Ayu has a deliciously handsome new dancer. Can you guess who?
Also, here is where Ayu performs most of the songs from GUILTY as well as a few old favorites like RAINBOW, evolution and, of course, Boys & Girls.
…Okay, the dancer’s name is Maroka: my new favorite…perhaps meant to be shu-ya’s successor?
(Countdown Live 2007-2008 Anniversary)
Last year’s performance of her signature A Song for XX. Sometimes she can sing with a certain feeling of passion and pain when it comes to this song.
This proves what a fucking amazing performer she’s become over the years. I’m especially looking forward to A Song for XX from this DVD collection.
This shit is like an endless orgasm for my ears… (A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ now on sale)

「なんだかタイミング悪くて」
I’ve been listening to Ayumi Hamasaki’s full-length albums lately and I have to say that I take back what I said before about her music. It may have changed over time, but it’s still pretty damn good.
I just finished listening to a bunch of her albums, four of which are her last few studio albums. After really listening well to these albums I can definitely feel the overwhelming...

Why Ayumi Hamasaki?!
I made a playlist on iTunes of Ayumi’s best song mixes, because she has so many of them that I decided to pick out the best ones. I’m very proud of my list, but it really shows how the quality in her work really went down as the years went by. Her music used to be so awesome! It’s still pretty good now…but it’s not the same at all. Sometimes she’ll come up with...
