Maybe it's just a little different because she's a singer? But she's strong! Nothing will stop her!
As said before, it's definetly wondrous that she will continue her career instead of giving up now.
In a nutshell, I think it's very, very thoughtful for the fans to do this origami project. I, personally, am just not as affected that I could cry. Of course I will still support Ayumi and cheer her on; I just know that this isn't something to cry over, as it's not like it's the end of the world or anything.

i can't pretend to speak for anyone else here, but in regards to this matter it upsets me because of how much ayumi had to endure last year: the loss of natsuki, her and tomoya splitting up and now her incurably deaf ear? my heart goes out to her in sympathy for ALL of those losses and all that pain.
while yes, it's not the end of the world and it's not like ayumi is permanently crippled by this to the point of being incapable of living normally, i think that there are different levels of showing your support for someone you care about when they open up to you, be it by crying, paper cranes or remaining strong and not getting upset about it. it's really just varying degrees of how a person handles things--and i definitely think, for some people, this IS something to cry over. i've teared up over this because of how strong ayu's been throughout it all. it's all relative, really.
