On January 25, Hamasaki released her eighteenth studio album: ''[[Remember You (Ayumi Hamasaki album)|Remember You]].'' The album's subsequent performance earned her the distinction of becoming the female artist with the most albums to reach the top ten on the Oricon charts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TOMORROW X TOGETHER、7作連続「アルバム」1位【オリコンランキング】 |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2265911/full/ |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=ORICON NEWS |archive-date=January 31, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230131101448/https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2265911/full/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

On March 28, Hamasaki was announced as a brand ambassador for Rhythm Co. Ltd. When asked about her 25th anniversary, the singer said: "I couldn't do all of this alone for 25 years, if I'd only done it for myself. I want to repay the people who took care of me. (...) I don't really feel like celebrating myself at all."<ref>{{Citation |title=浜崎あゆみ、2児の母になり苦労明かす「独身の頃はそんなことなかった」『リズム株式会社 新商品発表記者会見』 | date=March 28, 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBVSJC-Zz8A |access-date=2023-03-28 |language=en |archive-date=March 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328131638/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBVSJC-Zz8A |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=浜崎あゆみ８年ぶり記者会見登壇「うわー！」笑顔であいさつ デビュー25周年、節目の１年 – 芸能 : 日刊スポーツ |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202303280000862.html |access-date=2023-03-28 |website=nikkansports.com |language=ja |archive-date=March 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328131640/https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202303280000862.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The singer held her ''25th Anniversary Live'' concert on April 8 alongside a livestream hosted by [[Abema]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 12, 2021 |title=浜崎あゆみ「25th Anniversary LIVE」ABEMAにて独占生配信決定"最初で最後のビッグニュース"の発表も – モデルプレス |url=https://mdpr.jp/music/detail/3659238 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230327111459/https://mdpr.jp/music/detail/3659238 |archive-date=March 27, 2023 |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=モデルプレス – ライフスタイル・ファッションエンタメニュース |language=ja}}</ref> From April 7, the [[109 (department store)#Collaboration with Ayumi Hamasaki|25th Anniversary Shibuya109 Campaign]] took place to celebrate Hamasaki's milestone year.<ref>{{Cite web |last=FASHIONSNAP |date=2023-03-30 |title=浜崎あゆみと渋谷109がコラボ 歌手デビュー25周年を記念 |url=https://www.fashionsnap.com/article/2023-03-30/ayumihamasaki-sibuya109/ |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=FASHIONSNAP [ファッションスナップ] |language=ja |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816143501/https://www.fashionsnap.com/article/2023-03-30/ayumihamasaki-sibuya109/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-30 |title=『ayumi hamasaki 25th Anniversary SHIBUYA109 Campaign』 |url=https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000220.000033586.html |access-date=2023-07-15 |website=プレスリリース・ニュースリリース配信シェアNo.1｜PR TIMES |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816143504/https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000220.000033586.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
