Ayumi Hamasaki's whole videography is now up on YouTube worldwide. No more short version music video foolishness. Fans can enjoy the full length shit.

Rejoice.

There is a disparity between videos as far as aspect ratios and quality goes. It would have been nice to have had HD versions of these videos, and for the older ones to have gone through some type of remastering and upscaling. But with this being Japan and given their attitude to digital content, it could just as easily be because of laziness as it is because it just wasn't possible in some cases.

Let's just be grateful that Ayu's videos are actually available. Although somebody on her team needs to fix the playlists on her channel and maybe hide the short versions of videos. They clearly aren't precious of views, comments or general engagement, given that comments have been disabled for all of the new uploads of her music videos.

Again. Japan don't care 'bout digital content.

Ayu has been trampling on her own legacy for the past 7 years, and nothing she's done in that time has been particularly great. So it's nice to have a reminder of a time when she really was that bitch. Even if the music wasn't tickling one bit of my fancy. It's just good to have all of her full music videos in one officially in place, to save fans from having to dig into those CD + DVD editions of her albums or scour Dailymotion and playlists on Youku. But it has to be said, some of her music videos have aged really badly. REALLY fucking badly. But they're still fun to watch for that sole reason.

Fans should probably thank Namie Amuro for this. Because the global release of her discography to Spotify probably pushed Ayu and Avex to do this shit. Now, if Namie would just kindly put all of her music videos up on her YouTube channel, that'd be great.
