That's interesting that BBC and some other international sources publish things about Ayu. She is propably the best known Japanese artist outside Japan itself.

this is a worldwide thing i think..

is she deaf or does she have tinitus...
these are two different things..

and a tinitus can be cured a little over years ^^

Wow...I'm surprised at how many foreign articles are appearing due to this. I know she was well-known, but I guess I never really realized HOW well-known she was. If BBC has reported on this, I wouldn't be surprised if I find an American article soon.

And I just cried again. ^_^; I think the picture did it for me...

This is amazing. Allthough the news are extraordinarily sad, it's great to see what an acknowledgement this brings.

Wait, these things are supposed to be in a completely new thread? What was "News about Ayumi losing her left ear" for then? o_O
And if this thread stays, you can copy the links I posted in that thread, too, if you'd like that.

^ Both of those were already posted.

It's weird in the articles from Belgium and France, they're comparing her to Beethoven... well, I find it weird, because wasn't he COMPLETELY deaf?

Yeah, that, and Avex hasn't commented yet apparently. I can't say I'm too surprised, since she was the one that told everyone about this, and she was the one that gave us details and stuff. There's not much else for Avex to say, I guess.

that pic, it looks like her face is melting

anyways, I think Ayu appearing in a significant western news outlet is important enough to warrant it's own topic.

eww it does.

I was surprised when that this news hit BBC.

Its awesome what she's doing, even though I'm worried, and if that's what she wants I can't really say anything...

I wish her the best ofcourse.
