Other songs
- Sukiyaki-- She DID NOT cover the song Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto. "This was a demo version for her recording company, Toshiba-EMI and was never officially released to the public." was made up. The song "Sukiyaki" was sung in English by a band called A Taste of Honey. While the singer from this band does sound a lot like Utada, the fact is the song was sung in the early 1980's. The rumor is believed to have been started by someone mislabeling the song file, then that file getting distributed to the public via a file sharing program.
- Save the Best for Last-- She sang the chorus of the song originally by Vanessa L. Williams on her 20th birthday. Mentioned that it's her 'weapon song' during karaoke sessions. (UH Live Streaming 20 Dai wa Ikeike!)

- Living on My Own-- On her Bohemian Summer 2000 tour, she covered Freddie Mercury's "Living on My Own".
- Take on Me-- On her Bohemian Summer 2000 Tour, she covered A-Ha's "Take on Me".
- With or Without You-- she covered U2's "With or Without You" on MTV Unplugged.
- Playback part 2-- A cover of legendary Japanese idol, singer, and actress Momoe Yamaguchi's classic, also performed on her Bohemian Summer 2000 tour.
- Boulevard of Broken Dreams-- She covered Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams along with Passion on the Christmas of 2005. It was available as an internet download for a short period of time.
