Empress of Pop Ayumi Hamasaki is celebrating her 48th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.
Popular singer Ayumi Hamasaki (Duty, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 48th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Hamasaki, a cultural icon
Born in Fukuoka on October 2, 1978, Ayumi Hamasaki's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Japanese history. Hamasaki's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Ayumi hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ayumi Hamasaki as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 48.
Happy Birthday, Ayumi, you're the best!
