From precocious looking girl to sexy, provocative temptress to her current girl-next-door look, Ayumi Hamasaki has indeed reinvented herself. This latest single, “Faraway” has her docked out in beach casuals, looking wistfully into the distance. If you think that all you get with this new single is two to four tracks of original song and its remixes think again. “Faraway” has a total of nine remixes, including the original mix. Ayumi has also included a remix of “appears” and “End Roll” in this single. The song itself is pretty relaxing, with lighthearted lyrics set to equally light tunes. Max Matsura produces the single with the singer writing all the lyrics herself. Definitely a different Ayumi Hamasaki!
