That new mix of Hikari/Simple and Clean didn't do anything for me lol. And I can't play Michi for some reason.

[Maemi]

can't play it either

[Ryusei]

Ayu gets that anytime she posts anything even if she looks amazing so...
+ girl is rolling in money she couldnt care less

[Corvina]

Haha, Hikki, danceable...Michi is more like a flowing and relaxing progressive house like midtempo song.
But I really like it!

[Gubsi]

full radio rip is on baidu...

sadly my iTunes can't sync the song to my iPhone cause of the iOS10 update, thats why the apple music servers are down... lol
anyways at first it was ok/nice, but after some repeats gosh i really love this song!

it's like you're sad af, but you don't care and gonna dance cause u know it's getting better!
love the mooooooood!

How exciting.
I just listened to it and I do like it a lot.
I don't really see it as a dance song. More of a mid tempo pop song with electronic elements. But I think it will be good for the album because I have a feeling that many songs will be slower and heavier, so this track will be a good balancer.

I really enjoy it, it makes me happy listening to it. I can see this having some really good remixes.

A physical CD single with remixes would be much appreciated.

[Maemi]

^ thanks for the link! the song is upbeat... I like it but I find the refrain a bit underwhelming...

[mi|kshake]

I'm gonna hold off listening to Michi until I receive the album but I listened to the S&C remix. It's alright, could be a grower!

[Andrenekoi]

I tried to rip it from Tudou, ended up recording the PC audio. But I think the quality is ok.

The quality is just fine! Thank you so much for providing this link.

"Michi" blows me away, despite it's simplicity. I just looove the feel to it! and it does kinda have me dancing...in my seat, at least. "Fantome" is going to be so good, I can feel it now!

How did you do that?

I think most of her upbeat songs are always like that? There's always a subtle sadness in her cheery songs

[ExodusUK]

I think I'll wait for the full album as this is probably the last Utada album for awhile..

[Maemi]

^ omg you're right... we might not get the next album before... 2020? :O

[NintendoHTF1242]

Michi is amazing omg SLAY ME UTADA WE ARE NOT WORTHY

[indigochild]

Michi kind of slays I can't wait for the album!! Two more weeks

[bluegie]

Michi didn't blow me away like Hanataba/Manatsu did, but it's just my first listen .

Edit: Something just pops up inside my mind. DR was the only album that didn't start with a mid/fast tempo song.

[Miduhyo]

I <3 the song. I wasn't sure what she meant when she said it was a dance song (cause who knows whatever Hikki has up her sleeve) but I'm pleasantly surprised. Can't wait for the full album.

[amorphose]

I'm really feeling Michi. Now I'm just even more pumped up than I was before!

Out of the rest of the album, based on her interview, I'm most anticipating Kouya no Ookami and Ningyo.
