Wow, ten years have gone since 'Secret'...that was the reason why I got into Ayu. Looking around randomly about Japanese culture, and then all of a sudden, Ayumi Hamasaki with that right shoulder tattoo...I got a bit more into depth with Ayu in the days, weeks and months following, and all of a sudden, it jump started my experience with J-pop. All because of 'Secret' and Ayumi Hamasaki's tattoo...if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be in the J-pop scene very much, if at all. I wouldn't know much about Ayu. Or Koda Kumi. Or Ai Otsuka. Or Johnny's groups like Arashi or KinKi Kids. Or AKB48! Or Sayuri Sugawara! Or Yanawaraba!
Man... That moment when it would eventually resulted into the J-pop hobby I've been having - for TEN YEARS... I mean, JEWEL and 1 LOVE (from the 'Secret' album) were the first songs I heard from Ayu in my whole life. Wow. First of thousands of songs in my J-pop hobby experience...
