==Information==<br />
===BeForU Beginnings===<br />
On November 20, 2000, [[Konami]] and [[Toshiba-EMI]] held auditions to form a J-pop group, [[BeForU]]. Many people auditioned, and Kosaka, who was then fifteen years old, was one of four who joined the group. The group originally made songs for ''Bemani'' games and released their first song "[[Dive (BeForU)|DIVE]]". <br />
After Dive's success, BeForU produced more tracks for [[Dance Dance Revolution]], including "[[Dive (BeForU)|DIVE: More Deep and Deeper Style]]" and "[[Firefly (BeForU)|Firefly]]". This was when Kosaka got her first solo single, "[[True...|true...]]". The song was a success in the DDR community, and Kosaka continued to release other songs in [[Bemani]] both with [[BeForU]] and as a solo singer. <br />
===Solo Career===<br />
In 2004, the band's first album, ''[[BeForU (album)|BeForU]]'', was released, containing some solo work by Kosaka. In the same year, her first full solo album, ''[[Begin (Kosaka Riyu album)|begin]]'' was released. Since then, Kosaka released various singles both on her own and with [[BeForU]], as well as a new album with the group. In 2007, she recorded a song for the film ''[[Kamen Rider The Next]]'', "[[Platinum Smile]]". In December 2007, she released her sixth single, "[[Kokoro no Ato]]". The song was used in the anime ''[[Mokke]]''. In 2008, she released her second studio album, ''[[Every Struggle|every struggle]]''. Due to the break-up of [[BeForU]] in late 2008, she did not produce any solo works for some time, until her release in 2010 on the compilation album ''[[Amatsu Misora ni! Soundtrack|Kimi ga Kiroeru]]'', for the PC game ''[[Amatsu Misora ni!]]''.<br />

===BeForU Debut===<br />
[[Image:beforuIpromo.jpg|thumb|220px|left|BeForU promoting ''[[BeForU (album)|BeForU]]'' (2003)]]<br />
<br />
On November 20, 2000, Konami and Toshiba-EMI held auditions to form a J-pop group, BeForU. Many people auditioned, and only four people were chosen for their talent, ability and emphasis; [[Yoma]] (26), [[Maehara Shiyuna]] (21), [[Noria]] (19), and [[Kosaka Riyu]] (15). <br />
<br />
"BeForU" is a play on words and was the winning result of a contest to name the group. The group name is both a reference to the Dance Dance Revolution song "[[B4U]]" and a play on the words "before you." BeForU also when they originally formed, had four members.<br />
<br />
They unofficially debuted in 2000 with the song "[[Dive (BeForU)|DIVE]]" on the game Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix. <br />
In 2001 their company saw sucess in Riyu and had her release her own debut single "[[True...|true...]]" and released her own solo album album 3 years later entitled ''[[Begin (Kosaka Riyu album)|begin]]''.<br />
<br />
The group officaly debuted with their debut album ''[[BeForU (album)|BeForU]]'' in 2004. <br />
<br />
In early 2004 Shiyuna left BeForU group to pursue other venues. She was the only BeForU member without any solos.<br />
<br />
===BeForU NEXT===<br />
[[Image:beforu.jpg|thumb|240px|BeForU promoting "[[Ki.Se.Ki|KI・SE・KI]]" (2004)]]<br />
<br />
After Shiyuna's departure, BeForU had another contest for two new members. There was a tie for first place, so there became six members instead of five. The additions were [[Sotohana Risa]], [[Arisawa Miharu]], and [[Minami Sayaka]]. They formed the second generation of BeForU known as BeForU NEXT. (BeForU NEXT refers only to the new members.<br />
<br />
They made their second generation debut with the single "[[Ki.Se.Ki|KI・SE・KI]]" in 2004 and released their second album ''[[BeForU II]]'' in 2006. They performed live for the first time to promote the album and released a DVD ''[[BeForU First Live at Zepp Tokyo 2006|BeForU FIRST LIVE at Zepp Tokyo 2006]]'' that shows performances at the concert.<br />
<br />
The group signed to[[avex trax|avex mode]] and released their first single under the label "[[Red Rocket Rising]]" and a month later "[[Get Set Go!! ~BeForU Astronauts Set~|Get set GO!! ~BeForU astronauts set. They released another single also a month later "[[Strike Party!!!]]" which was used as the third season of the anime [[MAJOR]]s ending theme song. <br />
<br />
They released a special mini-album titled ''[[6 Notes|6NOTES]]'' in 2007 that was under their own [[Be+Wings]] label. Each of the 6 songs is a solo by each member. The CD was only available at their special live events and on their website. In February 29, 2008, it is no longer available and a rare item.<br />
<br />
They released their third album ''[[BeForU III ~Breaking Into the Probability Changes~|BeForU III ~Breaking Into The Probability Changes~]]'' in 2007 and returned to Zepp Tokyo and performed live to promote the album and released another DVD ''[[BeForU Live 2007 Zepp Tokyo|BeForU LIVE 2007 ZEPP TOKYO]]''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:beforuIIpromo.jpg|thumb|left|260px|BeForU promoting ''[[BeForU II]]'' (2006)]]<br />
<br />
