Ayumi Hamasaki
Ayumi Hamasakiis a Japanese recording artist, lyricist, model, and actress. Hamasaki has achieved popularity in Japan and Asia by enforcing her position as an artist and not trying to be forced as a "product", which was a common factor within the Japanese music culture and Avex Trax.

If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.
I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.
I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.
Slowly, I've come to realize That I cannot heal my past And that fearing the unavoidable future Is pointless
If you are afraid of changes Watch from a distance Whether or not I might do something If you're going to talk about me behind my back It is what it is.
What if everyone goes on the endless road Sooner or later Over the clouds to the sky Be sure to wait for me. And then, we will talk away About our countless memories.
When I lost my way, and When the road was too long, I was muttering to myself. Life is just that way...
Music is my life, if I am without music or if I can't sing any more, I die, I'm nothing... because music is everything.
I'd heard a lot of Asian people were rooting for me, but I had no idea. I was stunned. They were... impassioned, especially compared to Japan. I couldn't even have anticipated that kind of welcome
I have trouble voicing my thoughts... I can't communicate very well that way.
Beginnings come at random but endings always have a reason
It is necessary that I am viewed as a product. I am a product.
Of course, my motto is still, 'Work is work, private is private.
If you were alone and suddenly became blind, and even so you keep walking forward.
