Before unveiling the Top 2, I wanna briefly honor two bonus tracks that we've left out:
"Hotel Lobby" (The song was later interpolated by herself in her official single "Kiss & Cry".)
"Poppin'" (Another feel-good dance track carrying the DNA of "The Workout"!)

Mama don't you worry about me This is my story"Exodus '04" is the third single from Exodus. The song was co-produced by Utada and Timbaland. Following the success of "Devil Inside", this song also became a moderate dance hit in the US, peaking at #24 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 2005. In this rankdown, while no one's #1, the song managed to escape from the bottom-4 from everyone's lists, making it the song with the lowest standard deviation. A universal bop.

When you walk away, you don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go.""Simple and Clean" is the theme song of Kingdom Hearts. The English version of "Hikari" and was released in 2003 as the b-side to her single COLORS, this song (and its PlanitB remix) is the most popular song by Utada known to the English-speaking world. Apart from holding the Guinness World Records for being the Best-selling video game single in Japan since 2008, it has also won numerous music and gaming accolades for Utada, including being named the Song of the Year of 2003 by the Japan Gold Disc Award, and listed by GameFAQs, Game Dynamo, and The Young Folks as one of the best Video Game Theme Songs in the 2000s.

Yay for "Simple and Clean"! Such a gorgeous vocal and song by her. I'm surprised "Devil Inside" didn't end up being the last Exodus song standing, but "Exodus '04" is decent.
Thanks for hosting! I would definitely be here for more Utada RDs!

so happy to see "Simple and Clean" come out on top in its 2nd rankdown ever! Would have liked to have seen "Sanctuary" in the top 2 but did not expect it honestly and am really happy it was #3. This was fun to do and I really enjoyed most of her music as I had never listened to her beyond the Kingdom Hearts songs before. Not sure how many of these songs I'd revisit just cause it is such a departure from what I usually listen to but sign me up for any more Utada rankdowns Ty and thank you for hosting this one!

I'll take "Simple and Clean" as a winner! Thanks for hosting Ty! If there ever is a Japanese Hikaru Utada RD, sign me up and I will flop like crazy because there is a level of nostalgia associated with certain songs ("Can You Keep A Secret?", "traveling", "Flavor of Life - Ballad Version" etc. etc.) lol

I'm only mildly disappointed Exodus made the top 2 as my lowest rank in the top 7. I've always found it just okay but no one tanked it like they did for better other songs.
