2007.12.31 Held the New Year's Eve Concert "ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN Shanghai, 11/1-11/2 and Taipei, of which the second Hong Kong for additional venues) Growing up experience editorial section Ayumi Hamasaki grew up in a very beautiful place in Japan - Fukuoka Prefecture, from the window of the home to look out, is a large green lush fields, but Ayu grew up in a family is not as natural scenery so breathtaking. But the family Ayu grew up in wasn't as pleasant as the natural scenery. Her parents divorced when Ayu was very young, and because of this, she was left to experience unimaginable loneliness and isolation at a young age, often feeling helpless!
Ayu was destined to be naughty and mischievous from the day she was born, with her chubby little arms and legs constantly moving around. The conservative father did not like girls very much, Ayu's croaking, his heart's expectations were shattered, swaddling Ayu seems to be able to read his father's mind, every time he saw his father will bloom a big smile, and hands dance. Seeing such an adorable little baby, his father couldn't help but relax his tightly-knit brow and smile, and gave Ayu all of his love and care. But the happiness and joy was short-lived, and by the time Ayu was three or four years old, her father was seldom concerned about her, and focused more on arguing with her mother, and his father began to hate the idea of having Ayu around, so he insisted on taking her away despite the objections of her grandmother and mother. His father also began to hate the idea of Ayu hanging around him, so he insisted on sending her to kindergarten despite the objections of Ayu's grandmothers and mother. One day when Ayu returned home from kindergarten, she saw her parents busily packing and carrying their luggage to the car. She watched them with wide eyes as they moved around in front of her, but in her heart she wondered what they were doing. Finally Ayu couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and asked out loud, "Where are you going?" "Dad is going on a business trip." Father said lightly. Behaving like a little adult, Ayu told her father to be careful. Although her father heard Ayu's response, he didn't turn around to look at her again, he just silently continued to carry his luggage and then drove his car and disappeared from Ayu's life.
After her father left, Ayu was left with her mother and grandmother. His mother took over as head of the family and worked as a saleswoman for an insurance company, while his grandmother took over the household chores and took care of Ayu, who had naturally become a pillar of support for the young man. Although both her mother and grandmother treated Ayu like a treasure in their hands, her father's heartless departure left a lonely hole in her heart and hurt her, causing her to lose trust in everyone and seemingly mature in a flash.Ayu's behavior at the kindergarten showed that she was different. While most ordinary children would shout and complain to their teachers, Ayu seldom cried or pouted, and did not play games with other children, sitting quietly and watching others laugh or cry. After learning about Ayu's isolation from her kindergarten teacher, her mother didn't worry about guiding her back to the world of her peers and took a laissez-faire attitude because she thought Ayu's independent, non-dependent personality was a good thing. Her mother even gave Ayu, who was only five or six years old, the keys to the house, so that she could go to school and come home by herself. One day when Ayu came home and tried to open the door, she realized that the key was missing. Since her mother came home late, her grandmother was out of town, and it was already getting dark, Ayu thought she couldn't wait any longer, so she looked around to see if there was a window that was left open that she could use to get in, but she couldn't find it. So he wanted to break the window, little Ayu found a chair in the yard, stood up, swung his fist, and smashed it hard at the glass, which shattered, but the Ayu hand and wrist were also stabbed by the glass and blood flowed.
As a child, Ayu was very cute and pleasant to look at, which was the most recognized and proudest part of his mother, who also believed that Ayu had the talent to be active in the world of show business, so she began to cultivate Ayu's talent for show business, and when Ayu enrolled in the talent class, she told the teacher that Ayu would definitely become a big star in the future. Although her mother forced her to take additional talent classes, Ayu, who had always been very assertive, did not show any impatience or resistance, because she was also very interested in the piano, which could produce tinkling sounds from a big box, and the ballet, which was a dance on the tips of her toes, and enjoyed it, often playing the piano as if she were in a trance, and she couldn't get Ayu to stop playing it for four or five hours. Four or five hours of non-stop playing could not make Ayu happy. Ayu also worked very hard at ballet, always dancing alone in front of the mirror at home after returning from the class, so she was one of the best dancers in the class, and even in elementary school, she danced Swan Lake and The Nutcracker in a performance at the Fukuoka Civic Center, wearing a dress that her grandmother had sewn with her own hands... ...
Debut
Entering the world of acting (1995-1997)
Hamasaki Ayumi's early career began with low-budget dramas and B-movies, and she began to use the stage name "Kurumi Hamasaki (浜崎くるみ（滨崎来美 Kurumi Hamazaki）", which she changed to "Hamasaki Asuka (浜崎あるみ)" in September 2006, when she became the first woman to be featured in the movie "The Nutcracker". She began using the stage name "Kurumi Hamasaki (浜崎來美 KurumiHamazaki)" until September '95, when she officially changed her name to "Ayumi Hamasaki". She also signed with Columbia Records in Japan and released her debut album "NOTHINGFROMNOTHING", which featured rap songs, and Ayumi Hamasaki took her first step towards becoming a singer. However, due to a lack of publicity, the album sold poorly and was soon dropped by the label. She went back to being a B-grade idol and continued to act in dramas.
