    Obviously the only reason this CD now hit the million mark was because of Last Friends, because its a pretty weak album without that song on it.

    Prisoner of Love (the theme song of Last Friends) is just like Utada's tune again. Up-tempo minor ballad. I heard she wrote it in just 3 or 4 hours by making the best use of the drink bar at Jonathan. What a cool way of making a hit and wealth!

    I love 'Heart Station' I can listen to it over and over. I'm beginning to love 'Prisoner of Love' and I already love 'Stay Gold'. I buy Utada Hikaru albums, she's totally worth it.

    Though boku wa kuma, is odd.
