Oh God, I have no idea!
I like all the albums for different reasons...
I like ULTRA BLUE's experimental touch, same with EXODUS, EXODUS rocks! But then I like DEEP RIVER and DISTANCE as well...
I'd have to go with.... ULTRA BLUE 'cos it's got a grea variety of songs... But then again DEEP RIVER was an amazing album! And HEART STATION! And This Is the One!... Damn this is really difficult...

Another difficult question. I'm now referring to her discography list to make sure I don't include the singles when I answer this. As much as I love Deep River, I have to go with Exodus. It's a great listening experience even without the singles. Tracks like the epic Kremlin Dusk, provocative Hotel Lobby and Workout. Not to mention how About Me ends the album flawlessly.

Just to prove First Love was not a fluke, you always look at how good the second album is. Distance had a lot of great songs on it and is my best. It made me "addicted".
From the wiki:
After a two years' break, Utada released her follow up album Distance, garnering a first-week sales of 3 million units sold. Backed by her singles ? "Addicted to You," "Wait & See: Risk," "For You/Time Limit" and "Can You Keep a Secret?" ? Distance became the best-selling album of the year, with 4.469 million copies sold in Japan alone. Additionally, "Addicted To You" became Utada's best-selling single, selling one-million in its first week which became the highest first week sales for a female solo artist and staying on top of the chart for two consecutive weeks. "Wait & See: Risk" and "Can You Keep A Secret" also were later ranked at #6 and #10 respectively on Oricon's list of 10 Best-Selling Singles from January 1, 1999 to April 24, 2006. Utada also went on to release a single that was dedicated to the female victim of a murder case in Ikeda, Osaka titled "Final Distance."
(That murder story is so sad cause the little girl was a Hikki fan. Watch the vid and see the little kid angels.)

Ultra Blue for me. BLUE, Making Love, One Night Magic and WINGS are phenomenal.

Wow, this is a very tough choice to make....gosh, I think I'm gonna have to go with....DISTANCE!
Sangurasu, Dorama, Eternally, Kettobase!, Parody, Kotaba ni Naranai Kimochi, and Hayatochi [Remix] are all very strong songs, especially for not being singles.
Took me forever to choose, and I'm not even sure about picking DISTANCE, lol. I love all her stuff, so it's really hard to choose some over others.

Kettobase is a bside of can you keep a secret and hayatochiri is a bside of wait and see
but I guess they technically aren't singles
Anyways hayatochiri is better than the hayatochiremix
