Ayumi Hamasaki DataBank.
Ok so here's an idea I had a few hours ago!....i was bored :tipsy LoL. So as you can see below there is like a index of all things Ayu -very much incomplete-. I was thinking though that maybe one of mods or someone could make this a sticky in the forum -not sure if Ayu-chat is the right place so feel free to move it:)-
So basically the idea is that everyone could post all those interesting little tid-bits they know about Ayu and they could be added to the databank or index or whatever... you know what i mean! Just so that anyone new -or old- to the world of Ayu -and jpop- has a run down of little facts about her! A one-stop-shop if you like! So i'm trying to include lingo like 'engrish' and 'kawaii' for those complete newbies. But still keeping it Ayu specific! There's still alot missing at the moment as this was just thrown together this morning as a draft copy of sorts, so if any of the info is wrong please feel free to post a correction! This should be as accurate as possible! So what do you all think? good idea.. bad idea?? Feel free to say what you think -i'm a toughie- :D! Anyways you'll all help right?? I'm sure we could all shock each other with the strange and wonderful facts we know about our idol, so start posting them and they will be added! And dun worry, creds will be given at the bottom of the post for all members that contribute:D! A A - Ayu's blood type. A Song For XX - Ayu's debut album, released 01.01.99, AVCD-11691.

That's pretty cool, but a little correction concerning Boss. Boss isn't a company, rather it's the brand of the coffee Ayu endorsed. The BOSS brand is owned by the company, Suntory.

Hey! You forgot to add the most important one!
On the "A" Section: Ayumi Hamasaki - The one and only No.1 female singer in Japan ! :laugh Anyway, this is a good idea...let's see what I can contribute later... ayumaria. |

Dub Master X
Remixer: Dub Master X Real name: Izumi Miyazaki Born: 1963 Nationality: Japanese Izumi Miyazaki aka Dub Master X is probably Japan's no.1 remixer. After getting a degree as a sound engineer in Tokyo, he got a job as a mixing engineer at the hot spot club "Pithecanthropus". He then joined the dub band MUTE BEAT (other members included Kazufumi "Echo" Kodama, Akihito Masui, Tabayoshi Matsunaga, Hirobumi Asamoto and Gota Yashiki) and they released 5 albums and 5 singles between 1982 and their breakup in 1990, as well as doing live gigs in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. A personal highlight for Miyazaki came in 1988 when he got to work with the creator of Dub, the late King Tubby. After MUTE BEAT disbanded, he joined MELON, a project headed by former PLASTICS member Toshio Nakanishi, as an engineer, and toured Italy and England. Miyazaki also started DJ'ing in 1983, with his base in the club MONK BERRYS in Harajuku, but he was also being hired as a scratcher and engineer for both studio recordings and live events. He was a central figure in the DJ boom in Japan together with Hiroshi Fujiwara, and actually got the reputation of being one of the top artists in the field. He and Fujiwara then got involved in the remix business, remixing songs for Kyoko Koizumi, a famous singer in Japan. He continued remixing as well as being an engineer and club DJ, and emerged as the leader in his field. In fact, he blazed new trails when he was signed to record label avex trax as a remixer in 1999. He's now viewed as the premier remixer in Japan, having worked with big names like Pizzicato Five, ELT, Namie Amuro, MAX, DA PUMP, DAI, HAL and of course Ayumi Hamasaki. His name-recognition is so wide and his remixes so popular that avex trax released a compilation of his remixes called "Dub's Music Box" (AVCD-11856). At present, Miyazaki continues to display all his talents as remixer, DJ, musical arranger, producer, recording engineer, P.A. operator & planner, composer, programmer, radio program producer and more. Additionally, Miyazaki's released a few solo albums on Colombia Records under his Dub Master X moniker. --->taken from http://hamasaki-republic.org/ ayumaria. |

ayumaria. |
I'm not sure if you'll like this idea but you might want to do this on www.wikipedia.com - it's an online encyclopedia where any one can contribute stuff...there're already some things on Ayu but we could always add more. ;)

If you would like to upload the 'databank' to this site please feel free to! But, again keep in mind the list will 'hopefully' be much more extensive in the near future so it would need to be updated. In other words, Go for it! But if you do , please keep it up to date ne?:D |
wew nice :)
|
Cool!! Thanks Rei.. and contributors!
|
Ferry Corsten - Known to have based 'Connected' from the song 'The Love I Lost', and has created several other Ayu remixes, whether it's Kanariya, A Song For XX, and Whatever.
btw, cool idea :) |

i like this idea! anyways, here's my bit: yoshio plays guitar though there's prolly more to it than that (ex. acoustic, electric, etc..i know he plays more than one) and enrique the bass player! he's funny ^^ there are others to the band but i can't remember the names....^o^
|
I'll think of things to contribute-but this is neat. Great idea.

