Distance facts

All songs were written by Utada Hikaru. She made this album when she was 18.
The song "Distance" was slowed down and made into another song called "Final Distance" in memory of a fan who was shot in her school.
If you listen to the first part of "Taimu Rimitto" ("Time Limit"), you can hear "Darkchild", which is the signature of producer Rodney Jerkins who's worked with R&B artists like Tony Braxton.
The song "Kotoba ni Naranai Kimochi"'s melody was originally "Interlude" on the First Love Album. "Interlude" was remade into this full length song.
The "ri" on the song name, "Hayatochiri" was removed, and added was the "Re" part of "Remix". Therefore you get "Hayatochi-remix".
