Gardens spread with greenery, an immaculate living room with a pure white interior, a decorative spiral staircase; it is a luxurious living space designed like a holiday resort. In this space, she plays with her 4 beloved dogs and poses in lingerie, with a private and personal expression.

In a long interview reminiscing her activities for the past 15 years, she speaks of her emotions when deafness first befell her, and a true account of her feelings for avex CEO Matsuura. As this issue’s theme is “art”, 3 artists, including Tanaami Keiichi, represented “Hamasaki Ayumi’s 15th Anniversary” in the form of art pieces.
