Pop Japan

Nothing beats the celebration of 20 years in the industry than to release another "first Love."

June 27 is the day when the Utada Hikaru launches her latest album entitled, Hatsukoi, to the market. Coincidentally, hatsukoi literally means "first love" in English. 

Considered to be her 7th Japanese album, this is also her first with Epic Records Japan, a part of the Sony Music group. 

With a total of 12 songs, the album also features the song, Chikai (Don't Think Twice), which is the official soundtrack of Kingdom Hearts 3. It could be remembered that Utada Hikaru also sang the theme song entitled, Hikari (Simple and Clean) for the first Kingdom Hearts game.
