Events & Appearances

This is an extensive (but probably not yet complete) list of Ayumi Hamasaki's appearances, whether on TV or in person, as well as events centered around Ayumi Hamasaki's work whether or not she personally appeared.

This includes TV Lives, Interviews, and Documentaries, as well as handshake events, press conferences, and some live performances where Ayu appeared as a guest, whether televised or not.
