This album is surprisingly Utada fans because the music is 180 degrees different from the musical 'Utada Hikaru and accompanied by video clips that where there is a very American scene dressed Hikki pool. Exodus is a very experimental nuances are not getting a warm reception from the American public even had time to occupy the single Devil Inside # 1 Billboard Hot Dance / Club Airplay (Utada became the second Asian artists through the Billboard chart after Anggun in 1998). In Japan, this single sold 1.074 million copies. Easy Breezy-launched as a radio single and PV was directed by Jake Nava. Consecutive singles released but no one matched the success of Devil Inside.
The third single was released in June 2005 and occupied the # 24 Billboard Hot Dance / Club Airplay. Although released as singles but no PV for this single. Then the fourth single You Make Me Want To Be A Man was released in Europe followed by a re-release of Exodus in Europe.

Fortunately, Exodus starting with the worldwide success through the numbers one million copies.(//en.wikipedia.org)
