T-T I think I'm going to cry! Omg Ayu is a true singer! she loves us so much that she would go deaf just for us! Man, l want to give Ayu a really big hug if i ever meet her l will!

07-08 seems like a bad year... and 08 is just starting only....

Ok i think i'll be praying for her too whenever i go to temple

Wow shocking and sad, must say I really admire Ayu a lot :O I'll try to pray for her best!

after seeing that Ayu endured so many difficulties of her problems and still .. . I love her more than ever

I'm really shocked...
and near to tears as well..
even now, when i think about her words to us during CDL 07~08 i could start crying..
i think you know what i mean...

But also i have to say that i think she should take a break...
this would be bette than anything else..
i want to hear her as long as i can, and so it would be great if she would celebrate her
10th Anniversary and afterwards take a break..
if she is holding an CDL again i will be there supporting her,
because i will be in japan this year.

Let's pray for her best

poor our Dear Ayu!! why both Ayu's love & health are not good :shakehead

Oh my god... Poor Ayu, we should all look up to her and admire her. She never gives up for anything.

I really admire Ayu's preserverence and positive attitude toward this. Honestly, her vocal qualities during lives may be becoming worse and worse due to the fact that only ONE ear functions properly.

:((((((((((((((((((((((((( no words....

This is very sad news. I have a lot of respect for her for still thinking of her fans and wanting to do her best.

This is so surprising. :( I feel terrible for Ayu. I'm really glad that she's so strong through this whole thing; it's really inspiring. I just hope that her other ear works for the rest of her life.

this is very sad news, 2007 is the worst year for Ayu, she said she lost it since last year...i wonder when though...

i feel really sry for ayu and i'm also shocked who would've known avex needs to stop working her so hard but then again they won't be happy till she is completley deaf

Ayu, I love you. :( I know you'll never read this, but I feel so sorry for you and I'm really wishing for the best. This breaks my heart.

poor Ayu. She's being strong, but I hope she won't push it, especially with the Asia Tour 2008 coming up. (by the way she first had ear-problems during her Concert Tour 2000, it came back during her Dome Tour 2001)

This is like, extremely sad news for me right now :( and I literally started crying (I think listening to I am... while reading this didn't help).

I definitely respect and admire her soo much more now, and as much I would love to hear more Ayu, I don't want her to keep releasing stuff at the expense of her health like this.

I feel ashamed almost, because since I was a new Ayu fan (since Dec 2006) I wanted her to keep releasing stuff... I didn't want to catch her at the end of her career, but I definitely agree now that she should take a break, or at least slow down.

I hope she'll make the right choice, and that Avex will work with her as well, and that she's seeking the right medical attention.

I hope she doesn't go crazy trying to release stuff as much as possible thinking she needs to please us, her fans... possibly making her other ear bad/worse.

It must be really hard for her now... and I wonder when exactly she lost it?

But I wish her all the best, like really, she's in my prayers... I hope this year really looks up for her.

We're with you (just like you said you were with us), always.

That made me laugh though, I needed that :P

omg, that very bad news...

That means that her concert will get worse?

It means that it's MUCH harder for her to sound good.. :<

Wow, indeed shocking!
I hope she can go on being a singer for a long time and we should all support Ayu as good as possible!!!
