浜崎あゆみ:first impressions

I had just gave up on music after becoming worn out by Britney Spears.
I was searching for someone new to like, when I heard of a girl named Ayumi Hamasaki. I downloaded a few songs (ever free, seasons, trauma) and not only was her voice fresh and new, but the emotion she put into each song was limitless, not to mention the amazing compositions. I had never heard pop music better than that. Now here I am. :|
