Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "I Am... is the fourth full-length studio album by Japanese pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki, released on January 1, 2002 in Japan by Avex Trax. The album marked an evolution in Hamasaki's lyrical and musical style: Hamasaki, who wrote all the lyrics on I Am... as with her previous albums, began to move away from the themes of \"loneliness and confusion\" that had marked her previous albums and began to incorporate elements of rock music in her songs. Unlike her previous albums, Hamasaki also acted as one of the composers on I Am..., composing twelve of its sixteen songs under the pen name \"Crea\".Moved by the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hamasaki sought to write less introspectively than she had on previous effort Duty, and incorporate lyrics that were more for all people than simply herself. This is apparent in songs such as \"Unite!\" and \"A Song Is Born\".I Am... was promoted with the release of eight singles, and one international single. Lead single \"M\" topped the charts in Japan and sold over a million copies; it also won \"Song of the Year\" at the Japan Gold Disc Awards. \"M\" is considered one of Hamasaki's signature songs, and was the first song of her career that she composed herself. Hamasaki also composed second single \"Evolution\"; it too peaked at number one and was a million seller. Third single \"Never Ever\" also found success, peaking at number one and selling over 750,000 copies. Of the next six singles, five would peak at number one, with the final single, \"Daybreak\", reaching number two.I Am... experienced commercial success. It debuted atop the Oricon with first-week sales of over 1.7 million copies; it would go on to sell nearly 2.5 million copies in its 25-week chart run. Her first international release, it was successful across Asia: in Singapore, I Am... sold over 10,000 copies, unusual for a Japanese album. I Am... has sold over 8 million albums and singles worldwide."@en }
