Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ayumi Hamasaki's fourth studio album marks her move toward alternative dance and pop rock, with production from her Avex team and a harder guitar presence than her earlier trance pop. 'I Am...' was written in the shadow of September 2001, and its lyrics turn repeatedly to peace and self-determination.
