news travel fast!! an article about ayu's mishap appeared in a tabloid in Singapore. there isnt any "new" news.. but i thought i would share it with u guys. here is the translation!!

Ayumi Hamasaki fell on Christmas eve and broke her left arm. The original plan of her opening the Kouhaku this year may have some changes.

Due to fatigue, which eventually led to anemia, Japan's pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki fell down on Christmas eve and injured her right arm. She even underwent a surgery and at the last minute, had to cancel her performance on "MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE". It's still not confirmed whether ayu will attend the annual Kouhaku.

Ayumi apologised on her blog and claimed that she was extremely terrified on the day she underwent surgery. Luckily, her manicurist was with her throughout the surgery. The doctor advised her to rest well and it will take approximately 3 weeks to heal completely.

This year had been a rough year for Ayumi. In January 2008, she announced that she had gone permanently deaf on her left ear via her blog. In April 2008, her stylist actually forgot to remove the needle from her concert costume, which resulted in Ayumi having to bear the pain while performing. Throughout her concert in Japan, she also suffered a bad flu. In September 2008 in Hong Kong, she fell down and injured her left arm. Bandage could still be seen at the party after the concert.
