Career Timeline

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.
