Utada Quotes
- "I never have like an image that I really wanna portray when I start making a song, but when I wrote it, I was a completely normal college girl (freshman). I think anyone can relate to the song part of it. I guess it's a pretty normal, everyday life song." --Utada Hikaru
- "(On the PV) It took a long time, as usual. I don't think I'll ever forget is, as my birthday's on January 19th. We began shooting it on the morning of the 18th, but it ended on the morning of the 19th, so everyone just gave me like a huge bouquet of flowers, The video has scenes where I am still 17 and scenes where I've already turned 18, so it's really cool. And the sets were beautiful, thanks to the staff. The robot was so...the robot is called Pino; he's really cute. He's cuter than me!" --Utada Hikaru
