[Translation] [2013] ayu loses sales record to AKB48 (Article)

[BlackSilence]

what makes me think she's amazing is the fact that with years she grew: from a simple singer she became a full-time producer and mind bechind all of her works, she became involved in everything that got "ayumi hamasaki" attached to it, simply because she realized how much responsability falls on her name and her even tho it's the work of other people in her team. You can also see the improvement of her vocals and the fact that she got involved into actually composing things and becoming lyricist.
