"Hatsukoi" (
Background[]
Hikaru Utada originally performed the image song, "Flavor of Life," for Hana Yori Dango Returns (2007). Utada was confirmed to be in charge of the image song for Hana Nochi Hare in early April 2018.[3] Before writing "Hatsukoi," she read the manga to understand its themes.[4] The song and its title were officially unveiled during the broadcast of the first episode on April 17.[1] It was released as a single on May 30. The same day, a short music video for the song was published. It was directed by Yasuhito Tsuge, who previously filmed Utada's "Manatsu no Toriame." "Hatsukoi" was included as the title track of Utada's seventh studio album on June 27.[5]
In 2022, "Hatsukoi" and her 1999 single "First Love" were used in the drama, also titled First Love, while also serving as inspiration to the storyline.[6] A remastering of "Hatsukoi" and "First Love" in Dolby Atmos was released later the same year.[7]

うるさいほどに高鳴る胸が I need you, I need you 人間なら誰しも もしもあなたに出会わずにいたら うるさいほどに高鳴る胸が I need you, I need you どうしようもないことを もしもあなたに出会わずにいたら 言葉一つで傷つくような 欲しいものが 風に吹かれ震える梢が 狂おしく高鳴る胸が I need you, I need you
Urusai hodo ni takanaru mune ga I need you, I need you Ningen nara dare shimo Moshi mo anata ni deawazu ni itara Urusai hodo ni takanaru mune ga I need you, I need you Do shiyo mo nai koto o Moshi mo anata ni deawazu ni itara Kotoba hitotsu de kizutsuku yo na Hoshi mono ga Kaze ni fukarefurueru kozue ga Kuruoshiku takanaru mune ga I need you, I need you |
