Hikaru Utada's second Japanese album consolidates the R&B-inflected J-pop of her debut with denser arrangements and her own production input. It includes the singles 'Addicted to You', 'Wait & See (Risk)' and 'Can You Keep a Secret?', and its title reflects the physical and emotional distance she has described as its theme.
