"Hatsukoi" is a song by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada. It is her fifth single under the label Epic Records Japan and was taken from her seventh Japanese-language studio album Hatsukoi. The song was released as a digital download on May 30 and was used as a tie-in for the Japanese television drama Hana Nochi Hare - Hanadan Next Season. It's the second song that Utada delivers to the series, after Flavor of Life in 2007.[1]
The song and "First Love" from her 1999 album of the same name inspired the 2022 Netflix series First Love.[2] In December 2022, "Hatsukoi" was remastered alongside "First Love" in Dolby Atmos.[3]
