An Ayumi Refresher Course For the Uninitiated
April 9th, 2007 by dd
The tickets to Ayumi Hamasaki’s Tour of Secret in Hong Kong this past weekend were sold out in three hours, so if you missed it, wait for the DVD. For those of you who don’t yet have Ayumi-fever and who need a refresher course on the J-Pop Super Star, here are a few facts about her:
- She has sold over 50 million records worldwide already
- She is the fourth top-selling Japanese artist in the history of Japan
- She is the first female singer to have 27 No 1 singles on the chart
- Her latest album, Secret, won the Japan Gold Disc Award for Rock/Pop Album of the Year
- A collaboration with Hello Kitty was made for the tour
- She is a fashion icon. She won three consecutive Nail Queen awards and five Best Jeanist awards. A pair of her jeans with her famous signature on the back pocket was auctioned for Yen76 million.
And the worst is, having achieved all that, she is only 29.
Check out some fun pics of Ayumi at the Hong Kong carnival as she unwinds before her Saturday concert after the jump!
