1st album from Hikaru Utada, who made her professional debut in December with ''Automatic''. Contains 10 tracks, including the 2nd single which came out on February 17. Excellent qualilty music by a15 year-old girl is causing quite a sensation! Review: Good sounds - Good sounds with good quality. Review: Catchy, R&B influenced popwith individual, Japanese style! - I first heard Hikki in Japan last year and her sweet voice and musical talent grabbed me instantly. This album is jam-packed with well-constructed pop songs which prove this young lady's writing ability. The production is largely influenced by American R&B/Hip-Hop, so tracks range (rather like Janet Jackson) from 'First Love' (the sweetest pop) to 'Amai Wana' (funkier, Jam/Lewis type sound). 'Automatic' was (deservedly) a huge single in the Far East and a great dance track. 'Give Me A Reason' is a finely-crafted pop song and definitely one of my favourites. Then there is the sublime 'Time Will Tell' - only 3 of the 12 good reasons for buying this CD album. All songs include a smattering of English - little hooks for non-Japanese speakers - but the overall sound will get you anyway. When will this singer/songwriter break into the world market? I can't wait for the new album!!

日本音楽史上最高傑作の一枚。これ聴かずして音楽語るなかれ
まあ日本国民全員一度は手にした事であろう名盤中の名盤。頂点❗️ この先、100年経っても200年経ってもこの販売記録を塗り替えるアルバムは出てこない。 まあ、もうすぐCD💿ってメディアが多分無くなるけんですね笑 私今回でこのアルバム買うの8回目やもん。 なんかちょっと見当たらなくなったら新品買ってしまうんよねー。 だからこのアルバムの記録はまだまだ伸び続けるのであーる。最高😃

Ein geniales Album!
Die Lieferung war super und der Zustand wie beschrieben. Keine Mängel an der CD. Zum Album: Man merkt den US-Amerikanischen Flair bei ihren Erstproduktionen noch raus, was aber nichts schlechtes heißt. Im Gegenteil, das ist gute Popmusik, die man auch mal nebenbei anhören kann. Ein wundervolles Album. Wer Fan von Utada Hikaru oder J-Pop ist sollte da zugreifen.
