It's not everyday that a sixteen year old sells nearly ten million copies of her debut single, and while I'm on the tangent, please do find a copy of First Love if you haven't already. Her first song is a masterpiece and still her best by far.


(emphasis added)

Did you mean to say "album?" It was the album that sold that much, and her first single (though not first song) was Automatic.

I feel your pain on Beni, she got better material while she was in Bishoujo Club.

"Passion" is the theme song to Kingdom Hearts II.

Y'know, I wasn't too sold on Passion until I heard/saw it paired with some animation from the Kingdom Hearts II game, and now I think it's brilliant. It's kind of a haunting song, mysterious and vaguely powerful. Good stuff, really.

Oh, and the two versions on the single are totally different, which is nice, considering most singers just incorporate a "karaoke" track and call it good. I'm gonna have to say this is Utada's best song since "Colors."
