Ayumi Hamasaki & Namie Amuro

Well, before everything, I just wanna make clear that this post is not a war between them, their fans, etc. My intention is not to disrespect or offend anyone.


I'm really intrigued by their relationship, if there ever was one. I read long time ago that they didn't like each other. I even read they said pretty nasty things to each other. I don't remember well, but something like "she looks like a monkey with makeup" but I don't know who addressed that to who. The thing is, this popped into my mind recently so I tried to do some research. I couldn't find anything. Most of the stuff I found was polls, people asking who they prefer or like more in forums and things like that.

I just started this post so if somebody recalls something, remembers anything(I read it long long time ago) or can actually provide any evidence that would be great.

This intrigues me a lot. I love both of them and actually, knowing that they dislike each other wouldn't change a single thing for me, but it's weird for me since in the west, the media would have blown out of proportions and make a big deal out of it, but in this case, it doesn't seem so that's why I sometimes doubt if there was a feud.

Better not listen to rumors. These things were never official or real.

Things that are real are things like namie going to ayu's shows on recent years and a couple of years ago ayu wrote on twitter that she respects namie as her senior when she was asked if she disliked her.

They probably never hated each other.

thanks for the answer!

I always read that stuff on forums, never a single evidence was provided.

Wowo apparently I found the tweet: https://twitter.com/ayu_19980408/status/24840288483
I wonder how would that person bring up about Ayu hating Namie.

I remember this too, Ayu was referred to as "the make-up monster" by Namie. It was just some tabloid thing though.

Namie saw Ayu live on 2 or 3 different concerts, so, I guess Namie likes Ayu.

Ayu also said in interviews that she respects Namie... And wasn't there something about Ayu actually going to Namie's concerts a long time ago? I can't really remember.

If anyone on the jpop market knows how cruel their market and the media can be, it's those women... The fact that they survived the industry all those years alone probably makes one respect the other.

I think it's just fan/haters spreading rumors.
Those girls are probably too busy counting their money to actually give a fuck about each other.

if ayu said she respect namie, it's not the same as she likes her...
it's more like... i'm not interested in her... (sounds like this for me)

I think it's 95% rumors 5% true.

They maybe respect each other. But I also don't think they're enemies as fans says neither . Maybe they actually called each other monkey and monster long ago, but things can change who knows.

I doubt they think much of each other cause why should they. And they are also completely different, they both do pop, but it's different pop

Everything you read on forums is just that, stuff on forums, with no basis whatsoever. It's completely made up drama from immature fans that want to cause drama.

Ayu has said that she respect Namie on twitter (a long time ago) And Namie has been spotted at ayumi's tours more than once.

Honestly my opinion would be that they probably don't pay attention to each other at all, and I don't mean that in bad way, I imagine that they're in completely different worlds.

...how? how could possibly think that.

In japanese culture when someone says とんでもない。尊敬する大先輩ですm(_ _)m which roughly translates as she's my senior and I respect her then a bow emoticon "m(_ _)m " it usually means somehting more than "i'm not interested in her"

I don't think they are bestest friends, but I don't think they dislike each other, either. At the very least, at this point in time, they respect each other as label mates and artists, evidenced by their comments on one another and the attendance of the others concerts. I don't think they ever disliked each other, even way back in the day, but that's harder to determine.

Bha... It doesn't seem like they dislike each other at all. I hope they don't.
I honestly never heard any (valid) news about these two being at each other's throats.
