[edit] Trivia

  • A music box shown at the beginning of the single's promotional video is playing the "Blue Danube Waltz".
  • The single's promotional video is the first to show Utada playing an instrument, the piano, as she sings. Although she was taught the hand gestures of playing the piano as shown in a documentary about the making of the video, she can indeed play, albeit not playing all the time. She was credited for playing the acoustic piano in the song in the single's booklet and also in the ULTRA BLUE booklet, although she did not play any instruments on her live performance of "Dareka". (She can also play the guitar; this is shown in the video for "Keep Tryin'")
