't think they're
obviously tributes to her mother.
Utada isn't as obscure about the subjects of her lyrics as, say, Ayumi. Dareka, for example, was clearly about her mother, referencing the joy a parent must feel when they see their child accomplish great things. There really isn't a song in Utada's discography which we have to read between the lines.
That said, I'm curious if Utada will write a song about her mother's death, or if it's too soon. Knowing Utada, if she does write a song about her late mother, the style and lyrics will be much closer to Sakura Nagashi, Dareka, or DEEP RIVER, something much more somber than these two singles.
And on that note, I'd love to hear Utada cover one of her mother's songs as a tribute. THAT would be something special!