She soon became discouraged by the lack of popularity of her work and spent a lot of time shopping and singing karaoke on the streets of Shibuya, a time that sharpened her outlook on life. At the time, her record label was very strict with its employees, forbidding them to work outside the home, so she asked a friend to take a part-time job at her friend's home, but her income was not as good as she would have liked, and she had to share her meals with her friend. In 1997, Hamasaki Ayumi's name seemed to have disappeared from the Japanese entertainment industry, but this did not mean that Hamasaki Ayumi's acting career had ended. At this time, she was discovered by Katsuhito Matsuura (one of the founders of Japan's Ai Hui Music, now the company's president), who was still a music producer at the time. She was discovered by Katsuhito Matsuura (one of the founders of Aiwa Music in Japan and now the company's president) and signed a demo contract. However, at the beginning of the audition, she was bored with her singing training and decided to give up. Afterwards, she was sent to New York for further training and preparation for her debut. At the same time, she also began to try her hand at lyric writing at the suggestion of Katsuhito Matsuura.
The Takeoff Period (1998-1999)
In 1998, Ayumi Hamasaki made her debut after about a year's training, releasing her first single "pokerface" on April 8, which reached No. 20 on Japan's Oricon Records Chart, a notable achievement. She released singles intensively in the following months, and her third single "Trust" managed to reach No.9 on the Oricon Chart, which was the first time a single of hers had reached the top 10. Subsequently, sales of her releases have risen, in part because some of the songs have been used as theme songs for best-selling games or episodes of TV shows, increasing her popularity.
In 1999, Ayumi Hamasaki gained popularity in Japan when she released her first album, "AsongforXX" (Songs for XX), which became number one on Japan's Oricon Records Albums Chart for five consecutive weeks, selling more than 1.45 million copies, breaking a 19-year record for a new female artist. Her song lyrics were popular with young people, and were especially appealing to young women***. Her avant-garde and fashionable style was also popular among high school girls at the time, creating a social phenomenon in Japan, and she became known as the "Pop Goddess of Female High School Students". The single "LOVE~Destiny~" released in April of the same year was Ayumi Hamasaki's first number one hit, selling more than 650,000 copies, and the single "Boys&Girls" released in July of the same year was known as Ayumi Hamasaki's breakout song. At the time of the single's release, another fast-rising newcomer to the Japanese music scene, Suzuki Ami, also released the single "BeTogether" at the same time, and the sales of the two singles clashed in a controversial pairing in the Japanese pop music industry. The single went on to sell over a million copies, but because it came later than the latter, it was her second million-selling single, and with it she began to change the format of singles in Japan, which consisted of more than 10 tracks (original songs plus remixes) in a single. The single "A", which was released in August, was her first million-selling single, selling more than 1.63 million copies, a record that stands to this day. Her second album, LOVEppears, was released in the same year. The album cover was controversial at the time, and her first limited edition single, Appears, was released on the same day, with a white cover for LOVEppears and a black cover for Appears. Despite this, the album sold over 2.56 million copies. With her record sales, Ayumi Hamasaki quickly climbed the ranks of Japanese music diva. At the end of the same year, Ayumi made her debut at the Red-White Song Contest, singing "Boys&Girls".
The Goddess of Variety When Ayumi Hamasaki arrived in Taiwan, some fans cried tears of joy for her, but in Shanghai, everyone was stunned by a tightly packed line of bodyguards and looked on in silence. Half an hour later, a small girl less than 1.60 meters tall came out like a flower. Wearing a hat, her large eyes rolled around and her colorful fingernails were alarmingly long. It's hard to connect this tiny woman with the gorgeous talent in the photo, but someone told me: this is called "Hundred Changes", a moment can become a god, a moment can become a girl next door, when silent, call for love, when talking, call for intoxication, Hundred Changes is to let the two contradictory temperament coexist in the same body: sexy and refreshing. Because she is Ayumi Hamasaki. The Japanese have always been attracted to beautiful women who are "young" enough and change quickly enough. But when it comes to Ayu Hamasaki, the rules have all changed, and she's been popular for so long she's still popular enough to be called "The Godfather of Pop". In Japan's ever-changing fashion, only the 29-year-old beauty Hamasaki Ayumi jade face to look forward to - because everyone knows, where the step sister like, must be popular. From the rabbit girl derived from the popular rabbit girl with long claws and cool eyes to the leopard girl, from the Silence of the Lambs poster to the butterfly face, and even to the computer synthesized seamless half cat face and half beauty face, Ayumi Hamasaki has no inhibitions. The 20 years old, she broke the cocoon into a butterfly, with a surprising speed to become the industry's famous set of lyrics, music, singing as a creative singer. The world downturn, economic contraction, fiscal deficit, financial bubble ...... these terrible words for the 25-year-old Hamasaki Ayumi has no effect, she just keep singing, singing, singing, change, change, change, more and more red, red, red. She set an unprecedented record of three consecutive years of total single sales exceeding 5 billion yen, and became the first singer in Japanese music history to have total music CD sales exceeding 20 billion yen for two consecutive years.In 2001, Ayumi Hamasaki won more than 20 various music and fashion awards in one year.In 2002, Ayumi Hamasaki broke two triple crowns in two days: an "all japan request award" the highest honor award. The most noteworthy thing about her nails, she is Japan's "Queen of Nails" triple crown, Hamasaki Ayumi as a nail trend, the most know how to match the nails and fashion artists, listed as the nail business of the Hall of Fame figure ...... not only has a beautiful shell, she is also good at writing lyrics! In her 2002 album "I am...", she managed to write most of the lyrics. in which managed to bag most of the lyrics.