After the released of their fifth single "[[Yo Hanabi]]" the group made no public appearances until December 2007 when Riyu announced on her blog that due to an illness, Miharu would retire from the group and not long later Yoma had chosen to depart for personal reasons. Their departures were effective immediately and they did not perform at a scheduled concert on December 30th where a graduation took place for Noria and Risa Sotohana who were going to start solo careers. Their website shut down for two months. <br />
<br />
===BeForU Third Generation===<br />
In February 2008 their website reopened and it was announced that 3 new members would be joining the group, [[Tachibana Ayano]], [[Nishiuchi Hiromi]], and [[Fukushita Megumi]]. Soon after the new members announcement Sayaka left the group due to an illness. <br />
<br />
The debut of the third generation was released on a DVD ''[[BeForU / Four Piece Riyu Kosaka / Live 2008]]''. The group was bought out by the label [[Gambit]] and soon after they released their sixth single "[[Shangri-La (BeForU single)|SHANGRI-LA]]" in 2008. Less than a month later they released their fourth album titled after the single ''[[Shangri-La (BeForU album)|Shangri-La]]''. After the albums release there have been no recent news or updates about the group since 2009 and their website no longer exists. There has also been no mention of BeForU on members' blogs. It can be safe to assume they have disbanded due to the new generations lack of success. In 2009 Riyu confirmed the rumors to their disbandment.<br />

In 2007 and 2008, Hamasaki expanded outside of Japan by holding 2 concert tours with show locations throughout Asia<br />
<br />
Hamasaki celebrated the release of her 50th single by leading up to the release in three parts. The three-single project began with "[[Moon / Blossom|MOON / blossom]]", followed by "[[Crossroad (Hamasaki Ayumi)|crossroad]]", and finally concluded with her 50th single, "[[L (Hamasaki Ayumi)|L]]". <br />
<br />
In August of 2010, the New York [[wikipedia:Daily News (New York)|Daily News]] conducted a survey of the 20 richest female singers of all time-based on contracts, tours and inheritance based on lists from [[wikipedia:Forbes|Forbes]] magazine. Hamasaki is the only Asian artist on the list, placing 7th and reportedly having made gains of $400 million (U.S.). <br />

==Biography==<br />
===Early Life===<br />
[[File:Hamasakiayumi.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Hamasaki Ayumi (1995)]]<br />
<br />
Hamasaki Ayumi was born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1978. Her father left her and her mother behind when Hamasaki was only three years old. One night, Hamasaki awoke in the night and witnessed her father packing up his things. When she asked where he was going, he said he was leaving on a business trip. After wishing her father a safe journey and going back to bed Hamasaki never saw him again.<br />
<br />
Following her father's departure, she and her mother moved in with her grandmother. Hamasaki's mother worked most of the time, and thus the responsibility of caring for young Hamasaki fell on the shoulders of her grandmother. Hamasaki would later say that her grandmother felt more like a mother to her than her "Mommy" did. When she was seven years old, Hamasaki began working as a child model for local institutions to help contribute to the family.<br />
<br />
At the age of 14, Hamasaki moved to Tokyo and signed with the talent agency SOS. Hamasaki worked as a model, doing many swimsuit photoshoots for magazines like [[BOMB]], [[Young Teioh]], [[Takarajima]], and [[Up To Boy]]. She also starred in several movies and TV series, including ''[[Yami no Purple Eyes]]'' and ''[[Miseinen]]'' on TV, and movies such as ''[[Ladys Ladys!! Soucho Saigo no Hi]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Like Grains of Sand|Like Grains of Sand]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Sumomomo_Momomo|Sumomomo Momomo]]''. However, her career as a model did not last very long as she was deemed too short to be a model. She was transfered from SOS to the music agency, Sun Music.<br />
<br />
====NOTHING FROM NOTHING====<br />
<br />
Hamasaki signed very briefly with [[Nippon Columbia]] under the name AYUMI featuring [[Dohzi-T|DOHZI-T]] and [[DJ BASS]] and released one single and one mini-album, both titled "[[Nothing_from_Nothing_(mini-album)|NOTHING FROM NOTHING]]". It sold dismally and [[Nippon Columbia]] dropped her. Hamasaki found little success as an idol and gave it up in favor of hanging out with friends.<br />
<br />
===Debut with A Song for ××===<br />
<br />
Dissatisfied with her job as an actress and an unsuccessful singer, Hamasaki quit work and moved in with her mother (who had recently moved to [[Tokyo]]).<br />
<br />
[[File:Hamasakiayumi 1998.jpg|240px|thumb|left|Hamasaki promoting "[[Poker Face|poker face]]" (1998)]]<br />
<br />
