One Last Kiss

"One Last Kiss" is a song by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada. Utada recorded the song as the theme for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion series. The song was issued digitally on March 9, 2021, followed by the eponymous One Last Kiss EP on CD and LP on March 10. Utada wrote and composed the song and co-produced it with A. G. Cook. After reading the film's screenplay, Utada began composing and programming "One Last Kiss" while envisioning its final scene, building the track from the synthesizer heard in its introduction. Its electronic production emphasizes rhythm and bass alongside synthesizers, piano, and vocal cut-ups, while the lyrics explore love and loss. Critical commentary focused on the song's emotional expression, electronic production, and relationship with Neon Genesis Evangelion. "One Last Kiss" reached number one on both the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and Oricon Combined Singles chart and topped Oricon's Weekly Digital Singles chart for three consecutive weeks. It also reached number 40 on the Billboard Global 200 and number 11 on the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.
