Saying good-bye: ayaka Iida and Michael Jackson
 

NOTE: I don't know where I should put this, as this involves both Ayaka Iida (known as ayaka; a Japanese pop singer) and Michael Jackson ("King of Pop", MJ; world-record holder), and MJ is not a Japanese pop singer, but if someone thinks this should be moved, feel free to ask an administrator.

It's really sad to say, but I'm really saying good-bye to these two artists: Ayaka Iida, in which she has Graves' disease and is stopping her music career for the foreseeable future to concentrate on healing from this disease as well as her marriage with her husband Hiro Mizushima, while something different outside of Ayaka's nature that I am talkign about also is Michael Jackson, which as we know that he died on June 25 and, at time of my posting this new topic, recently had a memorial service that would be the biggest in history of entertainment on July 7.

I feel sad for these two people, as Ayaka has got to concentrate on things that are priority for her, which is her health condition and her marriage with Hiro, while MJ is a musician that people will never forget and will think that this effort that he had done will never be imitated. Not even Ayumi Hamasaki or any of the artists in the world will ever try to imitate MJ...

Does anybody have comments on what I am talking? If you do, feel free to post your comments here. I feel that the comments that you are posting here might make me happy again.

EDIT: Ayaka's not dead!!! She's just stopping her music career for the foreseeable future as noted above, but MJ died - sorry for the confusion...

First, this topic is very misleading; I thought ayaka died also! Second, why do you keep comparing everyone to Michael Jackson and his death? First Ayu (who you still manage to make mention of in here) and now ayaka. Even though Michael paved the way for everyone in the music industry I think it's kinda unfair to compare him to anyone, let alone in this context, because simply put - Michael is Michael.

But, if I were to make some sort of comparison, it would be that, ayaka, although she has a very serious disease, at least she's alive and has a chance of continuing her career one day if she gets well. Michael isn't and doesn't.

Sorry, that's just how I feel.

i will miss ayaka as well, she had some pretty cute songs :(

The way you said it in your title made it sound like Ayaka died....I was like @_______@

Has ayaka confirmed she'll stop forever? That's really ridiculous to assume that if she hasn't. Graves isn't a 100% lethal disease. It is a disease that has treatment, and she can fully control the disease and have a very niormal life and get back into singing if everything goes well. I don't really see why we should say goodbye to her right now :shrug

Ayaka shouldn't give up on her career! (This topic is very misleading, you almost gave me a heart attack.)

OMG! I thought ayaka died too! I was about to lose it.

Poor ayaka..her music was so great, her voice is so beautiful..

oh, I'll miss ayaka's music

lol i thought ayaka died too (god forbid) when i first read this thread title. but no need to be so dramatic about it. ayaka's getting treatment and will just put her music career on hiatus.

well, i just hope that her condition/health will improve and she'll recover, and get well enough to continue making good music. ^^

Ayaka just has her carrer on hold. The thread title can be misleading.

........ AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Don't do that, I was worried about Ayaka. Her voice is beautiful..

A friend of mine had Graves, it was about a year process, it was fixed and she was back to singing in no time after she was healed..

It's fixable!

I hope Ayaka doesn't leave forever. :(!

Well I am going to miss ayaka's music, but knowing that she'll be back it doesn't really make me feel so bad lol

omg i seriously thought ayaka was dead, but i'll miss her music :bawl

i never want another artist to die.. i mean, i still can't accept the truth that Michael Jackson passed away... it's almost like... he's still here~

I thought you meant ayaka died :weep
She's il.
I ♥ POWER OF MUSIC

I still can't belive MJ is gone.
I just feel...empty, you know what I mean.
He was the #1, there will NEVER EVER be another.
I will really miss MJ.

Don't blame it on the ☼ Don't blame it on the moonlight Don't blame it on the bad times Blame it on THE BOOGIE!

Just beat it.

Billie Jean is not my lover.

Cos this is Thriller, Thriller night

You rock my world you know you did

I still ♥ you Michael

You may be gone, but NEVER EVER forgotten :weep :bawl :cry :scry :( :no :helpcheer

the tittle of the thread is really misleading i thought ayaka passed .......
i like to listen to one of ayaka's song used for Zetta Kareshi : sweet home?

^It's Okaeri! :)