As a junior high student back home, Hamasaki was a initially a dedicated student. However, her interest in the curriculum soon disintegrated and with it, her grades. Once in [[Tokyo]] and living with her mother, Hamasaki attempted to return to school and enrolled in Horikoshi Gakuen, a high school for the arts. She dropped out after the first year.<br />
<br />
A jobless high school dropout, Hamasaki decided that her time was best to spent shopping in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya,_Tokyo| Shibuya] district of Tokyo and dancing at [[wikipedia:Velfarre|Velfarre]], a club owned by [[avex trax|Avex]]. One fateful night at Velfarre in 1997, Hamasaki was introduced to [[Wikipedia:Max_Matsuura|Matsuura Max]] (her future producer) by a friend. After hearing Hamasaki sing karaoke [[Wikipedia:Max_Matsuura|Matsuura]] told her she had a nice voice, but couldn't sing well. He wanted to send her to voice lessons and sign her to his label, [[avex trax]]. She found him to be shady and rejected the offer at first. However, Matsuura persisted and convinced Hamasaki to sign with the label in the following year.<br />
<br />
Hamasaki was then sent to New York for voice lessons but rarely attended, having always had a problem with authority. She never told [[Wikipedia:Max_Matsuura|Matsuura]] that she ditched the lessons and went shopping in New York instead. While in New York she exchanged letters with Matsuura, oddly displaying a remarkable talent for expressing her feelings.<br />
<br />
Finally she returned to [[Japan]] to record her debut single, "[[Poker Face|poker face]]". Up until the day of recording, Hamasaki had been dissatisfied with the lyrics. [[Wikipedia:Max_Matsuura|Matsuura]], remembering Hamasaki's letters, suggested she try writing new ones. Her lyrics were the used in the final recording of the song. The day before that recording session, Hamasaki's grandmother was sick in the hospital. Hamasaki visited her briefly saying that she'd come again later, and that tomorrow she had to record her first single. The day of recording, Hamasaki received a fax saying that her grandmother had passed away.<br />
<br />
"[[Poker Face|poker face]]" was released on April 8th, 1998. Soon afterwards, she released her second single "[[You (Hamasaki Ayumi)|YOU]]". Neither release was a hit. However, Hamasaki's emotional lyrics resonated with the Japanese public and people began to take notice of her. Hamasaki's third single, "[[Trust (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Trust]]", managed to chart within the [[Oricon]] Top 10, coming in at #9. Her next two singles both charted within the [[Oricon]] Top 10.<br />
<br />
[[File:Asfxxpromo.jpg|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[A Song for XX|A Song for ××]]'' (1999)]]<br />
<br />
On January 1st, 1999 Hamasaki's debut album was released. Titled "[[A Song for XX|A Song for ××]]", the album reached number one on the [[Oricon]] album chart, selling over 1 million copies. Due to the success of the album, she received the Japan Gold Disc Award for Best New Artist.<br />
<br />
===Rise in Popularity with LOVEppears and Duty===<br />
<br />
In February of 1999, Hamasaki released her first single since her debut album. "[[Whatever (Hamasaki Ayumi)|WHATEVER]]", featuring two different versions of the song with neither labeled as the original, peaked at #5 on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
In April of 1999, Hamasaki released her first #1 single with the [[Tsunku|TSUNKU]] composition "[[Love ~Destiny~|LOVE ~Destiny~]]".<br />
<br />
Hamasaki's August 1999 single "[[A (Hamasaki Ayumi)|A]]" was initially released in five different versions (distinguished by different colors). To commeorate sales of 1 million copies, a version of the single with a gold colored disc was released. When sales reached 1.5 million copies, a special edition gold disc was released. The single sold over 1.6 million copies total, and is to this date her best-selling single.<br />
<br />
[[File:LOVEppearspromoresize.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Loveppears|LOVEppears]]'' (1999)]]<br />
<br />
Hamasaki Ayumi's second album, "[[Loveppears|LOVEppears]]", effectively solidified her status as "Japanese pop royalty". Released on November 10th, 1999 the album immediately reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts, where it remained for three consecutive weeks. The album sold 1,443,490 copies in 1999 making it the #15 album of that year. In 2000, the album sold 1,077,960 copies making it the #14 album of the year. In total the album sold 2,562,130 copies and charted for 64 weeks.<br />
<br />
Fans noticed a change in Hamasaki's musical style with the release of this album, going from the rock-style of "[[A Song for XX|A Song for ××]]" to a more dance-pop style. The single "[[Appears|appears]]" was released on the same day as the album and reached #2 on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
