Ayumi Hamasaki

[point4m]

Well, you'd mostly have to check the artist's official website for soundsamples. Most artists have at least a few seconds of their new songs online and some even have portions of the promo-vid for those songs.

The label Ayumi is on (Avex) is a bit of an exception though. Instead, they offer a few online tv-channels, which you have to register for (and they probably cost money as well).

Thanks Twisted, that helps. I'll try that... any other musicians that anyone can suggest I look for? I'm not at all familiar with names and my music taste varies to the extreme.

I've always liked Ayumi, picked up a few of her cd's while in Japan.

 

[Miko-Kokoro]

Do you enjoy her music?

 

[blu_pengwin]

I love her remixes .....especially M(above and beyond remix)...

 

[silver angel]

I thought I did. I only listened to her because everyone I knew thought she was awesome. I kinda don't like how she lays the vibrato really thick. You can always tell when it's one of her songs when you hear that vibrato. I guess I don't like her.

 

[okaeri_man]

she loves her vibrato doesn't she. i don't notice it at first, but now i find it impossible to miss. (well it's not bad, she's a good singer, just a little less wouldn't hurt)

 

[budd]

it's trance. i don't hate it

 

[Apollo]

I like her songs, especially the remixes! Good for PARTIES! :music2: :music:

I have three cds with Ayumi and tonz of her songs on mp3.

 

[Miko-Kokoro]

Yeah, she does but I like her singing voice, but yeah..the vibration she uses does get a little nerving..

 

[december]

I like a few of her songs. I haven't heard it all but I've been less interested in her since her plastic surgery. ☝

 

[Twisted]

I liked her first album "A song for XX", which was straightforward 80's pop. After that her producers started doing weird things. Her remixes are awesome though.

 

[sugarbasil]

I absolutely LOVE her music!! My favorite J-pop artist! Her newest stuff is my favorite, personally. GAME and Inspire, along with Because of You are AMAAAAZING!! I just love her stuff!!! The vibration thing... yeah, it does get annoying at times, but I think it can really add to the effect sometimes. Not always, but sometimes. I dunno, her voice may not be as great as say Utada's, but just the rhythm and beat are awesome.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents...

Just got it in the mail today. First print CD+DVD with "On My Way" photobook.

So far, so good (just listening to it now)...

 

[Yokan]

Hmm, is it good? I'm not the best ayu Fan but know she is very talanted, I like the album she did with all her songs orchestrated! ^^ well the most famous ones anyway.

 

[-rika- shinya`]

the album i like most of ayumi is still My Story.. i like all the songs from that album. so many of the songs from this album were already released earlier as singles so..it wasn't exactly new for me. the song i probably like the most[outside of those singles] is miss understood itself.

I like it. I've listended a few times now. Though not as catchy as some of her earlier works, I can tell it's going to grow on me quickly.

The DVD is cool, too. 9 music videos plus making of for a few of the videos.

Who luvs Ayumi Hamasaki?

I dont know about you people but i luv any songs by Ayumi Hamasaki. She is one of my favorite j-pop singers.

 

[kamaru]

Are u asking if anyone loves the J-POP QUEEN!!
Btw here's another pic:

 

[Davey]

Thread merged, please use the search button . thanks

Not a lot of Ayumi fans in here? Why? I mean she is/was the queen of Japan

 

[Anchyyy]

That's because she's a pop musician Only kidding. I don't like her very much. I like the silent night she was singing with Gackt and another song, but i can't remember the title ☝ Butterfly or something... I really can't remember

 

[Nana007]

Butterfly is a Koda Kumi song. Ayumi is alright if not slightly overated.

 

[butterbrickle]

I think Ayu is simply awesome. I recently got into her and realized that Jpop was just as good as Jrock, if not better. Does anyone know where I can listen to Ayu's songs online for free? Like Myspace? Avex is removing the Ayu pvs on Youtube and that was my main source of Ayuness. I esp. like songs like New Game and Evolution.

Hmm, I've noticed that both Ayu and Gackt like to put vibrato on every. single. note. I guess that's a prerequisite to being a major pop idol.

 

[Gaze_rocks]

I have the Ayumis cd My Story <: Its awesome. <3 Best song from Ayumi is About you i think <3

 

[Davey]

her new single is expected the end of this month... Go Ayumi!

 

[jRus]

I need some more music by Ayumi really much. If anyoen has any where I can download it for free can you please pm me? ^_^ THANKS
