Where did you even download it? Or are you just talking about the 1 minute version?

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 really feel like that's where the stripped down sound is coming from. I'm sure we will get some of those upbeat, ethereal, experimental songs we all love from her when the album is actually released.

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!

The 1 minute version lol. I can't wait for that long. I have to listen the song (even if it's just a minute) on my iPod everyday .
