- Information
"poker face" is the debut single released by Hamasaki Ayumi. The song "poker face" was used as the CDTV opening song. On her first day of recording, Ayumi's grandmother passed away (and is the reason Ayumi now dislikes the song). After hearing the recording Ayumi was displeased with the lyrics and re-wrote them. Her first draft of the song has yet to be released. The single reached #20 on the Oricon charts and stayed on the charts for a total of six weeks. The single sold 11,520 copies during it's first weeks on the charts, and has since sold a total of 43,140 copies.
The single was re-released on 2001.02.28 in a 12cm format with new remixes of the song. This time around the single reached #31 on the Oricon charts and only stayed on the charts for two weeks.
