Hmmmm... not really understand... but thanks anyhow :D

dont really consider the time of A BEST to be her past... but thanks anyway...

I'm glad she didn't retire.

hmm I pretty much got the point of the auto-translation.. ahaha thanks ^.^***

The auto-translation is kind of clear, but i only understood the half of it :P

i understood a quarter!... have no comment thx for the translation

Looks like the comparisons when A BEST and Distance were put on the market the same day kinda killed ayu. Like nobody cared about her music or her but just seeing one of the two of them crash and burn. Ayu is a true artist, judging by the way the felt about the situation.

The same article can be found on Yahoo. I forgot to mention that the article notes the problem with her ear in June 2000 that caused her to cancel the 2nd part of her tour. Additionally, this upcoming interview will show Ayu's elementary school, in which her and her dad visited often, as well as how she fell during a rehearsal in 2001.

Those two articles are just plugs for the NTV special.
