Deep River is the third Japanese studio album (fourth overall) released by American -born Japanese J-pop star Hikaru Utada , released in 2002 . It sold just over 2.35 million copies in its first week of release (much like the 2,026,870 units by First Love and 3,002,720 by Distance in their debut sales week), easily debuting at #1 on the weekly, monthly and eventually yearly charts of the Oricon Albums chart.
I love the single Hikari so much! The American and Japanese version of Hikari is addicting and I can't help but sing along in both languages. One of my personal favorites by Hikaru Utada.
