Hikaru Utada's new (?) Japanese single
During a recent interview, Utada said she was currently working on a new Japanese single. It is still too early to say whether it is this CD or not, but a new single is announced for an August release, under a label which is not Toshiba-EMI....
Entitled 9-sai no omoide (memory of when I was 9), Hikaru Utada's new single is slated for an August 21 release. It will be out under New Century Record, the label which had published U3's album in 1996 (U3 being the group made up of Hikaru and both her parents).
As for now, no information about the CD's content has leaked out, but its release context raises several questions: is it an unreleased song recorded back when U3 were together, with its rights belonging to New Century? If it is, will it it be released just as it was recorded back then or will it be re-arranged? Or is it something more ambitious?
There will probably be further information soon...
