Contrary to everyone’s belief, Cynthia and I did not spend 4 days in front of our computers playing our favorite online game. We have hardly touched that game during this holiday. Ha! It is for the love of Chinese tradition (hard to explain so we shall leave it there). It is a rare opportunity to [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki Rock’n'Roll Circus Tour Final 7Days Special – Simply Amazing
October 1st, 2011 2 Comments
The barrier of our imagination is often defined by our experience. If you have not seen a Japanese concert by Ayumi Hamasaki before, it is hard to describe what you have missed. Let me say, it is mind blowing. Cynthia does not know her music. But she has thoroughly enjoyed watching the music recording. She [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki – Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus – Another Great Production
May 5th, 2010 6 Comments
At the counter, the sales assistance hesitated for a brief moment and he asked, “Do you want the poster?”. Do I want the poster?! I am a fan. Hit me with one! Really. Do I want the poster? I asked Cynthia where I should paste it. Dining area, I suggested. She frowned and counter-suggested the [...]

Next Level by Ayumi Hamasaki – I Love It
May 7th, 2009 1 Comment
I met my friend for lunch one day at Shokudo and told her that Ayumi Hamasaki has released a new album. “Who’s [What’s] that?” she asked. Maybe I am too naïve to think that everyone know who she is. Japanese artist Ayu has been my inspiration for years. Since 2000, she has been releasing one [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki Complete Singles – Is This for You?
November 10th, 2008 27 Comments
Hardcore Ayu fans will get this, regardless. For just over S$30, even if most of us – the fans – have already had most of her albums (I have close to 300 songs of hers that amount to 23 hours of continuous enjoyment), this box-set is a very nice to have. It has: A beautifully [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2007-08 Anniversary (DVD) – Raising the Bar Once Again
August 23rd, 2008 18 Comments
Foreign as it may sound to you, Ayumi has been a great inspiration to me. It is a pity that many find language a barrier that is too high to cross. Even if you are not into Ayumi’s music, watching her concert recordings will certainly open your eyes to what a live performance can be: [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki’s Guilty – It’s Near Perfect In My Book
January 12th, 2008 3 Comments
Year 2000 was when Ayu released “Duty” – my favorite album before “Guilty”. Year 2000 was also the year when she started to realize that she has problem with her hearing that ultimately leads to her losing all hearing in her left ear by the time “Guilty” is released. At times I can’t help but [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki’s Secret
December 12th, 2006 2 Comments
Ayumi Hamasaki‘s new album “Secret” is out and need not to say, being a huge fan of hers short of having her name written all over my T-shirts, my forehead, my jeans, and God-knows-where, I bought the album without knowing what was inside. “Secret” comes with a CD of 14 songs that is just under [...]

Ayumi’s New Album Is Out
January 4th, 2005 No Comments
When I dined with my friend TK showing him my new Ayumi Hamasaki album on Dec 22nd, he said that as a huge Ayumi fan, I should have bought the album on day one and not one week after. Well, I would not have known if Ayumi’s album did come out in Singapore one week [...]