The summer of 2000 saw Hamasaki's first concert tour, which was a huge success. It was later released on DVD, VHS, and VCD in two separate releases, "[[Ayumi Hamasaki Concert Tour 2000 A Daiichi Maku|ayumi hamasaki concert tour 2000 A Daiichi Maku]]" and "[[Ayumi Hamasaki Concert Tour 2000 A Daini Maku|ayumi hamasaki concert tour 2000 A Daini Maku]]".<br />
<br />
In April of 2000, Hamasaki released "[[Vogue|vogue]]", the first single in a special release project. "[[Vogue|vogue]]", "[[Far Away (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Far away]]", and "[[Seasons|SEASONS]]", were all released one month apart from each other and were marketed as a trilogy. The singles were very successful, with lyrics focusing on emotions on hopelessness, a reflection of Hamasaki's self disappointment with her past public image. Hamasaki described the lyrics as looking at her life from the front, the back, and the side respectively.<br />
<br />
[[File:ayu_promoting_duty.jpg|right|270px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Duty]]'' (2000)]]<br />
<br />
In September of 2000, Hamasaki's third album, "[[Duty]]" was released. With lyrics dealing with issues similar to those in the trilogy singles the album stirred emotions in many fans and became an instant success. "[[Duty]]" sold 2,603,550 copies in 2000, becoming the #2 album of the year and sold 2,904,420 copies in total. It is Hamasaki's best selling original studio album to date.<br />
<br />
At the end of 2000, Hamasaki held her first New Year countdown concert at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium. It is a tradition she still follows every year.<br />
<br />
===A BEST and Controversy===<br />
<br />
In 2001, [[avex trax|Avex]] told Hamasaki that she was to release her best-of album after having released her previous studio albums. Hamasaki was not happy with this decision as she felt that her best album is something she wants to do perfectly and the way she wants. She was not ready yet as an artist to release a best album and was being forced to release a rushed release.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, work on the best album began. Hamasaki begrudgingly hand-picked the songs. As a small show of retaliation and control of her career, she re-recorded four of the tracks.<br />
<br />
However, the friction with her label grew greater once the release date was chosen. At the time, the two most successful singers in Japanese pop were Hamasaki and [[Utada Hikaru]]. [[Utada Hikaru|Utada]] was to follow up her massively successful debut album "[[First Love (Utada Hikaru album)|First Love]]" with her sophomore album, "[[Distance (Utada Hikaru album)|Distance]]". [[avex trax|Avex]] strategically placed the release of Hamasaki's best album within the same week as [[Utada Hikaru|Utada]]'s album. As a result, the media reported a heated rivalry between the two young female stars. Both Hamasaki and [[Utada Hikaru|Utada]] vehemently denied these claims stating that the rivalry was fabricated by their record labels. The album was promoted heavily and Hamasaki appeared on the covers of numerous magazines.<br />
<br />
[[File:A-bestpromo.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[A Best|A BEST]]'' (2001)]]<br />
<br />
"[[A Best|A BEST]]" was released on March 28th, 2001. In the first week, [[Utada Hikaru|Utada]]'s "[[Distance (Utada Hikaru album)|Distance]]" took #1. In the second week, the albums' positions flipped and "[[A Best|A BEST]]" claimed the top position. In the end, both albums were huge successes, with "[[A Best|A BEST]]" selling 4,295,353 copies (becoming Hamasaki's best selling album and the #6 best selling album in Japanese music history) and "[[Distance (Utada Hikaru album)|Distance]]" selling 4,472,343 copies (making it the #4 highest selling album in Japanese music history).<br />
<br />
To promote "[[Duty]]" and "[[A Best|A BEST]]", Hamasaki toured the Domes of [[Japan]], becoming one of the only artists to be able to fill the seats at [[wikipedia:Tokyo Dome|Tokyo Dome]]. At the same time, she was being worn down physically and mentally. During the rehearsal of one of the shows she damaged her leg. Around this time, it was also discovered that the hearing in her left ear was deteriorating.<br />
<br />
Although [[avex trax|Avex]]'s stock values rocketed with the success of "[[A Best|A BEST]]", Hamasaki was unsure about staying with the label. In the end, she decided to stay and began to take more control in the production of her music.<br />
<br />
===Control over Career===<br />
<br />
Prior to the release of ''[[A Best|A BEST]]'', Hamasaki Ayumi released the single "[[M]]" in December of 2000. It was her first single since the release of her album "[[Duty]]" as well as a turning point in her career. This was the first song whose melody she composed herself and it showed a definite stylistic shift for the singer. Hamasaki wrote the song and its lyrics under the name, CREA. Since this time in her career, nearly every single she released has reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] weekly charts. Following the controversy with "[[A Best|A BEST]]", Hamasaki saught similar control over her career and threatened to leave [[avex trax|Avex]] if she was not being treated "as a human being."<br />