Nothing major, but maybe you can add this:
Above & Beyond - Their well-known remix of the song "M" has topped charts across the globe. Armin van Buuren - A huge name in the trance world, he remixed Ayu's "Appears" for the Ayu-Trance CD Chameleon - A term synonymous with Ayu's ever-changing fashion and music styles. Darren Tate - Remixed Ayu's "Audience" for the Ayu-Trance CD. Dirt Devils - One of the pseudonyms of Above & Beyond, they remixed Ayu's "Voyage" for Ayu-Trance III Dumonde - Also known as JamX & DeLeon, these 2 have mixed Ayu's "Trama" for the Ayu-Trance CD. DJ Remo-con - Remixed Ayu's "Evolution" and DJ Shog - Remixed Ayu's "Depend on You" in 2003. Goldenscan - Remixed Ayu's "Evolution". H/\L - Created several remixes of Ayu's songs, including "Daybreak" and "Two of Us", among others. Also known to work with Ayu when creating several songs. Koglin & Heath - They remixed Ayu's "Immature" for the Ayu-Trance CD. Lange - Remixed Ayu's "Hanabi" for the Ayu-Trance II CD. Megara - Remixed Ayu's "Real Me" for the Ayu-Trance III CD. Moogwai - Remixed Ayu's "Unite!" Push - Remixed Ayu's "Boys & Girls" and "Connected". Ramon Zenker - Remixed Ayu's "We Wish" for the Ayu-Trance III CD. Svenson & Gielen Known to have remixed Ayu's "Depend on You" for the Ayu-Trance CD. Voodoo & Serano Remixed Ayu's "Fly High" and "Endless Sorrow" for the Ayu-Trance CD. You get the basic idea :) |
"Lyrics - All Ayu's lyrics are penned by herself, with a few exceptions. -more detailed description to come-"
arent ALL of her lyrics written byu herself,.O_o?sotsugyou shashin doesnt count cuz its not her song. |

Also yeah i was gonna add sotsugyou shashin because it features on one of her albums.. so i thought I should mention it. |
Quote:
|
wow cool!!! Great list, I'm gonna try to think of more to add to it
|
A few others:
AX Music - Variety Show CDTV (Countdown TV) - Variety show which showcases upcoming single, albums, and includes a few performances. MTVAA - MTV Asia Awards. In 2002, Ayu attended this event in Singapore and sang "M". NTV Special 2000/2004 - In this event, Ayu expessed her thoughts and feelings about her career, both past and present, to the public for the first time. |
goooosh, such an amazing idea !!!!!!! =D
|
Wow, that's a really good idea :) You should make a website for it!
|
This is a great idea. I dont think it should be on Wikipedia because then people could add false things. And ayu haters would post.
|
Another one:
The melody for the BOSS theme song is taken from Nat King Cole's song "L-O-V-E." |

This thread is getting better and better :D

D is for disabled. Write about the incident in the countdown live where she told the people to stand up.
V is for von dutch, since she wears it often. L is for Louis Vuitton (spelling??), she always has the bags or custom items. Make it like the vh1 shoe A2Z with gossip and stuff in it to make it more interesting. Oh, d is for dogs as well. Rumor has it that she requires dressing rooms for her dogs, and that people use respectful japanese to them. |
Quote:
There's a couple ideas i had though i could either... a.) put them under R for Remix and just add the complete list of people who have remixed for Ayu and 1 or 2 examples of songs. or b.) like i've sorta done already -i plan on modifying these though- just include they're names under the Ayu-trance/Ayu-mi-x/Ayu-ro-mix headings. or c.)...Suggestions are very welcome here so what do you all think I should do? |

Thanks for Von dutch and LV i'm compiling a F for Fashion heading at the moment they can go under that one :yes and yeah i wanna include 'gossip' and stuff.. but only things that can be backed up and that i have some kinda resource for.. i dun wanna write false rumors and things about Ayu.. Hopefully i'll find out more interesting stuff as i go along! just trying to get at least the basic facts up before i get into these things though.. ^_^ Thanx for you're suggestions! |

No they weren't disabled. It was said they were disabled by people who wanted to hurt ayu. Read masa's sight to learn about it. It's under the rainbow article.

