Akasaka Blitz
In 2002, Hamada signed with Tokuma Japan Communications and released "Marigold". She also resumed live touring that year when she performed at the Akasaka Blitz just before it was completely demolished and rebuilt. Since then, Hamada would release a new album and tour every two years. Her album sales, however, were not of the same level as the decade before, with each album barely hovering within the top-100.
