A movie director's arrest last month for using a 12-year-old prostitute has opened up a can of worms exposing sordid details of the past of Ayumi Hamasaki, the undisputed queen of Japanese pop, according to Shukan Gendai (5/22).

Hamasaki got her first big break in the Japanese showbiz world as a support actor in the 1995 film "Sumomomomomo," directed by Akiyoshi Imazeki, the over-amorous auteur nabbed because of his preponderance for the pre-pubescent.

"Sumomomomomo" was one of Imazeki's most highly regarded works. The large number of teenage girls in the cast, including then 16-year-old Hamasaki, earned Imazeki the moniker of "Maestro of Cute Little Girl Movies."

Hamasaki played a central role in "Sumomomomomo," acting as star Maki Mochida's younger sister. One scene in the movie features Hamasaki's character sniffing her sister's skirt, then advising her older sister to refrain from sex with her boyfriend, or at the very least insisting that he wear a condom.

During her mid-teens, Hamasaki played several brazen hussy roles, such as in "Nagisa no Sinbad," where she played a schoolgirl who taunted a boy she despised by slowly rubbing a vibrator across his face and neck.

"At a time when most teen idols would strive to present a pristine image, Ayumi stood out because of her willingness to play tough girl roles," Idol watcher Fuminori Takakura tells Shukan Gendai. "She was the type you could imagine really see roaming the streets of Shibuya. She was a cute girl and had a realism that was sexy."

Takakura says she was a natural choice for Imazeki, the maestro of cute little girl movies.

Never short of hawking herself, Hamasaki, according to the teenybopper expert, is not quite as keen to flog her wares when it comes to this part of her career.

"What she did then doesn't really go with the charismatic pop diva image she presents nowadays," Takakura tells Shukan Gendai. "All the details of her time as a teen idol have been eliminated from the bio she's put up on her official site."

Is this really true?
I am confused.
