Why do you think Guilty only got only number 2 on Oricon?

It truly is sad, i mean very sad. Quite a coincedance that earlier today someone bumped an old TA message she posted, around the last day of the japan leg of the Asia tour 2008 when she talks about CDL 07-08. Its a very touching lenghthy message about her good friend who passed, and how even though it troubles her greatly to sing with her ear problem she still goes on. that message and the 2001 footage not just prove this is no stunt, but shows just how much it troubles Ayu. it really makes me sad for her. I mean, yes her voice has changed over the years, but when people say her deafness is fake or doesn't effect her voice, its just heartbreaking.

even a normal person wouldn't lie about such a matter . I mean it's no joke losing your hearing at all . I know because I'm partially deaf (I take after my dad & his dad as his side of the family has a history of hearing problems ) & I can understand where ayumi's coming from .

& casual & anti fans of her to say that she lies , they just don't know the real facts/truth behind on what she said at all
