Utada announced a hiatus from her music career in 2010 to focus on her personal growth, returning to her career of music in April 2016. In 2021, the theme song for EVANGELION: 3.0+1.0 THRICE UPON A TIME, "One Last Kiss" charted in 33 countries and regions worldwide as well as the Spotify Global Viral Chart.
