Ayumi Hamasaki

omg i love japan and all things japan related!!! ayumi hamasaki is really really pretty. i like her music too
XD hopefully she'll come to texas and do a concert because i wanna see one.
also, my almost 13 year old guy cousin likes her don't tell anyone ok? lol

With a highly successful career spanning over a decade, in addition to having sold more than 70 million records worldwide, Hamasaki's megastar popularity and influence in Asia has yet to diminish and is still growing strong unlike most other j-pop acts who now see retirement as one of their goals in the near future. I have been a fan of this woman since the year she released that number one hit which almost became a million seller, Evolution, and I must say that although new stars have recently been emerging in an attempt to challenge Ayu for her throne (one such rival is Kumi Koda, another J-pop singer I love for social and personal reasons).

And despite having suffered a few losses in the later half of her career (such as no more million selling albums after My Story, no more million selling singles after & and releasing not as many miscellaneous records (remixes and whatnot) as she previously did. On the lighter side of things, she still manages to retain her talent of achieving consistent number one hit singles every year fro 1999 to 2009 (2010 if you include her new single "You were.../BALLAD") and that goes for her albums as well. She also hold the record for most number singles by a Japanese artist (34 in total), more than that of B'z or Mr.Children, making her the only artist and female artist to achieve said record.

And as with fame, she deals with both sides of the coin, namely the "good" (popularity, influence, wealth,etc...) and the "bad" (management control, blackmail, statistical manipulation, etc...) in a fairly unbiased manner. In my opinion, Ayu is unlike most others who create music for the sake of it or just want to be famous simply because she originally didn't have any intention to be a star. She also sees music as an outlet to express herself, a tactic in career that has allowed her millions of fans around the world to appreciate her personality and buy her music regardless of the corruption rooted within that regional industry.

There maybe other powerful Japanese musicians in the business who make music for their own reasons (such as Hikaru Utada, Namie Amuro, Arashi and others), but i believe that Ayumi is the best of them all simply because she is honest about herself and always gives with every performance her all. Sure she makes some mistakes in her life but no one is perfect.