<br />
[[File:Iampromo.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[I Am... (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|I am...]]'' (2002)]]<br />
<br />
On September 27th, 2001 Hamasaki released her 24th single and one of her most iconic songs, "[[Dearest]]". The single was a huge success, selling a total of 750,420 copies and charting at #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts. It was also used as the 3rd ending theme to the popular anime, ''[[InuYasha]]''. However, the lyrics and promotional videos were a direct depiction of Hamasaki's feelings towards the way she was treated during the "[[A Best|A BEST]]" controversy.<br />
<br />
In December of 2001, Hamasaki participated in [[Komuro Tetsuya]]'s charity drive, [[song nation]]. The song project, featuring other popular [[avex trax|Avex]] artists such as [[Koda Kumi]], [[BoA]], and [[Amuro Namie]], came together to help raise money for victims of the attack on the [[Wikipedia:World Trade Center|World Trade Center]] on September 11, 2001. Hamasaki collaborated with avex label-mate [[kco|KEIKO]] on the single, "[[A Song Is Born|a song is born]]". The single reached number #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts (the only one of the song nation singles to do so).<br />
<br />
On January 1st, 2002, Hamasaki released her fourth studio album "[[I Am... (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|I am...]]". Nearly every single track was composed by Hamasaki under the name CREA. The album had a different photo and lyrical concept at first but following the attacks on 9/11, Hamasaki revised the album to focus on issues like faith and world peace. The album reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts and sold 2,308,112 copies.<br />
<br />
A little less than a year later, Hamasaki released her fifth album "[[Rainbow (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|RAINBOW]]". It sold 1,856,919 copies in 2003, becoming the #2 album of the year. In total, the album sold 1,857,870 copies. First press copies included a code to listen to a sample of the instrumental for the title song, "[[Rainbow (Hamasaki Ayumi song)|RAINBOW]]", which was released a few months later on the compilation album "[[A Ballads|A BALLADS]]".<br />
<br />
===2003-2006===<br />
<br />
In August of 2003, Hamasaki Ayumi released her 30th single, "[[Forgiveness|forgiveness]]". To commemorate this release, a special concert titled ''[[A Museum ~30th Single Collection Live~|A museum ~30th single collection live~]]'' was held at [[Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyougi-jo|Yoyogi National Gymnasium]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Memorialaddresspromo.jpg|left|260px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Memorial Address|Memorial address]]'' (2003)]]<br />
<br />
In December of 2003, "[[Memorial Address|Memorial address]]" was released. It is the first mini-album released by Hamasaki, with each song on the mini having its own [[PV]]. The album reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts, selling over 1 million copies and becoming the best selling mini-album by a female artist.<br />
<br />
Even with the "[[A Best|A BEST]]" controversy seemingly far behind her, Hamasaki still felt as if she was being treated as a product and not a person. She expressed feelings that her last two studio albums were rushed. It is about this time that her sales started on a gradual decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mystorypromo.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[My Story (Hamasaki Ayumi)|MY STORY]]'' (2004)]]<br />
<br />
This sense of dissatisfaction drove Hamasaki to begin work on her sixth studio album, ''[[My Story (Hamasaki Ayumi)|MY STORY]]''. In this album she wrote freely and honestly. As a result, the album had no set theme and instead focused on her emotions towards her career.<br />
<br />
"[[My Story (Hamasaki Ayumi)|MY STORY]]" was released on December 15, 2004. The album reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts, selling 1,131,776 copies. This would be Hamasaki's last album to sell over 1 million copies in [[Japan]]. To promote the album, Hamasaki embarked on a tour titled "[[Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2005 A ~My Story~|ARENA TOUR 2005 A ~MY STORY~]]". It is her first tour to be based on an album.<br />
<br />
Following the release of "[[My Story (Hamasaki Ayumi)|MY STORY]]", Hamasaki released 4 more singles: "[[Step You / Is This Love|STEP you / is this LOVE?]]", "[[Fairyland (Hamasaki Ayumi)|fairyland]]", "[[Heaven (Hamasaki Ayumi)|HEAVEN]]", and "[[Bold & Delicious / Pride]]". The "[[Fairyland (Hamasaki Ayumi)|fairyland]]" [[PV]] became one of the most expensive music videos ever made, "[[Heaven (Hamasaki Ayumi)|HEAVEN]]" was used as the theme song to the movie ''[[wikipedia:Shinobi: Heart Under Blade|Shinobi]]'', and "[[Bold & Delicious / Pride]]" became Hamasaki's 25th #1 single; tying her with [[Matsuda Seiko]] for the record of most #1 singles by a solo female artist.<br />
