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. Through her entire career, she has written all her lyrical content, produced her own music and has sometimes co-composed her music, which is evident in her albums I Am..., Rainbow and My Story...

Certainly everyone, in order to protect love, Certainly wishes to believe in something
It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music
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 read and watch movies. I can't go to the movie theater much anymore, though, because I get recognized. It's worse sometimes if I wear a costume and try not to get recognized. I watch most of my films on airplanes
In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.
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.
The lovers, appearing happy, walk, holding hands. Though it appears everything is perfect, only they know the truth.
Remember, once more how our world should be. And please, don't forget, please, please don't forget.
Surely, no one hoped for so many things. Hold the flowers close to your heart; they may someday bloom.
If you were alone and suddenly became blind, and even so you keep walking forward.
A woman could be having fun A woman could be like a nun In order to survive We cannot be kind Until we are hurt
