The below is a list of all Ayu's major releases and media appearances, including music releases, home video releases, books & magazines, commercial campaigns, and radio & TV appearances. The list will be filterable by type when I learn how to make that happen.
== Types ==
=== Music Releases ===
* '''3" Single:''' Physical single releases on the 3" CD format.
* '''Album''': Original studio albums, usually including the singles that came before it (but after the previous album), between 10 and 20 tracks long.
* '''Compilation:''' Ayu-only best-ofs or themed compilation of previously released songs.
* '''Mini-Album:''' Short albums, usually between 4 and 9 songs, typically without remixes or instrumentals.
* '''Relational:''' Multi-artist compilations or releases by other artists that include tracks or performances contributed by Ayu, but where Ayu is not the primary focus of the release.
* '''Remix Album:''' Compilations of usually new & original remix versions of Ayu songs.
* '''Remix Single:''' One of Ayu's singles that focuses on remix versions and exists outside the "canon" of her main single discography; the remixes in this case are not done alongside the release of the original song, but at a later time.
* '''Single:''' Any single released on standard 5" CD format.
* '''Vinyl:''' Releases restricted to analog record formats.
* '''Reissue:''' Releases of previously-released material onto new formats, with new bonus material, or with new mastering.
=== Other Release & Event Types ===
* '''Book:''' A non-periodical publication, commercially available to the public.
* '''Collaboration Merch:''' Merchandise created by a company other than avex in collaboration with Ayumi Hamasaki.
* '''Concert:''' Full live productions, including tours and short sets at multi-artist events. Every show on a tour is not listed here; usually only the beginning and end of a tour.
* '''Home Video:''' Any VHS, VCD, DVD, or Blu-ray release where Ayu is the primary artist or celebrity depicted.
* '''Magazine:''' Periodical publications, including free publications with enough pages to be bound, but not including newspapers or free publications that are folded.
* '''Movie:''' A feature-length standalone film. Release may have been theatrical, home video only, or television only.
* '''Print CM:''' Commercial campaigns with still photos of Ayu, but without an accompanying television (or other video) component.
* '''Radio:''' Radio show appearances
* '''TV CM:''' Television commercials, including web CMs.
* '''TV Series:''' Television series in which Ayu appeared as a regular.
* '''TV Variety:''' Single appearances on a TV variety (music or comedy) show.
* '''TV Special:''' Special Ayu-focused episode of a regular TV show, or a documentary special on Ayu.

|A rather unconventional three-venues-only mini-tour showcasing the music on Ayu's (mostly)then-upcoming "Colours" album; a free CD with 2 new tracks was given out to everyone who attended (a different CD for each venue). Tour ended July 6th, after the album came out, so the last free-with-admission CD was kind of pointless imo.
|First time in awhile Ayu is on the full a-nation tour. Ends August 30th.

|ayumi hamasaki PREMIUM SHOWCASE ~Feel the love~
|Concert
|A rather unconventional three-venues-only mini-tour showcasing the music on Ayu's (mostly)then-upcoming "Colours" album; a free CD with 2 new tracks was given out to everyone who attended (a different CD for each venue). Tour ended July 6th, after the album came out, so the last free-with-admission CD was kind of pointless imo.

Latest revision as of 18:12, 15 January 2026

The below is a list of all Ayu's major releases and media appearances, including music releases, home video releases, books & magazines, commercial campaigns, and radio & TV appearances. The list will be filterable by type when I learn how to make that happen.

Types

Music Releases

  • 3" Single: Physical single releases on the 3" CD format.
  • Album: Original studio albums, usually including the singles that came before it (but after the previous album), between 10 and 20 tracks long.
  • Compilation: Ayu-only best-ofs or themed compilation of previously released songs.
  • Mini-Album: Short albums, usually between 4 and 9 songs, typically without remixes or instrumentals.
  • Relational: Multi-artist compilations or releases by other artists that include tracks or performances contributed by Ayu, but where Ayu is not the primary focus of the release.
  • Remix Album: Compilations of usually new & original remix versions of Ayu songs.
  • Remix Single: One of Ayu's singles that focuses on remix versions and exists outside the "canon" of her main single discography; the remixes in this case are not done alongside the release of the original song, but at a later time.
  • Single: Any single released on standard 5" CD format.
  • Vinyl: Releases restricted to analog record formats.
  • Reissue: Releases of previously-released material onto new formats, with new bonus material, or with new mastering.

Other Release & Event Types

  • Book: A non-periodical publication, commercially available to the public.
  • Collaboration Merch: Merchandise created by a company other than avex in collaboration with Ayumi Hamasaki.
  • Concert: Full live productions, including tours and short sets at multi-artist events. Every show on a tour is not listed here; usually only the beginning and end of a tour.
  • Home Video: Any VHS, VCD, DVD, or Blu-ray release where Ayu is the primary artist or celebrity depicted.
  • Magazine: Periodical publications, including free publications with enough pages to be bound, but not including newspapers or free publications that are folded.
  • Movie: A feature-length standalone film. Release may have been theatrical, home video only, or television only.
  • Print CM: Commercial campaigns with still photos of Ayu, but without an accompanying television (or other video) component.
  • Radio: Radio show appearances
  • TV CM: Television commercials, including web CMs.
  • TV Series: Television series in which Ayu appeared as a regular.
  • TV Variety: Single appearances on a TV variety (music or comedy) show.
