Ayumi Hamasaki splurges on burial land
J-Pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki carries on her splurging ways, and recent news reported that her recent splurges include burial land for the Hamasaki family!
(that’s kinda an odd purchase i would say)
According to reports, Ayumi had spent approximately a whopping 10 million yen on a piece of burial land in Tokyo central. In addition to this, she spent another 8 million yen to erect a burial stone using high-quality materials. The burial stone is said to have “Hamasaki Family” carved in 3 different languages – Japanese, English and Chinese.
Indeed, this is what I deem as burial fit for the royalty. In this case, I mean the royalty of the Japanese music scene.
Wow.
