(2001)nihongo|"For You / Time Limit"|For You／タイム・リミット|For You / Taimu Rimitto was Utada Hikaru's 6th Japanese-language single (8th overall) released in June 30 2000. "For You" was a soft, R&B/J-Urban ballad, while Time Limit was a more upbeat, synthesized R&B/J-Urban track. The uniting theme of the two was their mid-tempo style, quite unlike any of Utada's other Distance tracks. This may be a remnant of the American production on this single.

"For You / Time Limit" debuted at #1 on the Oricon charts, and became her second single to accomplish two consecutive weeks at the position, selling 451,640 in its first week and went on to distribute 909,000 copies. Even though this single was the only double A-side of Utada Hikaru's Distance era, this single surprisingly sold the least. Interestingly, it did outsell every DEEP RIVER, ULTRA BLUE, and HEART STATION single, however. This was also her second double A-side single, after Automatic / time will tell in 1998. Surprisingly, neither track was used for any tie-up (for example, as a song used in a commercial or drama). It's popularity is most likely due to the fact that just after it's release, Utada started her first nation-wide tour. Time Limit was arranged and produced by Rodney Jerkins aka Darkchild, making this Utada's second involvement with a famous American R&B/Hip-Hop arranger (Two previous singles, Addicted To You and Wait & See ~Risk~ were arranged by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis). Because this single is a double A-sided one, each side of the single has a cover artwork relevant to it. This single reached #1 on Oricon charts, charting for 13 weeks. This single became the #18 single of 2000 in Japan. It reached #32 on World Charts for single airplay, and reached #28 for sales. The most recent figures (May 26 2006) show that the single sold 888,650 units in total [ [http://wiki.theppn.org/For_You_/_Time_Limit For You / Time Limit - Wiki.theppn ] ] .

Unlike every other PV of Utada's, the two PVs that promoted this single were created from concert footage. The only other PV of Utada's to feature live footage is Flavor of Life, an in-studio PV.
