Goodbye Happiness is Utada Hikaru's sixth digitally-exclusive single and the second promotional track, after Hymne à l'amour ~Ai no Anthem~ for her upcoming Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 2 release before her previously announced indefinite hiatus from musical activities. It is her first original Japanese release (single or album; excluding a remix of Beautiful World) since 2008's Prisoner of Love, more than a two and a half year gap; the longest break of her Japan-based career thus far.
The track was first heard by a staff-posted audio clip preview via internet streaming on October 28, 2010 [1]. Soon after on the same date, Radio Airplay throughout Japan was announced to begin on November 1st with Chaku-Uta Ringback Tone downloads beginning on the third[2]; PC, Itunes, and other full track downloads have yet to be confirmed but are expected to begin at a later time. Her official website was updated with the news that all pre-orders (at least through Tower Records and HMV Japan) for her second single collection made before the 14th of November would include a bonus DVD featuring the single's PV[3][4].
The single's PV is expected to begin airing, according to Utada's staff, on TV starting November 9th[5], with a tie-in theme commercial for Recochoku Chaku-Uta beginning the 10th[6].
It has so far topped the Hot Express Daily Airplay Japanese chart on its first day of release[7].
