The empress of pop, Ayumi Hamasaki, is currently gearing up for her newest tour in support of her latest studio effort "Love songs", but her rate of rapid releases is not slowing down anytime soon. President of Avex and close friend of Ayumi's, Max Matsuura, announced through his twitter account late last year that a new a-yu-mix was indeed in the works, and now we've got an official announcement of its release.

The last enstallment of the ayu-mi-x series, "ayu-mi-x 6", which was released in two versions, GOLD and SILVER, was nearly 3 years ago, and the singer is going big for fans to celebrate the release of her 50th single last fall.

"ayu-mi-x 7" will consist of 4 separate albums: house, acoustic orchestra, "ayu trance 4", and "ayu-ro mix 4". The remixes will span across all 50 singles, from her debut "poker face" to her latest A-side, "Virgin Road".

"ayu-mi-x 7 -version HOUSE-" (tentative title) will feature popular musicians/DJs such as Jonathan Peters, Hex Hector, Johnny Vicious, Razor N' Guido and Eric Kupper, as well as SHINICHI OSAWA, FPM, and SUGIURMN."ayu-mi-x 7 -version Acoustic Orchestra" will follow the tradition and feature new arrangements of Hamasaki's songs, done by Japanese pianist Tsujii Nobiyuki, who won the First Prize at the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009. "ayu trance 4" and "ayu-ro mix 4" will be the first installments of this series in almost 7 years, and are described as being "high tension" and very upbeat.

A limited edition box set of these CDs will be produced and will come with a bonus CD, the contents of which have not been announced yet. These albums will be released on March 30th.

On the same day, the singer will also be releasing two new DVDs. "A 50 SINGLES ~LIVE SELECTION~" will feature clips of performances from 2000's "ayumi hamasaki concert tour 2000 A" all the way until her latest tour last year. "ayumi hamasaki Rock'n'Roll Circus Tour FINAL ~7days Special~" will feature footage from the last 7 days of the special concert in support of her album "Rock'n'Roll Circus", which occurred last fall.

Come back for more information on these mega releases soon!
