Well there's the picture and it reads "Ayumi Hamasaki" in the cover :E It looks like an old book..

It also reads 'sakusesu' (success) which is immediate proof that this is the most official book ever released with the name Ayu on it.

:yes :yes :yes :yes :yes :yes :yes :yes

It probably has loads of pictures, hence so big lol XD

It says it's about her life prior to her debut as "Utahime".

^Thx for the transalation :b

Lol, "Utahime"... sounds like some Transformer to me XD

(yes, I know it's princess of singing/music ;) )

You got a point there about the Transformers thing...hehe maybe it's cause uta reminds you of ultra?
