Footnotes

a.^{^} "Connected", a single composed by Ferry Corsten, is not considered by Avex as part of Hamasaki's official discography, as the single was released under Drizzly Records. However, "Connected" appeared on I am...

b.^{^} The official title of this movie is 月に沈む (written in kanji and hiragana.)^[118] However, the title is sometimes written in its romanized form, Tsuki ni Shizumu.^[119]

c.^{^} Two of Hamasaki's songs released prior to Rainbow, "Love ~since 1999~" and "Audience" incorporated English lyrics. However, the lyrics of "Love ~since 1999~" were not written by Hamasaki, and the only English that "Audience" comprises is the sporadic use of "Yes"; therefore, these songs are usually not counted among Hamasaki's songs which incorporate English.^[120]

d.^{^} It is disputed whether (miss)understood or My Story should be considered Hamasaki's last million-selling album, as the RIAJ lists (miss)understood as a million-seller, while the Oricon claims that (miss)understood sold just under 900,000 copies.^[121] However, it should be noted that the RIAJ's certification is based on the number of albums shipped to stores, while the Oricon gathers its tallies from the retailers themselves.

e.^{^} Hamasaki's first-week sales were the highest for that week (the first week of January.) However, Oricon's year only has fifty-one weeks—the first and second week of the year are combined. Kobukuro's sales for the combined two weeks were slightly higher than Hamasaki's, giving them the number-one position.

f.^{^} For a comprehensive list of Hamasaki's Avex-sanctioned remixes released in Japan, see Hamasaki's discography at mu-mo.net.

g.^{^} This is according to MSN. If the claims of the tabloid The Sun are to be trusted, the production costs of the video for George Michael's "Freeek!" were around one million pounds (nearly two million U.S. dollars),^[122] making Hamasaki the second non-American with such a distinction.

h.^{^} The symbol in question is this one: . It is pronounced "A" and is used either as a substitute for the letter a or to represent Hamasaki's name. In fact, the titles of five albums, Rainbow, A Best, A Ballads, A Best 2 -White-, and A Best 2 -Black- utilize this symbol; the proper titles of these albums are RINBOW, Best, Ballads, Best 2 -White-, and Best 2 -Black-, respectively.

i.^{^} All records and charting positions in this article apply only to Japan or Japan's Oricon charts unless otherwise stated.
