"Exodus" is an English language album by Utada, released in 2004. It was released on September 9 2004, in Japan, with a special booklet and housed in a cardboard slipcase. All of the Japanese translations were done by nihongo|Hiroko Shintani|新谷洋子|Shintani Hirōko, except for the song "Animato" which was translated by Utada herself. Utada stated that it had a certain feel to it that she wanted to bring across to her Japanese audience.

"Exodus" was released in North America nearly a month after it was released in Japan, on October 5, 2004 and the UK version was released about a year after on September 26, 2005. Although it was released in three different areas, Utada's "Exodus" album failed to make a mainstream effect in the United States and European Territories. The album reached #160 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

The tracks "Opening" and "Crossover Interlude" contain the exact same lyrics, but are mixed differently. Even though "Opening" has vocals in the song, the lyrics aren't provided in the lyric booklet. The Hong Kong and Taiwan versions of the album contains lyrics for "Opening" in Chinese.

Only two Japanese words have been used for the whole album. The words nihongo|"Konnichiwa"|今日は and nihongo|"Sayōnara"|さようなら are found in "Easy Breezy". Additionally, the words nihongo|"Thank you for praying for my success"|成功祈ってくれてありがとう|Seikou inotte kurete arigatou" are written in the lyric booklet.
