She looks absolutely stunning in the promo pics:





About the tracklist, I don't like japanese titles at all, but what can we do? Nonetheless, I'm excited.

Must be. The title means ghost, and she made herself (or her hair at least) look like her mother. Also that she looks quite blurry on the cover picture. Everything is beautifully haunting...

Wow! Loving those pictures!
She does look very much like her mother here. I'm sure at least one track will be about her mother's death.
I'm glad to see Utada on the cover of her releases again and new pictures of her. I hope to see her star in a new music video too.

I love the pictures!

And I don't mind that the titles are in Japanese. If she's returning to her roots, this would be an interesting album!

I'm actually really taken back by the quality of the pictures. It feels kind of dream-like.

I'm very excited for the album!

I prefer the promo picture than the actual cover...

she looks sexy..hardly got this vibe from Hikki...so maybe she want to changes her image for a little bit.

The cover is the best she's ever had. The vibe is so strong! I'm amazed and shocked. How can you not be happy with this?

^^She was pretty sexy back in... 2000 - 2001. Wait & See pv, CYKAS MSta performance, etc . But I think she's has a maturer feminine vibe this time.

The cover and her new profile photos were shot by famous French photographer Julien Mignot ...

I really love his work ...

Well, Manatsu no Tooriame and Hanataba no Kimi Ni are about that.
