088 Ayumi Hamasaki

Practitioners in any professional field can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is realists, who work hard in this field to obtain material or reputational gains; and the other category is idealists, who

It is to work hard to realize the self-worth in the heart. Artists are no exception to this profession. For example, Lin Junxiu works hard in the entertainment industry for money; but the short girl in front of him probably really works for his dream.

Shining brightly on the stage.

Her hard work and talent soon made her known as "Sister Step" by her fans and passers-by; but later she was ridiculed as "Haqi" because of problems with her voice that caused defects in her pitch. No matter what

Whether she is "Ayumi" or "Hasaki", she is still the Ayumi Hamasaki who sings and performs seriously on the stage. Even if one of her ears is deaf and the other has hearing loss due to various reasons, even if she

Although her voice has been irreparably damaged due to long-term overuse, she will stubbornly insist on "real singing" on stage. Lin Junxiu even feels that she is ready to die on stage.

Although the first single "Poker Face" that made Hamasaki famous was released on April 8, 1998, Hamasaki's acting career can be traced back even earlier. In 1993, Hamasaki, who was in the second grade of junior high school, joined

A modeling agency. But before that, she would take some advertising shooting jobs for local magazines or shops.

After signing with a model agency, Hamasaki debuted as an actress. However, Hamasaki did not achieve success in the actress circle, so in 1995 she signed with Gurung Meiya Records and released her first single under the stage name Ayumi.

The song "NOTHING FROM NOTHING". However, the style of this single was too avant-garde and was basically American rap, so it failed miserably in sales.

Since Ayumi Hamasaki had basically accomplished nothing as an actor, and his transformation as a singer was a huge failure, the company put Ayumi in cold storage. Until he was discovered by Katsuto Matsuura, who was a music producer at the time, and then brought him to Aihui Records. From then on, Hamasaki

Only with further development can we embark on a bright road.

It can be said that in the Japanese music scene in the first half of 1999, the most popular male singer was Lin Junxiu. One of the three singles has already confirmed a million sales, and the other two are very likely to obtain million certification within the year; while the female singer

As for the singer, of course it's Ayumi Hamasaki. Her album "A Song for ××", released on New Year's Day, has topped the Oricon Album Chart for five consecutive weeks.

This album is also certified one million, breaking the sales record for a new female singer in Japan. Although one of the two has a single million certification and the other has an album certified one million, in terms of gold content, the album certified one million is more powerful. Because

In terms of price alone, the selling price of the album can scare away at least more than half of the single buyers. In the words of the fan circle, single sales are supported by junior fans, while album sales are supported by core fans.

.So if we really want to compare the number of fans and support, Lin Junxiu’s fans will only be killed instantly if they get in front of Ayumi Hamasaki.

"Hamasaki-senpai, my mother and I also moved here at the beginning of the year." Lin Junxiu said.

"What's a senior but not a senior? Just call me 'sister'." Hamasaki's family background was not very good when he was a child, and he had an irresponsible father. Therefore, Hamasaki went out to work at a very young age to supplement the family income, and he stayed around all year round.

Society naturally makes Hamasaki's character quite a "social person".

But Lin Junxiu knows that Ayumi Hamasaki is a very good person to the people around her, and her team has been working together for one or twenty years. She will almost never fire people on her team, even if they want to

She always bless them when they change jobs. It can be said that Ayumi Hamasaki has a "big sister" character in her temperament.

"Would you like to come to my house and try out my new karaoke machine? I guarantee there are not many of them in Japan."

During the days when she was refrigerated by the company, Hamasaki passed the time by singing in KTV, so singing karaoke was one of her hobbies.

"Uh, okay." Lin Junxiu agreed after thinking for a moment.

On the one hand, this is an invitation from my seniors, and it would be very rude for me to refuse. On the other hand, it is also because my mother, Lin Zhimei, should still be at the company at this time, so I am quite bored at home. And now that I have grown up, I have not yet

I've been to the young lady's room. Fortunately, Lin Junxiu is still a junior high school student. If he were a high school student, I guess Hamasaki would not invite him to sing alone no matter how brave he was.

Hamasaki's room is decorated in a very Hamasaki style, very Japanese fashion. I have to say that the girl in front of me will be the "fashion guru" in the eyes of female high school students in Japan and even Asia in the next ten years. Hamasaki

As for what color to dye your hair, all the hair salon owners will urge the TONY teachers in the store to learn it the next day. If you can’t learn it, get out!

The manicure trend led by Ayumi Hamasaki was still a favorite of many girls in the 2010s, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in becoming popular in the 2020s. There are also labels such as Hamasaki Ayumi's "flaxen hair color" and "wheat skin color"

, has become the fashion element that girls most yearn for and that is the most difficult to control. Once this kind of hair color and skin color that is exclusive to Hamasaki Ayumi is not perfected, it will immediately change from a fashion godmother to a fashion yeast, and it will be a disaster in minutes.

"I also bought Junxiu-kun's singles." Hamasaki Ayumi specially showed the packaging box she placed next to the CD player.