<br />
Nearly two years after the release of ''[[My Story (Hamasaki Ayumi)|MY STORY]]'', Hamasaki released her seventh album ''[[(Miss)understood|(miss)understood]]''. The sound of this album is distinctly different from anything released by Hamasaki in the past. This is because many of the tracks were covers of demos songs composed by [[wikipedia:Roberto Rosan|Roberto "Geo" Rosan]] and intend for an album for [[wikipedia:Sweetbox|Sweetbox]]. Hamasaki liked the sound and asked for permission to cover some of the songs. She edited and rearranged some of the tracks, rewriting the lyrics until she liked the results.<br />
<br />
[[File:Missunderstoodpromo.jpg|left|260px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[(Miss)understood|(miss)understood]]'' (2006)]]<br />
<br />
''[[(Miss)understood|(miss)understood]]'' reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts. However, It became Hamasaki's first album to not sell over a million copies in [[Japan]].<br />
<br />
On March 8th, 2006, Hamasaki released the single "[[Startin' / Born to Be...|Startin' / Born To Be...]]". The single became her 26th #1 single, breaking [[Matsuda Seiko]]'s record for most #1 singles by a solo female artist.<br />
<br />
Hamasaki's eighth album, ''[[Secret (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|Secret]]'', was released on November 29, 2006. At first it was meant to be a mini-album but Hamasaki changed her mind and wrote five more songs. It reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts but failed to sell over a million copies. However the album was a huge success throughout Asia, selling a total of 2,000,000 copies.<br />
[[File:secret promo.jpg|right|275px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Secret (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|Secret]]'' (2006)]]<br />
===Foray into Asia===<br />
<br />
On February 28th, 2007 Hamasaki released two compilation albums, ''[[A Best 2 -Black-|A BEST 2 -BLACK-]]'' and ''[[A Best 2 -White-|A BEST 2 -WHITE-]]''. The compilations featured songs from ''[[I Am... (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|I am...]]'' through ''[[(Miss)understood|(miss)understood]]''. On the day of release, ''[[A Best 2 -Black-|A BEST 2 -BLACK-]]'' reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts. ''[[A Best 2 -White-|A BEST 2 -WHITE-]]'' charted at #2, making Hamasaki the first female artist in 36 years to occupy the #1 and #2 positions on the [[Oricon]] album charts. Sales of both albums combined totaled at 1,424,734 copies.<br />
<br />
Hot on the heels of the success of ''[[Secret (Hamasaki Ayumi album)|Secret]]'', and the two compilations in Asian countries outside of [[Japan]], Hamasaki decided to go on a concert tour of Asia. ''[[Asia Tour 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~ "Live + Documentary"|ayumi hamasaki ASIA TOUR 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~]]'' was announced. The foreign fanbase was extremely excited by the announcement. Tickets for the shows in Hong Kong and Taipei sold out within 3 hours.<br />
<br />
In July of 2007, Hamasaki released her first single in over a year, "[[Glitter / Fated|glitter / fated]]". The single included a short film shot in Hong Kong featuring [[Shang Yue]]. On July 13th, 2007 it was announced that Hamasaki had split with her long time boyfriend [[Nagase Tomoya]], whom she had been dating since 2001.<br />
<br />
In December of 2007, Hamasaki released her first digital single "[[Together When...]]", which topped digital charts. On January 1st, 2008, Hamasaki Ayumi released her ninth album ''[[Guilty (Hamasaki Ayumi)|GUILTY]]''. Unlike with her past albums, Hamasaki stated that the writing process was not very emotional for her. The album is noticeably darker and more rock driven than her past work. The album reached #2 on the [[Oricon]] charts and is Hamasaki's first album to not top the charts at #1.<br />
<br />
[[File:mirrocle-world.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Hamasaki promoting "[[Mirrorcle World]]" (2008)]]<br />

<br />
To begin the celebration of Hamasaki's 10th anniversary in the music scene, [[avex trax|avex]] released "[[Mirrorcle World]]" on April 8th, 2008 exactly 10 years since her debut with "[[Poker Face|poker face]]" in 1998. The single reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts, making Hamasaki the only solo female artist to have a #1 single every year for 10 consecutive years.<br />
<br />
Shooting for the "[[Mirrorcle World]]" [[PV|music video]] took place in Paris, France.<br />
<br />
