"No one wanted to compare answers like this"

I've said it regarding her concerts as well, but since Ayu's voice became unwell, I'm a fan who stopped listening to her music before I knew it.

Since this book was being talked about so much, I bought it out of curiosity. It showcases her conflicts and anguish from before her debut until she became an artist.

I think everyone has connected her songs to their own memories. M, for example, was popular as a love song, as were others. For a love song, it's not strange for that person to have their own person in the background (to which the song is written). But personally, I didn't want us to be comparing answers like this. If you'd like to leave these memories as memories, I wouldn't recommend reading this book.

"My tears didn't stop"

As someone around Hamasaki Ayumi's age, it made my heart hurt to find out that even she couldn't have what she really wanted, even as a great singer who was so cute at the time, and seemed like she could get anything she wanted. However, I think exactly because she had those experineces she was able to write those lyrics that can make you cry. I'm moved thinking about the drama behind the songs that seemed to sell so quickly. Even though people are saying that releasing this book now (after all these years) is cringey, knowing this background makes the songs we listen to deeper, making me want to listen to Hamasaki Ayumi's music again. To have met someone you love this much, be able to create a life together, and create a relationship that you couldn't show as lovers or through a marriage, I think it's a wonderful life.

"Who is this book for?"

A lot of TV programs today kept talking about this today so I read it. I finished it instantly. The content is lacking and flimsy. If you were enough of a fan, this was common knowledge. It's just written as a dramatization and made to be moving, and dishonest with its vague writing style making you question what's fiction and what's nonfiction. The writer's position isn't clearly established. As a bonus, Hamasaki Ayumi appears on the last page as if to make an excuse for this book. Who is this book written for? This is the first time I've seen a book that disregards its fans this much.
