According to a rough translator, she cut her hair a week after she announced the breakup (last paragraph).

あゆ 髪切って吹っ切った!?

　ＴＯＫＩＯの長瀬智也（２８）との破局を発表したばかりの歌手・浜崎あゆみ（２８）の最新シングル「ｇｌ ｉｔｔｅｒ／ｆａｔｅｄ」が３０日付のオリコンランキングで１位を獲得したことが２３日、分かった。これで １９９９年から９年連続での１位獲得となり、女性アーティストのシングル連続１位獲得年数で中森明菜と並び 、歴代１位となった。

　“歌姫”に新たな勲章がまた加わった。「１位獲得数」「トップ１０獲得数」「総売り上げ枚数」「ミリオン 獲得数」の女性アーティスト歴代１位記録に新たな足跡をしるし、５冠を達成した。

　本業では私生活の雑音もどこ吹く風という人気ぶりを見せつけた浜崎は、「１位獲得、そして新たに５つ目の 記録をいただき、私を支えてくれているみんなにとても感謝してます」とファンに向けてのお礼のコメントを発 表。

　破局を明かした１週間後には、テレビ出演後に髪を切って気分転換も図り、「これからもファンの方々に喜ん でいただける作品づくりにがんばっていきます」と前向き。破局ショックをみじんも感じさせることはなかった 。

AYU CUTS HAIR, GETS OVER IT!?

As of the 23rd, it is known that “glitter/fated”, the new single of Ayumi Hamasaki (28), the singer who just announced her breakup with TOKIO’s Tomoya Nagase (28), has taken the number 1 spot on the Oricon ranking dated the 30th. This marks 9 years of consecutive number 1’s since 1999, and, together with Akina Nakamori, the all-time longest consecutive number 1 singles by a female artist.

The 'songstress' has again found her way among new honors. With footprints in all-time records like “Number of Number 1’s”, “Number of Top 10’s”, “Total Sales”, “Million Sales Mark”, she has been crowned 5 times.

Hamasaki, who has proven popular in her profession no matter what the clamor in her personal life, announced a thank-you comment to her fans, saying, “I am very touched by all of you who support me as I receive the number one spot with this newly quintupled record.”

A week after revealing the breakup, she has cut her hair after a television performance, and, aiming for a change of pace, is positive that, “[she] will continue to do [her] best to produce things that will make all of [her] fans happy.” She showed not the slightest bit of shock from the breakup.

lol, mayb Ayu cut her hair for her upcoming PV/perf :shrug

Ayu will never do a Britney~~

Have we seen pics since the break up? I thought her hair looked a bit shorter in performances and MUCH BETTER!

haha yeah i agree with ya! XD

can anyone plz translate that paragraph? :love

I wondered if ayu would change her hair after the break up. That has nothing to do with Britney. It's kinda natural. I think that not a few women do it. Perhaps it feels more like "starting all over" then?
By the way, ayu changed her hair around "WHATEVER" and afterwards, too. This could have been also because of a break up.

OMG MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I don't think Ayu has lost it enough to go bald, but this does sound very Britney-esque. Then again, Ayu's hair is always changing.

Mabe she just made her hairs shorter? *loves Evolution style*

i agree with libriya ^^

She changes her hair ALL THE TIME and now, only because she broke-up recently, this is important news? Unless she went bald, I don't thing this matter.

I don't think its anything dramatic, it was probably a regular scheduled cut. I trim my hair every two months lol. I am sure Ayu is well, plus it seems like this break-up was something she welcomed- I don't think she is heartbroken or anything.

This could also be the reason. It's around time ayu has short hair again anyway. ^_-
Well, whatever the reason, she only cut her hair. Many other people do it, too. Nothing to worry about.

i hope its something like kylie minogue or victoria beckham's hair! or something UNEXPECTED!! WOOHOO! (of cause, not britney.)

The article is really just an update about her sales, and how glitter/fated is yet another record breaking #1 single for her, and how she has stacked up lots of awards. All it says about the haircut is that she got it done after a TV appearance, with a positive outlook and a desire for a change of pace. Then it quotes her saying that she will go on creating things that will make fans happy.

haha funny..
ayu just doesn't use her hair extension anymore so her hair is shorter...
well, i don't know if her hair NOW is shorter than what we saw her recent TV performances.. (coz from the latest MUSIC STATION where she sang fated, her hair is back to long again, but i believe it's the hair extenstion)
as a matter or fact, we are unable to know how long or how short her hair is, right?

I hope she doesn't go britney... but I don't think Ayu will shave her hair off (like britney).


I totally agree with that.
And about Music Station, I thought the exact same thing: Coz in earlier performances her hair was shorter...

But which haircut do they mean? The haircut from her glitter performances? Or did she really cut it? like evolution style?

is there the translation into english??
i can't read it..
i hope ayu not to be like britney..
oh god

wowo ppl... don't over react! she's been cuting her hair since forever... lol, tabloids some make it sound like is out of the ordinary when is not, she had a really short wig for hanabi episode II, that's a good look for her lol.

-.-; she has had that hair for so long, it's about time for a change XD why aren't people expecting it lol? XD

not suprise to find her get a hair cut really o-O

Yeah, the lyrics really show that too, as can be seen here.

Anyway, I hope that the new hairstyle will be... nice. I'd love dark hair, but not dark and short hair. Something really angular would be cool, I think. But whatever, as long as it suits Ayumi nicely. :D

Thanks for the translation evolusean :)

I like her shorter hair, it looks healthier :)