Some other things. I don't know if they weren't mentioned before, but...
A (with m.c.A.T) her first song in Avex? Idol on Stage (performances: Get out of my life, Raspberry dream, heart de shoubu performed with Rieko Miura, Moon, Mizuiro no koi, Hold On Me - I don't know if they're all correct so someone: please check) her debut Hope that will help |
All lyrics are by her~
well, lyrics of LOVE ~Destiny~ was written by her but LOVE ~since 1999~ wasn't by her. Anyway, I won't count it as ayu's song... |
umm holy mother friggin crap....i gotta say you guys have seriously out done yourselves(and me for that matter) hmm how about trying to find all oter ayu fan sites and try comparing ourselves to them... to see how far we can in ayu fandom...
|
A
Actress: she has worked as an actress before joining the music world, featuring films such as "Ladies ladies" and "sumu no mo" (that title is impossible to me!) M model: she worked as a model before entering the music world, she has a book called "Terima kashii" hope this helped |
Quote:
|
wow great!
thanks for those data banks those data informed me a lot thank you very much |
Quote:
and that 'terima kasih' thing is just a postcard, i think because 'terima kasih' means 'thank you' in bahasa indonesia 'thank you' usually is in front of a postcard right? that's what i think |
no no, it is a photo book, there is te cover...
http://www.geocities.com/yuka_best/a...tphotobook.jpg ?i'm searching for the scans on line... now: http://www.taod.com/modules.php?name...i_Ayumi&page=1 |
CAROLS needs to be added to the single/PV list
just a reminder =O |
Nice~~thank you~~~~!!
|
Dearest should be added as it's an important song to ayu.
THe song she wrote specially for tomoya the song that she declared her relationship and it has the most number of live performance. I think it's 28. |
Quote:
hmmm, i always think the 'encore songs' like independent, Trauma, flower garden or Who... would get the most number because she always sing those songs in almost evry concert, right? but i dunno, that's my opinion... |
Quote:
oh, one more thing, INSPIRE was released on July 28th, three days after my birthday... |
Quote:
|
This is really amazing! *claps* great job and thanks for the info!
|
errm... not sure what you would call this
White Things: Ayumi Hamasaki likes to collect white things for her room (i read it on a site a really long time ago) And you forgot Maron! Maron (marron?) - One of Ayu's dogs. He once ate Ayu's toast off her plate when she stepped away for a minute, and is featured as a wonder dog in the Ayupan TV series. |
Quote:
sorry :P |
Wow, I don't really have anything to add that isn't there already. Thanks a lot for putting all the time and effort into that!
|
I don't know if you do this after it releases but My Story should be listed as her 7th album 12.15.04
|
there is also a MTRLB, material boy, clothing range for boys
|
Ayu has four dogs—two Chihuahuas, Crea and Melon, a Yorkie named Ringo, and Marron [the dachshund]

I haven't seem any info on NOTHING from NOTHING so I decided to write something. Sorry if there was already info on it . EDIT: Ah QT Mashi beat me ahhahah :laugh
---------------------------------------- NOTHING FROM NOTHING - AYUMI's pre-avex single featuring DOHZI-T & DJ BASS released on September 21st, 1995, a few years before she joined avex and debutted with the "poker face" single as "ayumi hamasaki". Contains 3 tracks: NOTHING FROM NOTHING, the KARAOKE version and PAPER DOLL. On December 1st, 1995, an album with the same title was released containing 5 tracks: 2 versions of NOTHING FROM NOTHING, LIMIT, PAPER DOLL and Gut it-pez. The style of the album is completely different from her actual style, mainly featuring rap with japanese mixed with english lyrics. While not an impressive work it still has a high value to her fans who are interested in listening to ayu rapping and how her voice sounded back then. |

