I do not know where you got that information from but Hamasaki is her real surname.

It depends on which pronounciation the ancestor decided to take first. There are no specific rules. The number of the families whose names are "Hamazaki" and "Nakajima" is larger than that of "Hamasaki" and "Nakashima".

Thank you masa :)

wow, I mean, I read it somewhere I don't remember. I read that AYUMI HAMAZAKI is her real name, and AYUMI HAMASAKI her artist name, because Hamasaki sounds better than Hamazaki, just that

dark_hated: No, her family actually pronounces the name Hamasaki rather than Hamazaki. Some families just do. The only showbiz name she's ever taken on was Kurumi Hamasaki and that was for one TV drama.

I read once a long time ago that she found it annoying when people romanized her name as Ayumi Hamazaki because it's inaccurate to how her family's always pronounced it. (Like my name's Lauren but I hate when people spell it Loren, and my sister's name is Lindsay but because it's more common alot of people spell it Lindsey and that bugs her too.)

Just agree that the name is pronounced with an "S" and that's why it is romanized as "Hamasaki", is it hard to accept?

Hamazaki makes me want to say a totally different name (with a different first name).

It seems like my name. I don't want to reveal it here, but it is spelled with an "o" and some people pronounce it with an "a." Either way they say it, I know it's my name.

I think that "Hamazaki" with a "z" sounds weird and writes weird, but maybe I think that because we're all used to it to write and say it with an "s"
