"This Is Love" is the first Japanese digital single released by [[Utada Hikaru]] (3rd digital, 23rd overall). Despite being a digital single, it was used mainly for promotion of Utada's next album, ''[[Ultra Blue|ULTRA BLUE]]'', so the single did not receive its own cover, and simply borrowed the cover from the album. The song was used as the theme song for a [[Nissin]] cup noodle [[CM]], as well as an ending theme for the [[anime]] ''[[Freedom Project]]''. It topped many charts at release, and was the 9th most downloaded song of 2006 on iTunes. In March 2007, RIAJ gave it a triple platinum certification for Chaku-Uta downloads.

Utada herself is quoted to have said that this song is about expressing that "Love is like a mix of extremes; anxiety and peace."
