Description

『First Love』
生産限定盤 / 180g重量盤(2枚組)
2014 Remastered / 96kHz 24Bit 使用
Remastered by Ted Jensen Remastering & Cutting at Sterling Sound

Released in 1999 and reissued on high-fidelity vinyl in 2022, First Love is the historic debut album from Japanese-American singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada. At just 15 years old, Utada crafted a masterpiece that effectively shifted the landscape of J-pop by seamlessly blending contemporary Western R&B with Japanese sensibilities. The album remains the best-selling record in Japanese history, anchored by iconic singles like "Automatic" and the hauntingly beautiful title track, "First Love," which continues to resonate across generations and recently inspired a major Netflix series.

This specific 2022 limited edition release (UPJY-9202) is a collector’s essential, featuring a 24-bit/96kHz high-quality master cutting across two 180-gram heavyweight vinyl discs. The reissue captures the warmth and depth of the original production, from the groovy, bass-heavy rhythms of "Movin' on without you" to the soulful, stripped-back melodies of "time will tell." For audiophiles and long-time fans alike, this edition serves as the definitive physical tribute to an album that defined an era of Asian music.
