The cover art for the single release of "Face My Fears", the opening theme for KINGDOM HEARTS 3 by Utada Hikaru and Skrillex, has been revealed! Per Utada's website:
Cover artwork for the single was also revealed, featuring an illustration created for the title by the director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series, Tetsuya Nomura. It illustrates Hikaru Utada standing upon a body of water holding the signature weapon of the game, a keyblade. It's a rarity and treat for Hikaru Utada fans as well as KINGDOM HEARTS fans. This marks the second time collaborating with Tetsuya Nomura for artwork illustrations, the first was in 2014 for promotions of her book "Utada Hikaru no Uta."
Fans can listen to a preview of the song in the game's opening movie trailer, in both Japanese and English.
"Face My Fears" will be released alongside the English-language ending theme "Don't Think Twice" on January 18th, 2019. Preorder now from iTunes or from various Japanese retailers!

This reminds me of Yuna from FFX. So beautiful!

My thoughts exactly. Really good cover.

New Nomura art of Utada <3

Adding here as well; digital preorder goes up tonight at 12est and will grant immediate downloads of both Chikai and Don’t Think Twice :)
They’ve already dropped on Japanese digital services
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
I'm still blinking myself awake and there is just so much going on and I'm pinching myself. Why is it that whenever Utada steps up is when this franchise fires on all fronts.
OK so yes this artwork is great and I can't wait for the full song. That taste was just so bittersweet.
Also I'm feeling like Hikki as a KH3 secret boss is now on the table.
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
It's funny how Nomura's depiction of Utada makes her look like Yuna. XD

Thanks for this - was worried when I couldn't find it on iTunes!
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
Yeah this is gorgeous and unexpected!
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
Sooo I may or may not have heard the full DTT thanks to an acquaintance and uh...it’s definitely no Chikai lyrically. She took some liberties with the melody again a la Simple and Clean lol
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
The cover/artwork is excellent, I like it a lot.

This is the kind of hi-res quality that we need for the KH3 cover art but none have surfaced yet ;A;

Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
I honestly can't wait to hear the full version of DTT. I hope it gets uploaded somewhere soon!

Pro tip - For some reason, iTunes UK doesn't have this, but I got my pre order from Amazon!

I realised this as well. It's especially bizarre because Don't Think Twice and Chikai are both available to preview and buy, listed as part of the single, yet trying to view the page for the single itself ends up showing it as "currently unavailable in the UK Store."
Also, I'd love to have this artwork as a wall scroll.
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
Normua did a great job and the keyblades are really a nice touch. This needs to be a poster!
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
Welp, I tried to preorder it so I could listen to it but no go. Getting it on iTunes grants me access to Chikai and Don't Think Twice, but Face My Fears is greyed out. Spotify only has Don't Think Twice at the moment. I really need to listen to the song but I don't think it's gonna happen until January 18th. I mean, I can deal with it, but it sucks that everyone's listening to the song and I can't. I'm in the UK as well if anyone's wondering. Might have to listen to the trailer until the 18th which is what I did with Don't Think Twice until I managed to get the full version this morning lol. Ah well, January 18th is gonna be a long time...

Yeah I also noticed. I noticed Spotify only has Don't Think Twice as well, but literally only that one. Looks like we might actually have to wait until January 18th for Face My Fears unless it drops later in the week.
Re: Cover Art for Utada Hikaru's Face My Fears single
Both versions of "Face My Fears" will release January 18th. That has been known since the EP was announced.