Hamasaki then embarked on her second Asia tour ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki Asia Tour 2008 ~10th Anniversary~ Live in Taipei|ayumi hamasaki ASIA TOUR 2008 ~10th Anniversary~]]'', which was used to promote ''[[Guilty (Hamasaki Ayumi)|GUILTY]]''. Footage for the concert DVD was recorded at the show in Taipei.<br />
<br />
On September 10th, 2008 Hamasaki released ''[[A Complete ~All Singles~|A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~]]'', a compilation album featuring all the A-side songs of all her singles. The album reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts and sold 852,259 copies, making it the third best selling album by a female artist in 2008, behind [[Amuro Namie]]'s ''[[Best Fiction|BEST FICTION]]'' and [[Utada Hikaru]]'s ''[[Heart Station (album)|HEART STATION]]''.<br />
<br />
In December of 2008, Hamasaki released the single "[[Days / Green|Days / GREEN]]".<br />
<br />
To close her 10th anniversary celebrations, Hamasaki held her annual countdown concert, this time titled ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki Premium Countdown Live 2008-2009 A|ayumi hamasaki PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE 2008-2009 A]]'' and featuring many of her old hits.<br />
<br />
===NEXT LEVEL, Rock'n'Roll Circus, 50th single, Love songs, and engagement===<br />
[[File:nlpromo.png|right|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Next Level|NEXT LEVEL]]'' (2009)]]<br />
In February of 2009, Hamasaki released "[[Rule / Sparkle]]". "[[Rule (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Rule]]" was used as the theme song to the international release of the live action movie, ''[[Wikipedia:Dragonball_Evolution|Dragon Ball Evolution]]''. The single continued her long running streak of #1 singles.<br />
<br />
On March 25th, 2009 Hamasaki Ayumi released her 10th album, ''[[Next Level|NEXT LEVEL]]''. It reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts and sold 379,989 copies. This time, her style was more electronic. The album also came in an USB format, a first for Hamasaki. The [[PV|music videos]] for "[[Next Level (song)|NEXT LEVEL]]" and "[[Curtain Call (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Curtain Call]]" were both shot in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
To promote ''[[Next Level|NEXT LEVEL]]'', Hamasaki went on her ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2009 A ~Next Level~|ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~]]'', her first Arena Tour of [[Japan]] in two years.<br />
<br />
In the summer of 2009, Hamasaki released her 46th single, "[[Sunrise / Sunset ~Love Is All~|Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~]]". It became her 44th single to chart within the top 10 on the [[Oricon]] charts, making Hamasaki the artist with the most top 10 singles ever in Japanese pop. Then in December, she released her 47th single "[[You Were... / Ballad|You were... / BALLAD]]". Both singles reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:lspromo.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Love_Songs_(Hamasaki_Ayumi)|Love songs]]'' (2010)]] <br />
<br />
On July 14th, 2010 Hamasaki released her 48th single, "[[Moon / Blossom|MOON / blossom]]". The single reached #1 on the [[Oricon]] charts and is the first in a special release project of three singles leading up to her 50th single. The 49th single "[[Crossroad (Hamasaki Ayumi)|crossroad]]" was released on September 22nd, 2010 and the 50th single, "[[L (Hamasaki Ayumi)|L]]", was released one week later on September 29th. Her twelfth studio album, ''[[Love Songs (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Love songs]]'', was released in late December.<br />
<br />
Both Hamasaki and avex president [[Wikipedia:Max_Matsuura|Max Matsuura]] confirmed via Twitter that ''[[Ayu-mi-x 7 Presents Ayu Trance 4|ayu-mi-x 7 presents ayu trance 4]]'' (Hamasaki's first trance remix album since 2003) was in the works. The album was released in March 30, 2011, and three more remix albums were released on the same date. All the albums were compiled on the special release ''[[Ayu-mi-x 7 -Limited Complexe Box Set-|ayu-mi-x 7 -LIMITED COMPLETE BOX SET-]]'', also released on March 30.<br />
<br />
On January 1, 2011, Hamasaki revealed through her TeamAyu blog that she would be marrying Austrian model/actor Manuel Schwartz (aka Mannie), who appeared in several of the [[PV|music videos]] from ''[[Love Songs (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Love songs]]''. On January 2nd it was announced that the couple had officially married at an obscure chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada.<br />
<br />
===~POWER of MUSIC~, 2nd Mini-Album, A CLIP BOX 1998-2011 and divorce===<br />
<br />

<br />
After the release of ''[[Love Songs (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Love songs]]'', Hamasaki planned to go with her ''ARENA TOUR 2011 A ~HOTEL Love songs~'' to promote her album, but due to the Earthquake Disaster she felt that she needed a new concept on her show so she went on tour with ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki ~Power Of Music~ 2011 A Limited Edition|~POWER of MUSIC~ 2011 A]]'', a less commercial and more classic and intimate show that didn't aim to promote ''[[Love Songs (Hamasaki Ayumi)|Love songs]]''.<br />
