Ayumi Hamasaki: I’m only human

Artistes and their popularity come and go like the wind in the ever-changing land of entertainment, with few managing to retain their foothold for long. Ayumi Hamasaki has reigned as the uncontested Empress of J-Pop even in the midst of countless debuts every year.

The 36-year-old will be in town next month for a-nation Singapore – her second performance on our little red dot in her 16-year career. Joining her for the music festival will be fellow Japanese acts m-flo, Sonar Pocket, Wagakki Band and Taiwan’s Aaron Yan.

In an email interview with xinmsn, the newly-hitched entertainer opened up about the pressures she has faced during her career, changes in herself after tying the knot and gave a sneak peek of what to expect for her upcoming performance on October 18.

Ayumi wedded a 26-year-old American medical student in February after ending things with then-husband Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz in 2012. Her previous marriage lasted about a year. Her ex-boyfriend, Uchiyama Maroka, publically blamed the singer for his misfortunes after his career as a backup dancer was negatively affected by news about their relationship.

Her latest solo album, Colours, debuted at number five on Oricon charts and became the first of her studio albums that did not make it to the top three spots in its first of week. Despite criticisms from naysayers that her glory days are over, Ayumi chose instead to focus on her music and has declared that she is happy doing what she loves – music.

Thank you so much ñ_ñ !!
Ayu is truly inspirational <3.

I love what she says about Ayumi Hamasaki and evolving. It really shines light on the fact that one of her most iconic and memorable releases that she is and continues to be associated with is titled "evolution" - te song was a true foreshadowing of her career.

I saw this posted on Twitter, I really liked her answers :) Thank you for sharing it here as well!

Very informative and interesting, thanks<3
