* "I'm really intersted in how everyone's gonna react to it over there [Japan] because I tried a lot of new things in it. I participated a bit in the arrangement also and kinda added a rock flavour to it. So it's new for me and I hope it's new for everyone. I hope you will enjoy the song, and I hope you'll enjoy the video cause the video is...I just love how I turned out. So...please watch it." --Utada Hikaru
