She said it was because she didn't trust people. But as she got older and her career went on, then she started to let her team have more control.
I even recall her making arrangements choices on ASFXX (album).
Well, so far she didn't record any song on the drama, she just wrote some lyrics.

Okay but still... If she's really portrayed like a puppet it doesn't fit and it's really annoying. Hope it will change quickly and that it's just something changed to add more to the narration and character arc.

So I watched the first epi and as ridiculous as the show is I do agree with what Max had said “I could listen to you sing forever.”. This is what I am always thinking when I’m attending her shows.

Kalen running and crying makes the whole drama worth watching already.

Anyone else find it odd that Masa has a iMac G3 on his desk but they weren't released until August 1998? Yet the drama seems to be leading up to Ayu's debut in April 1998.

The drama doesn't seem to be following what was happening in real life like ayu already having 2001 short blonde hair during predebut era

One of my friends pointed this out to me the moment he saw it too. xD I would have never noticed haha. I knew they came out in the late 90s but that’s it.

I think it’s funny how Ayu’s aunt is the only one that looks 90s ish. Everyone else is void of basically any aspect of 90s fashion lol.

Adding to @attractive nausea's post, here's the whole 40 minutes long video of the Ayumi Hamasaki Special, in case anyone feels like checking it out.

There are some really funny & cute moments in there.




Also I was wondering, is it a general thing not to film the whole drama before it airs?

OMG She can ride a bike. AND Wasn’t she the one hating liars the most? Lol
Thanks for the video, I saw parts of it like 10 years ago. Can’t believe I actually learned Japanese and can understand now. Feeling proud.

I could see it having been played up on HEYx3 at the time because it's just funnier.

@Katsuyuki012
This was the video I had in mind when saying she was acting dumb early on during her avex career.
She seems really natural here. I don't understand a bit but she has definitely personality. Far from the passive and annoying yes girl they seem to portray in the drama. And... what a beauty already. Amazing features.

She also lied about the bikini thing (I think it was mentioned on forum not too long ago), haha.
But well, we know how ayu feels about that time in her life.

By the way, I just made a Spotify playlist with the Avex's original version of all featuring songs in order of appearance until episode 3:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1w...Tga2hYUZiPogvw

All songs are available with an international Spotify account, except:
- "Yumemiru Shoujo Ja Irarenai" by Nanase Aikawa
- "Itoshisato Setsunasato Kokoro Zuyosato" by Ryoko Shinohara with t.komuro
(you need a Japanese Spotify account to listen them)

Some artists are not available in Spotify Japan, so I added popular covers:
- "Yureru Omoi" by Zard (actually by SARD UNDERGROUND)
- "Sekaijū no Dare yori Kitto" by Miho Nakayama & WANDS (actually by Noriko Sakai)

Do you think I must add covers, or just ignore them?

If you miss any song, please let me know!
