and many more..
i cant search all link ^^

including Kompas.. http://www.kompas.com

poor AYU..

Wow. I'm amazed how whole world knows about his now. Even people in Arabic countries. :3 Well, that's like Madonna had gone deaf in one ear or something. It's shame that it leaked to some big news channels/whatever when Ayu meant to say about her deafness only to her fans. :<

There hasn't been any big news on music magazines in Finland about this, so I guess it didn't reach here on "paper version", but it would be different if Ayu was worldwide superstar. :3 But still, I think that's really amazing how wide that spread. I didn't expect anything like that. :0

:D i cant search all...

i think kompas is the 1st post the article...

ohh poor ayu T___T

:headache What's up with thoose french people. That's not even Japanese..lol

Don't blame the French, it's a belgian site :p

Anyway, the article in itself is the same as all the others, quite neutral : "best seller in Japan with 50 millions albums sold ...bla bla... deaf in the same way as Beethoven... bla bla..."
it's just the live video that is... herm...

^^WHAT IS THAT??? That is NOT Japanese! XD And they're doing like...para para or something. XD But whoever it is, I actually really like the song. >_< I want to find whoever that is. :P

This one is not french but Belgian :shakehead
Don't be rude please :D

Wow... Ayu is like, everywhere. o.Õ
I wonder how surprised she is.

thanks for the news

i found more sites in arab world about her i'm shocked she isn't popular at all in arab world maybe only anime fans who know her i think people write about her only because she is "the SINGER who become DEAF in her left ear" yeah sort of like beethoven's deafness :(

but itz weird that the chick kinda looks like Ayu in the face and she sounds like Koda Kumi >.<

wow...worldwide concern...

I saw the article in the vif express!

We can also see her in France 2 in "on n'a pas tout dit" !But I didn't see it!

I 've just read the sitehttp://www.votrejournal.be/article/mag/insolite/la_reine_du_pop,_ayu,_revele_quelle_est_a_moitie_s ourde_/85727.aspx
Baka They don't know the real Jpop! Their article look like some other french papers!

if i were a singer, and i had a picture taken of me wearing a hearing aid while singing, i would just be super embarrassed.

ITS SO WRONG @_@

:thud
which day ?

OMG.. this news have reached until middle east too???
i cant believe it

I think it's 9th January

it's really sad.. but i'm sure Ayu can overcome this.. =)
