It was released as a preceding download from the album on December 3 , 2014 . This version received favorable reviews from most music critics . Bradley Stern from MuuMuse was particularly positive off the collaboration , stating " For the most part , the featured musicians on '' Utada Hikaru no Uta '' stay faithful to the original records while adding their own unique flare to the production ... like AI ‘ s soulfully somber take on “ Final Distance , ” . " The song was performed on '' MTV Unplugged '' , along with her single " First Love " . Utada has played the song only on one of her concert tours , this being the Utada United 2006 tour
