- Information
First Love is Utada Hikaru's first album (although she had an album before this under the name of Cubic U). This album reached #1 in Oricon charts and charted for 85 weeks. Oricon reports that 7,650,215 copies were sold in Japan, and the official world tally for the number of albums sold is 10,056,000. This made First Love the #1 album for 1999, as well as being the most sold album in Japanese music history.
The vinyl edition was released three months later after the album, and contained a bonus track, First Love (John Luongo Remix). This remix originally appeared on the First Love single.
All the songs on this album were written and composed by Utada herself, except for two instances: a line used in The Rolling Stones' song "Paint It, Black" (I see a red door and I wanna paint it black) in Amai Wana ~Paint It, Black, and the music for Never Let Go, as it samples Sting's song "Shape of My Heart".
The album booklet is printed on extremely glossy paper, differing to the standard paper quality found in album booklets. Utada herself also wrote a message in English at the back of the booklet. The message is:
- To everybody who's a part of the Virgin Division, especially the Miyake room;
- the engineers and assistant-engineers who spent late nights and mornings
- for me in the studio; the arrangers, programmers and musicians who laid down
- these great tracks;all the FM and AM stations who gave me support(and airplay!),
- and Global Rights;I know I don't get to say this often,so.... THANK YOU!!!!
- Goh-san! keep your mixes hot! and thanks for the surprise e-mails (＊^^＊)♪
- Mom,Dad,I guess I'm followin' your footsteps and carryin' on the family business
- after all. I know few families are lucky enough to have what we have.
- And to my friends(you should know who you are!),I hope I tell you often enough,
- how much I love you; thanks for the love and support. Keep it real.
- Everyone who's reading this, thanks for picking up my album!! Ma-i-do-a-rii～～
- Luv,
- Hikaru+
