Utada's new English album This Is The One has now been released digitally. In an interview with radio station "107.9 The End", Utada spoke about her Kingdom Hearts work saying that, since she doesn't like role-playing games, she has never played Kingdom Hearts.

"People beat the game, then my song plays".

Also, during an interview on the CBS Early Show, she mentioned that her label was trying to get permission from Disney to release Simple and Clean and Sanctuary as bonus tracks for her album's physical release on May 12th. If they do get permission, this will mark the first time that Sanctuary will have been officially released.
