I'm glad they aren't using Beautiful World again.

Nice song. I was curious to see what they would come up with this time around. Wish I knew the meaning of the lyrics. I guess we'll get a translation soon.

Thank god they aren't using Beautiful World again. I like the song and all, but it's definitely overused.

This is her first new song since November 2010, but her record company emphasizes that this does not represent her return to music


Crying or Very sad
I guess it makes sense. Still makes me a little sad.

I enjoyed Utada's take on Fly Me to the Moon, so I'll be looking forward to hearing the ending theme at the end of the third film.

i was expecting another remix of Beautiful World. Would have been interesting, though I expect this song to suit the ending of the new film. Sort of sad/melancholic. Maybe they are bumping a character off? Am i reading into this too much?

probably are reading into it too much heh. I would guess they just wanted to change it up some. Plus Utada is very popular, one of the j-pop Queens really, so I think it's a good choice over all. Then again I happen to like her myself so I'd be happy anytime she is used for an anime opening or closing.

No surprise there. They only do new theme music for the main platform games i.e. KH 1 and 2 and since there hasn't been a main platform game since 2006 they will continue to recycle Simple and Clean. I almost wish they would get a move on and do KH 3 already just so we can get another Utada song since it's pretty obvious she'll record new stuff even during a hiatus if it's for a big franchise like she's just done for Eva.

It would be cool if she did a version of Cruel Angel Thesis...

The song is somewhat sad, which makes me think that the ending of 3.0 won't be very positive either.

Also, those who want to see 6 minutes of eyepatch Asuka in space, they're already on Youtube. Looked very pretty.

Nice to see Utada back. I wonder if this song has anying to do with a death possibly caused by the spoiler[14-year timeskip] between 2.0 and 3.0.

Currently watching the first seven minutes of 3.0. Mari calling Asuka 'Your Majesty' made me very happy. Watching these two play off each other is going to be fantastic.
