Utada Hikaru's Untitled third english studio album

Utada Hikaru's untitled third English (eighth overall) studio album is slated to be released in 2008. She states in her personal blog that she is currently working on both her upcoming Japanese and English albums simultaneously and she was at New York in September 2007. She has been busy creating demos for new tracks at home.

It is currently unknown if her most recent English language song, Sanctuary (Utada song) (accredited to her as "Utada") will be included on this album. Sanctuary was used as the theme song for the International release of the videogame Kingdom Hearts 2, but unlike her previous Kingdom Hearts collaboration, Simple And Clean (accredited as "Utada Hikaru"), Sanctuary was accredited to her simply as "Utada" (her US stage name), leading to speculation that it could possibly be included in this album. In addition, an unknown version of "Sanctuary" was previewed on MTV.com in early 2006, but was never released. "Sanctuary", as of January 2008, has received no sort of official release on CD or for download from Utada herself, whereas Simple and Clean was released as a part of her COLORS single on January 29, 2003.