<br />
In August of 2011, Hamasaki released ''[[Five (Hamasaki Ayumi)|FIVE]]'', her first mini-album in eight years. It reached #1 on the Oricon charts and sold 213,495 copies to date. Almost three months later the mini-album was released in a Blu-ray format, being this the first time she released an album on this format. <br />
<br />
On January, 01, 2012, Hamasaki released ''[[A Clip Box 1998-2011|A CLIP BOX 1998-2011]]'', containing all her [[PV|music videos]] from 1998 to 2011 and also some bonus material like director's interviews.<br />
<br />
One year after her marriage, on January, 16, 2012, Hamasaki herself made a statement about getting a divorce due to her impossibility to live in USA since the Earthquake Disaster occurred on March, 11, 2011. She said that she felt rooted to Japan and couldn't leave the country in times like these so she choose her homeland instead of her marriage.<br />
<br />
Hamsaki Ayumi's song "[[Evolution (Hamasaki Ayumi)|evolution]]" released back in 2001, will be used as the theme of the new [[Sawajiri Erika]] movie ''[[Helter Skelter (movie)|Helter Skelter]]''. The movie hit theaters on July 14th.<br />
<br />
===Party Queen, decrease in sales and relationship with Maro===<br />
<br />
[[File:pqpromo.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting ''[[Party Queen]]'' (2012)]]<br />
<br />
On February 8th it was released her third digital single, ''[[How Beautiful You Are|how beautiful you are]]'', followed one month later by her 13th studio album ''[[Party Queen]]'', being this the first time that she released an album without promotional physical singles. ''Party Queen'' was her second album not to reach the first position on the Oricon charts, and was also unable to sell over 100,000 copies on its debut week. To promote it she went on with the ''ARENA TOUR 2012 A ~HOTEL Love songs~'', a re-imagined version of the previous postponed show to fit with her new album concept.<br />
<br />
On August 8th her sixth compilation album was released, ''[[A Summer Best|A SUMMER BEST]]'', and also failed to reach the first position on [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
On November 14th Hamasaki made an update on her TeamAyu blog stating that she was in a serious relationship with her dancer Maro, who was featured on her "[[You & Me (Hamasaki Ayumi)|You & Me]]" [[PV|music video]]. On the next day Maro then confirmed the news on his own blog.<br />
<br />
===15th Anniversary===<br />
<br />
[[File:abestlive.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Hamasaki promoting the ''15th Anniversary TOUR ~A BEST LIVE~'']]<br />
<br />
In the end of 2012, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of her musical career Hamasaki announced that she would release five items on the eighth day of each month (due to Hamasaki's debut single "[[Poker Face|poker face]]" being released on an eighth day). Her third mini-album, ''[[Love (Hamasaki Ayumi)|LOVE]]'', was the first release, the second was her fourth mini-album, ''[[Again (Hamasaki Ayumi)|again]]''. ''[[A Classical|A Classical]]'', an orchestral remix album was the third release, while the fourth was her 14th studio album, ''[[Love Again (Hamasaki Ayumi)|LOVE again]]''. On March 8, 2013, she released the DVD and Blu-ray of ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2012 A ~Hotel Love Songs~|ARENA TOUR 2012 A ~HOTEL Love songs~]]'', being this the last of all five items. It was later announced the benefit of 5 consecutive monthly releases. Anyone who purchased all five items would get the chance to download an exclusive commemorative song on April 8. Furthermore, special gifts and goods like handwriting lyrics, personalized autographs, personal items from Hamasaki, tickets for the ''15th Anniversary TOUR ~A BEST LIVE~'' and wallpapers would be distributed for those who entered in the promotion. Two winners of the promotion, and this will only be available for the official fanclub members, would feature on the chorus of a new song to be released in 2013. <br />
<br />
On April 8, 2013 the video recording of ''[[Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2012-2013 A ~Wake Up~|COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012-2013 A ~WAKE UP~]]'' will be released and right after that, on April 13, Hamasaki will initiate her ''15th Anniversary TOUR ~A BEST LIVE~''. To choose the setlist for the show a special website was put online so anyone could vote for 3 songs per-day; all of her released songs were available for voting. On April 3rd the voting results were released consisting of 50 songs, including her only single that was never performed live, "[[Kanariya (Hamasaki Ayumi)|kanariya]]". It was also announced that the title of the commemorative song would be "[[Tell All]]".<br />
