Biographie
Ayumi Hamasaki est née le 2 octobre 1978 à Fukuoka au Japon. Sa mère et sa grand-mère l'ont élevée, car son père a disparu quelques années après sa naissance (elle lui a d'ailleurs consacré une chanson Teddy Bear). Pour des raisons alimentaires, elle devient mannequin, mais ce métier ne lui plait guère et elle arrête un peu plus tard. C'est en boite de nuit qu'elle fera la connaissance du producteur Max Matsuura qui lui demandera de devenir chanteuse. Sa première réaction fut un non catégorique. Néanmoins il réussit à la convaincre. Elle a réalisé un séjour à New York, où elle suit des cours de chants, avant de sortir son premier single (Poker Face).
Son premier album « A Song For XX » l'a immédiatement mise sur le devant de la scène, avec ses 1 400 000 exemplaires vendus.
Elle a présenté son émission « Ayu ready » du 12 octobre 2002 au 20 mars 2004. Son contrat n'ayant pas été renouvelé, l'émission s'arrête avec la 64e émission.
Ayumi a sa propre marque de vêtements : MTRLG, une abréviation de Material Girl, qui est une référence à Madonna, son idole.
