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.)