I've updated a little with some of the stuff you guys suggested and I'll add the rest tommorow ^_^'' I'm getting sleeepy now LoL dominika842000 thanks for the info on the new PVs i can never seem to keep up with these things lol ><! ~angel*ayumi~ OMG u really are an angel!! thanx so much for all that info!! QT Mashi - lol absolutely everything helps ^__^v Thankyou for helping out! It's much apreciated! ImpactBreaker I've added your description just as it is, but I also added a little more info on the end that I found at hamasaki republic.org. I hope you don't mind!! Thans for such a detailed description, it makes this databank thing so much more accurate :yes BTW I also added a new section at the bottom of my original post dedicated to all the articles/fansites etc that people have made, cause I don't think a databank could ever really be complete without all those sorts of things. I've only put a few in so far, but hopefully add lots more tommorow. So if any of you know any cool fansites just lemme know and i'll add all them eventually. Anyways I'm falling asleep at the keyboard here, and have probably made a million typos LoL i'll fix 'em up tommorow. Thanx again guys. |

ill eventually find somethin to contribute

CMJK - Composed various Ayu songs - Catcher in the Light, everlasting dream, opening Run, and Over. (All I know of anyways)
|
This is awesome!!! It'd be great if you could add a section for random Ayumi facts that some people may not know! I've got a good one:
Ayu Factoid #1: "A Song for XX" is pronounced "A. Song for" the 'XX' seems to be censoring out a name. |
Awards: 43rd The Japan Record Award (Dearest), 44th The Japan Record Award (Voyage), 45th The Japan Record Award (No Way To Say)

This is nice! Thanks for info..

o.O she has a pet octopus?

This is such a cool thread!
SALES Okay, I'm such a single and album sales geek. This information is from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) website. The data here is certainly more reliable than those on the Oricon and Planet Chart websites, since those two charts stop counting sales numbers after the single or album has dropped out of their respective charts. The only problem is the RIAJ website is not comprehensive :( The success of singles and albums are only recorded as: gold (at least 100,000 copies sold) platinum (at least 250,000 copies sold) double platinum (at least 500,000 copies sold) triple platinum (at least 750,000 copies sold) million (at least a million copies sold) and so on and so forth. This is the data available on Ayu on the website: ALBUMS Duty - 3 million copies sold A Best - 4 million copies sold I Am... - 3 million copies sold Rainbow - 2 million copies sold A Ballads - 1 million copies sold Memorial Ballads - 1 million copies sold My Story - 1 million copies sold SINGLES Free and Easy - double platinum H - million seller (only one of 2002!) Voyage - triple platinum & - double platinum Forgiveness - platinum No Way To Say - platinum Moments - platinum Inspire - platinum Carols - platinum Step You - platinum Fairyland - platinum Heaven - platinum I'm not sure if these figures include overseas sales. Hikki's Be My Last only sold 80,000 copies during its first week on the Oricon chart, but according to the RIAJ website, it has gone double platinum!?!?!? Source: hxxp://www.riaj.or.jp AWARDS Ayu has won the highest award in Japanese music, the Japan Record Award or the Nihon Record Taisho, THREE times, the only artist to do so in the award's 46-year history. Two-time winners include Akina Nakamori, Namie Amuro, and Mr. Children, last year's winner. 42nd Nihon Record Taisho: Best Album - Duty Other Nominees: Shoso Strip by Shiina Ringo Love is the Message by Misia 43rd Nihon Record Taisho: Grand Prize - Dearest Other Noteworthy Nominees (incomplete list): Fragile by Every Little Thing Shiroi Koibito something by Kuwata Keisuke (Southern All Stars) 44th Nihon Record Taisho: Grand Prize - Voyage Other Noteworthy Nominess (incomplete list): something Sou Sou by Natsukawa Rimi Amai something something by Shimatani Hitomi 45th Nihon Record Taisho: Grand Prize - No Way To Say Other Noteworthy Nominees (incomplete list): Together by Exile Yuki no Hana by Nakashima Mika What should win the 47th Nihon Record Taisho: Heaven! Hehe :) Source: hxxp://www.jacompa.or.jp More data to come, if anyone wants it. Hope I've helped add to the databank :) |
