Please sit down. There, are you comfortable? Perhaps you'd like a drink to calm your nerves, because what I'm about to say may come as somewhat of a shock.

You see, I have an awful confession to make . . . I like Ayumi Hamasaki.

There. I said it. I feel better. You look shocked. Are you OK? Now, don't get the wrong idea -- I harbor no lustful thoughts for said chanteuse. It's her music I'm talking about.
