This is exciting! Kinda makes me feel like these were specifically mixed for KH.

They were mixed specifically for Kingdom Hearts. We dropped the ball on an interview a few weeks ago but Nomura confirmed Utada worked with them on it.

It appears to be that way. Are EPs ever released physically these days?

Japanese artist release singles all the time, let's wait maybe it will be announced before the year ends.

You are right, EPs have more songs than singles, let's wait and see ;P

I meant the treatment of singles vs EPs but you are right about that. But EPs rarely get physical releases these days due to how cheap the are typically. You get more profit from digital sales of EPs than physical.
