I have no idea why people are complaining about the Japanese tittles.
Seriously, it makes no sense to me.

Idk, Japanese titles are capable of doing the same as well. I actually get quite excited when I'm looking at a tracklist in general and see that one song or two written in kanji. For me, because it's so much more common for Japanese artists to title songs in English, I always feel like there's a specific reason for and meaning behind abstaining from English. So seeing Utada's entire tracklist in Japanese is a bit unconventional (for mainstream pop artists that I know at least) and gives me good vibes.
