Our first single to get the boot...
Coming in at #70 is...







#70 - "For My Dear..." (1998) Highest Score: 6 // Lowest Score: 1 // Average Score: 3.3



"For My Dear... is Hamasaki Ayumi's fourth single. For My Dear... was used as the Morinagaseika "Merenge Chocola" CM song. This single reached #9 on the Oricon charts, charted for seven weeks and sold a total of 74,440 copies.
The single was re-released in 2001 on a 12cm format with extra remix songs. This time around the single reached #33 and charted for two weeks.

The music video for For My Dear... was directed by Odagami Hiromitsu. The video features Hamasaki sitting in a bar watching people come and go. The video then follows a few of the visitors as they leave. The video also switches to a heavens gate scene where Hamasaki sings." (from generasia)

This one was a real clonker and I'm glad that it was the first one to go ><

#69 - "Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~" (2009) Highest Score: 9 // Lowest Score: 2 // Average Score: 4.5

I really like Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ but I knew it wouldn't last in this competition.

#67 - "poker face" (1998) Highest Score: 9 // Lowest Score: 1 // Average Score: 4.9



"poker face is Hamasaki Ayumi's debut single. poker face was used as the opening theme song for CDTV during March. On her first day of recording, Hamasaki's grandmother passed away (and is the reason Hamasaki now dislikes the song). After hearing the recording, Hamasaki was displeased with the lyrics and re-wrote them. Her first draft of the song has yet to be released. The single reached #20 on the Oricon charts, charted for six weeks and sold a total of 43,140 copies.
The single was re-released in 2001 on a 12cm format with extra remix songs. This time around the single reached #31 and charted for two weeks.

The music video for "poker face" was directed by Takeishi Wataru. The video focuses around Hamasaki standing in front for a large tree filled with television monitors that show her in various locations. It also shows her playing with animals." (from generasia)

YOU GUYS ACTUALLY VOTED OUT THE DEBUT SINGLE SO EARLY IM DISAPPOINTED

[Delirium-Zer0]

Well it IS her debut single. By definition it's gonna be pretty weak cuz she didn't even KINDA find her "groove" yet at that point.

[jeffycue]

you should at least place the average score. im dying to know! so exciting to know ranks by us members. hehehe.

[chikocchi]

#66 - "LOVE ~Destiny~" (1999) Highest Score: 10 // Lowest Score: 1 // Average Score: 5.1




"LOVE ~Destiny~ is Hamasaki Ayumi's seventh single. Both LOVE ~Destiny~ and LOVE ~since 1999~ have the same melody, which was composed by Tsunku. LOVE ~since 1999~ also had lyrics by Tsunku and was a duet sung with him. The songs were the sub-theme and main theme, respectively, for the dorama Semidouble. This single reached #1 on the Oricon charts (her first single to do so) and stayed on the charts for a total of twenty-six weeks. It sold 650,790 copies, becoming the #30 single of 1999.
The single was re-released in 2001 on a 12cm format with extra remix songs. This time around the single reached #20 and charted for four weeks.

The music video for "LOVE ~Destiny~" was directed by Takeishi Wataru. It shows Hamasaki recording songs, writing lyrics, facing her fans, and singing against a night sky." (from generasia)

And her first #1 single is shot in the foot...
I really love this ballad and to this date it's one of my favorites so it pains my heart to see it die so quickly :'(
But with the scores people eitehr loved it or hated it XDXD
