Nothing to do with the arrangements though as nearly all the Utada albums after Deep River could have their tracks interchanged and you wouldn’t even notice (with some exceptions). One Last Kiss could have been on Ultra Blue or Heart Station. Fantome and Harsukoi feel like a 2CD release...
Michi could have literally been on any of them.
