Secret, six years later

[Bigtop]

Remember November 29, 2006? That was the release of ayu's eighth studio album (and the last before the streak was broken), "Secret".

This was the first album I've ever listened to in terms of not only Ayumi Hamasaki, but also Japanese pop in general. Yep, this was the album that started my Japanese pop craze, and that has been going on for six years.

And the reason why: I was checking Wikipedia...and it's all on her tattoo! That got me interested into Japanese pop, and that's how I got there the first place.

I also remember when she sang the song "JEWEL" for much of her promotion; in fact, that was the song that I actually "fell in love" when I first got started knowing about Japanese pop.

Anyways, any memories that you want to share from the time we were talking about "Secret" and related stuff back six years ago (and the fact that Twitter wasn't even a talk here at that time!?)? Share us your comments here.

BONUS! Thanks Aderianu for these high-quality pictures! Just in time for the "Secret" 6th anniversary!
