I think so, it could be from another place or something.... And she also says that and something along the lines of "I need more emotion." Maybe these are hints to the lyrics of the English version.

But does anyone think that Utada got to see the ending to Kingdom Hearts 2 before any one?(Besides the ones who made the game) I mean so she could make sure the music fit in perfectly? I think she did
I stand corrected. In a recent interview, Hikki spoke of how she was able to see clips of KH2 that would lead up to the ending.

Passion interview from Utada! ~~

Passion really started about a year and a half ago. It's because it was the theme song to a game that it was made so early. From this time onwards I was getting info (in the way of subject matter). Like, say, just simple pictures or video clips from Kingdom Hearts II. These things said to me that the ending theme will build on all this from here onwards. It was a really hard thing to do.

It was like when I was making Hikari (the Kingdom Hearts theme song). I said, "At the moment, the things for the game feel a little...soulless". But last time, when I was making the song, the whole outlook for the game and it's entry onto the world was so crucial that I got a lot more info on the characters (so that Hikari would mirror the image that they wanted).

Passion is like, . It has a feeling that connects together the end of the last game and the sequel. Like, how it showed the characters and how they met and so forth. It was pretty easy to think up an image. It's like...as if Hikari was the dawn, and Passion has a concluding or 'dusk' feeling to it.

From here after, I wanted this song to communicate so many various ideas. While you can see some very ordinary imagery in the song, when you listen the imagery can become very dramatic.

The lyrics of Passion show how phases of the past, present and future of the character in my song relate to each other, and the arrangement builds a peculiar, almost floating feeling. People who have listened to Passion have wanted to daydream; to really see the places and times that I wanted to portray to them. While they listened to Passion. They're like, "What? How old is this person in the song? What day and month is this set? What? Where is this taking place!?". ...

Sweet, nice find. Just went to kh-2 and read it. I never knew the film was set in Beijing! That's cool. And I thought the anime girl looked like Hikki xD She's so modest.
