Listen to everything tbh. But like Koumori said, download the single collection vol. 1 and 2.

I only ever heard Passion from her. I would like to check her out tho. What songs do you recommend for a new potential fan? Guide me to the light people.

Sakura Drops!

Thank you for all the suggestions. Donwloading the single collections now. Let's see how it goes. Thanks again.

^I suggest you download every album. That's what I did, and listened them in release order and was blown away. Especially with Distance, DEEP RIVER and ULTRA BLUE.

I always feel pretty overwhelmed when I listen to a whole (new) discography in a row, but that's just me. It's as if past the second album my brain switches off and it takes a lot longer to pinpoint songs I like

@Luna: I hope you enjoy something!

[Delicious n Bold]

A full discography listen is the only way you'll see me listen to Distance LOL

Ahhh, really? DISTANCE is my favorite albums of hers, I like it so much!

I just skip HEART STATION, it's the only album I don't really like

[adantatu2]

I tried her singles before and I didn't like a lot of songs, but I enjoyed Boku wa Kuma or something like that,Goodbye Happiness and Sakura Nagashi (I adore her voice in this one).

Praying for something epic as Sakura Nagashi.

Delicious n Bold, please pray with me.

I would say DEEP RIVER is her best work to date. Followed by ULTRA BLUE.
They would also be the easiest to connect, well mostly.

[Minttulatte]

I think Distnce is her best album to date but R&B has always been my kind of thing. I do love all of her albums though.

[NintendoHTF1242]

It's hard for me to choose a favorite Utada Hikaru album since all her albums possess a unique gem. But I would have to choose HEART STATION.

[melissalove]

Ultra blue onwards is when I officially declared myself a fan. so I've got special appreciation for ultra blue.

Distance is definitely her best album. Strong writing + production start to finish. I like all her other albums but to me they are a lot more inconsistent internally in terms of quality (I'm looking at you, "Utada Greatest Hits vol. 0.5 + 3-4 fillers" masquerading as an original album called Deep River). There is literally not a single bad song on Distance. Those were the days.

I actually always thought Distance was her most inconsistent sounding album (I'm assuming that's what you meant by "inconsistent in terms of quality"). Interesting.

As much as it is great, I don't think that Parody would be an easy listening to someone new to her. I love Parody but it took me years to like it and before it I just felt it was pretty boring, and some other tracks on that album as well, it took time to appreciate Distance (let alone First Love which is a so so album).

Yes, at the time I didn't like its musical style so much. It felt kinda slow and wierd. It changed a years afterwards though.

I see what you mean, I love that song but I skip every time it plays.
Still a good song though.

[Delicious n Bold]

I'll have to get the CD out and listen to Distance the oldé fashioned way tbh.

adantatu2, I'll pray with you! we need a prayer circle going lol

[RikkuK]

I can't believe she had a baby. Here I thought she was barren.
