It sparked the R&B movement.
A standard, orthodox melody and a shocking love song that changed the history of JPOP.
This album sold 8 million copies in Japan. As the title "FIRST LOVE" suggests, it conveys the freshness and universality of love. The lyrics were appropriate for Hikaru Utada, who was 15 years old at the time, and were popular among young people. Her singing ability and proficiency in English were also reasons for her popularity.
