Today, it was announced on Utada Hikaru's Official Website that she will be releasing a brand new album and live tour across Japan in 2018! Utada's 6th album ‘Fantôme’ released in 2016 to critical acclaim, and in 2017 she released two new singles "Forevermore" and "Oozora de Dakishimete" following her departure from Universal Music Japan to Sony Music Labels. 

Her latest album has also been released on Apple Music, Spotify, and other subscription music services for streaming. Check out the full press release below:

From December 8th (Fri), Utada Hikaru’s songs from her 1998 debut single to her 6th album ‘Fantôme’ released in 2016, will be available in music subscription service in various major platforms including Apple Music. Right now, she is devoting herself to create her 7th album, which will be her first after joining Sony Music Entertainment, planned for release in 2018. Plus, she is planning for a live tour across Japan, which she hadn’t done since ‘UTADA UNITED’ 12 years ago in 2006. Please look forward to them as details will be updated in the official website!

Late last year, Utada's father and manager Utada Teruzane had briefly mentioned on Twitter that Utada would be returning to work on the theme song for KINGDOM HEARTS III, but amended his statement a day later stating that while they are eager to do it, nothing had been made official as of that time.

OMG! THE QUEEN RETURNS SO SOON!

While it's more than likely be in the much later part of the year, I'm stoked as Fantôme was simply great. If anything here's hoping we get to hear KH3's title song sometime between now and summer since it's more than likely written at this point. Granted if she is doing a kh3 song but we all know she has to be =p

Ya know I've never really listened to her other songs outside the couple that have been used in Kingdom Hearts so far.
Wonder if they're any good. I have a hunch that one of the tracks from this new album will be incorporated in KH3 somehow especially since they're working with Sony. I'm definitely interested in finding out what it is and seeing if it will be any good.
Oh and I am rather curious to know if it will be dubbed again like the previous two were.
