*"It's talking about a 'working gal'...In Japanese if I had made a song like that, people would have said, 'Oh my GOD! What is she saying? It's bad influence for the kids!', but in English it's a story-telling process, and it's okay." --Utada Hikaru

*"All through high school I lived in hotels, and for me hotels came to represent false appearances and isolation. In 'Hotel Lobby', I tell a story about a prostitute. When I became famous, I felt so overprotected and pampered and fussed about all the time that I fantasised about being unprotected, like the girl in the song. I used to feel lost in a strange lifestyle that I couldn't escape from. So I can relate to this character, even though we have different lifestyles." --Utada Hikaru
