Information

First Love is Utada Hikaru's debut album. The album reached #1 in weekly Oricon charts and charted for 85 weeks. It has reportedly sold over 7,650,000 copies in Japan, and 10,056,000 copies worldwide. This made First Love the #1 album for 1999, as well as the highest-selling album in Asian 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 "Amai Wana ~Paint It, Black" taken from a Rolling Stones song, and a sample for "Never Let Go", taken from a song by Sting.
