Far away is Hamasaki Ayumi's 15th single under the avex trax label. The song, and one of its remixes, was used in commercials for KDDI's Tu-Ka cellphones. The "Far away" commercials focus on the phone's web, text, & color capabilities. It was released as part of Ayu's 2000 single Trilogy, and was preceded by vogue and followed by SEASONS. Ayu has said that the singles are looking at her life from three different angles. The cover art for vogue is a close-up of Ayu's face. The cover of Far away has zoomed out to reveal the photo of Ayu standing on a deck, next to someone else who has been torn off the photo. The cover of SEASONS shows Ayu, by the ocean, holding that half of the torn photo. There is one long PV for "vogue," "Far away," and "SEASONS." The PV uses abridged versions of the songs. The individual segments of the PVs were aired individually as the singles were released, and ultimately the long video was released as a DVD single along with a making-of video. The single reached #2 on the Oricon charts and stayed on the charts for a total of thirteen weeks. The single sold 253,530 copies in its first week and has since sold a total of 510,460 copies.