"Thank you Ayumi for liking it. Next time there is a single, I will be the first to deliver it." Seeing the marks on the packaging box, Lin Junxiu knew that Hamasaki really liked his single and listened to it a lot.

Quite a few.

"Your song "Sunny Summer Sunday" would be better if a girl sang it." Ayumi Hamasaki commented with some emotion, "If I have a chance to hold a concert in the summer, Junxiu must sing this song."

The song was licensed to me."

Lin Junxiu was so frightened by Hamasaki's comments that he broke into a cold sweat. As expected, "plagiarism" cannot be hidden from professionals. "Sunny Summer Sunday" is originally a female song, although Lin Junxiu did a lot of work in arranging and writing lyrics.

There have been a lot of modifications, but they still can't cover up the original powder flavor.

Lin Junxiu wiped the sweat silently in his heart, and then said with a smile: "If Sister Bu likes it, just say hello to me when the time comes. This kind of thing is easy to talk about."

"That's good!" Hamasaki Ayumi was also very happy, "By the way, I heard that you plan to retire temporarily during the summer vacation? The Japanese entertainment industry is very cruel. If you leave for half a year, I'm afraid not many people will come back.

Remember. Look at me, in order to ensure popularity, I have to release a single almost every quarter. Now, in July, I will release a single again."

If Lin Junxiu remembers correctly, the next single Hamasaki will release in July is known as her early masterpiece "Boys & Girls". This single can be regarded as setting a record, because this single

It contains a total of ten songs, including several remixed versions of the title song.

According to convention, Japanese singles usually consist of two songs plus the accompaniment of these two songs, a total of four songs. As a result, Hamasaki broke the convention and expanded the capacity of the single to 10 songs. Except for this break from convention

In addition to this approach, Hamasaki Ayumi's single and Suzuki Ami's single "Be Together" were released at the same time, and the two singers were very close in positioning, so the record companies behind both parties launched a "battle"

marketing".

You know, for fans, idols like Hamasaki Ayumi and Suzuki Ami who have similar styles and similar positioning are like mortal enemies. If the idols have different positioning, fans generally don't say they are willing to cooperate, but at least they won't.

Take the initiative to tease. But Hamasaki Ayumi and Suzuki Ami are the first mortal enemies in the Japanese singer era. Fans of both sides are eager to steadily surpass each other in sales.

Naturally, the record companies behind the singers were happy to see the results, so they spread the word in different media, arousing the anger of fans on both sides to the highest level. In the end, both singers' records achieved excellent sales. And Bin

Qiyu's Aihui Records and Suzuki Ami's Sony Records each included the other on the list of "mortal enemies", and since then there have been several record sales wars between the two.

Originally, this kind of promotion method was beneficial to both parties, as long as both parties were strong enough. As a result, before the "JK Leader Battle" between Hamasaki Ayumi and Suzuki Ami had gone through a few rounds, Suzuki Ami's agency committed suicide.

Tax issues were reported. Originally, Sony wanted to take over Ami Suzuki's management contract, but Ami's management company thought it was not a big problem and refused to give up the contract. In the end, it dragged a generation of girl singers to death, leaving Ayumi Hamasaki to step on

Suzuki Ami's corpse came to power, and the subsequent Diva War was between Hamasaki Ayumi and Utada Hikaru. Suzuki Ami remained in obscurity until the golden age of the Diva era passed and she still did not become famous.

In the original time and space, Hamasaki Ayumi should be in love with TOKIO's Nagase Tomoya at this time, and Suzuki Ami is about to have an affair with Takizawa Hideaki. Speaking of which, the two can be regarded as the "sister-in-law" of Johnny & Associates.

"Lo". In this time and space, Hamasaki Ayumi is Lin Junxiu's neighbor, and Suzuki Ami is Lin Junxiu's good friend. I wonder if the media will explode when they find out.

Lin Junxiu played at Hamasaki Ayumi's house for almost two hours. The pink karaoke machine she customized for herself was too much for boys to appreciate. As for the microphone studded with rhinestones, Lin Junxiu only thought it was bright.

Twinkle. However, Lin Junxiu got Hamasaki's personal contact email, and was asked by Hamasaki to keep in touch every day. Lin Junxiu complained in his heart, if chatting too frequently, God knows TOKIO's Nagase Tomo will not

He will cause trouble for himself.

When Lin Junxiu and Ayumi Hamasaki said goodbye and returned home, Lin Zhimei had already arrived home. Seeing Lin Junxiu go home so early, Lin Zhimei was a little surprised. Lin Junxiu had to hand Lin Junxiu the "Weekly Bunshun" in his schoolbag.

After Naomi and Lin Naomi saw the report on the cover, they were quite surprised and said: "This time it looks very real, and there are testimonies from your insiders."

Of course Lin Junxiu knew that the reason why Shukan Bunshun's report attracted so much attention was because it produced very conclusive evidence. And when Johnny sued "Shukan Bunshun" for defamation, the Tokyo High Court and the Supreme Court of Japan both

The testimonies of these anonymous witnesses were accepted. The reason for their anonymity was that these witnesses were all underage. Originally, Johnny wanted to use the lawsuit to clear himself, but in the end, he lost the most powerful evidence.
