Ayumi Hamasaki

Anyone here ever heard of her or listen to any of her stuff? Very melodic and some really nice stuff esp. 'Trust'. Ferry, Armin and some other people have done remixes for her too.

I've heard lots of remixes of Ayu tracks, some good, some even better and some worse than warm d0ggie p00. I'm not a huge fan of her singing so i usually prefer instrumentals if available. In some tracks her vocals work for me tho, like in M (Above & Beyond Vocal Mix). Some of my favs are:

Whatever (Ferry Corsten Non-Vox Mix)
Unite! (Airwave mixes/Moogwai Dub)
Fly High (Vincent de Moor mixes)
Appears (Armin van Buuren's Sunset Dub)
M (Above & Beyond mixes)
Hanabi (Lange mixes) >> feck, i'm soo pissed at Avex (the label) for not giving this a full release, not even Lange himself got a copy.

I wouldn't expect too much new stuff out of her...

her popularity in Japan is falling at an exponential rate.

I don't much like her music, just a few tracks. I just think she's damn cute!

i've got some weird ass classical meets edm stuff with her vocals on it. damn weird.

however the following are ch00ns~!

Ayumi Hamasaki - Connected (Push Club Mix)
Ayu - M (Above And Beyond Typhoon Dub Mix)

ojea, the connected song is a hellofa good one !
Anyone of you know of any similar songs to that?

i know, it was not like you didn't see it comming, avex's campaign strategy was massive and it took it's toll on the recordbuyers, i mean jesus, during her big period (like 2002) avex released a new thing every month and they expected that people would buy it all, i mean my wallet said stop. i think several else did, plus her songs started to get really boring, memorial address was really a disapointment, her new album is also a dissapointment. i don't particulary like her much anymore. anyhow, my fav remixes

girlish (Scanty Sandwich Dub)
appears (Armin van Buuren's Rising Star Vocal Mix)
teddy bear (Hybrid Instrumental)
End of the World (The Orb's 12" nigh laddy Mix)
UNITE! (No.1 Blueberry Wonderful)
vogue (Junkie XL Computer Hell Vocal Mix)
Depend on you (44XL Dub)
Whatever (Ferry Corsten Dub)
Daybreak (Lost Witness Rising Sun Mix)
Connected (Push Club Mix)
I am... (Transtic Break Mix)
kanariya (Jonathan Peters Vocal Mix)
Naturally (album version) // always liked this track more than the remixes, feisty breaks number, but the track was like just begging for remixes, like from way out west

Mmm.... Dumonde's remix of Trauma kicks ass, their best work imo

Glad to know some of u are/were into her. I was 1 during her early-mid peak. And I really mean it; I was into everything of hers. It was great 'worshipping' her during e days lol but your wallet will always go nuts as avex releases singles every fking 1 or 2 mths. And tonnes of misc cd releases like those remixes 1. NOT easy to keep up with but somehow i managed to I had big&small posters on the wall of my room & 50 over cds of hers i believe. She was here in SG once for the MTVAA. Still remember how mad we local fans here chased her around in SG like the paparazzi
Maybe I was just young
Those who said she looks damn cute: YEP!

Honestly speaking, I'm lazy to do so... better for u to google search or something as Alexan has done so for u. She has wayyyy many styles, that is y she's the japanese version of madonna.

Ayumi Hamasaki - Trauma (Dumonde Remix)
Ferry Corsten & Ayumi Hamasaki - Connected
Ayumi Hamasaki - Fly High (Vincent De Moor Remix)
Ayumi Hamasaki - Depend On You (Svenson & Gielen Remix)
Ayumi Hamasaki - A Song For XX (Ferry Corsten Chill Out Mix)

These are the best tunes from Ayumi Hamasaki IMO

PS:Notice that there is no original mix,all of them are remixes or in the case of Connected she was featured,lol
