HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO AYUMI HAMASAKI!!

Her birthday actually was yesterday, 2nd Oct. She has finally turned 29 this year! I've fallen in love with her music since I was pri 5 with the influence of my pri-sch classmates at that time. Even though I always being asked by my friends, why do I like her so much despite the fact that I don't even understand Japanese language, I should say that I'm impressed with the way she penned her thoughts into her lyrics and her unique vocals which set her apart from other Japanese singers. I still vaguely remembered that when I bought her album {I am...} out of my pocket money for the very first time. I bought her album out of curousity due to her unique album cover as seen below.

It depicts Hamasaki, dressed in an outfit of leaves, wandering through a sunny desert from dawn until dusk. A dove travels alongside her in each picture. The dove is rumoured to symbolize peace in respect to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This album ended up as one of my most favourite albums of her. From then onwards, I began to buy her albums everytime they are released. Below are the albums/single which I've collected for the past 5 years:



Lastly I'll support her music all the way till she retires from the Music world! HAPPY BELATED 29TH BIRTHDAY, AYU! Music Heals The World! :)
