Got this in an email today. The actual email subject was "Singer Ayumi Hamasaki Losing Hearing in Right Ear." I was surprised to see that in my inbox, really...

A friend of mine who actually doesn't even like Ayu saw that article and sent a screenshot of it to me saying she was shocked. I'll add it to the list.
I am surprised how global it has become and that the news is reaching people who do not even follow Ayu.

Thanks for the news round-up. I am sure Ayu expected this to happen - posting it on Team Ayu just made sure her fans found out first, but there's no way she meant for this to be kept a secret. She just let the word spread naturally rather than an official press release.
I'm still processing it all myself, it feels horrible. I always hoped her loss of hearing before was a freak situation due to severe tinnitus and damage from the ear infection she had in 2000. But now the other ear as well? It's too sad...

Sure.
I thought it would be good to collect the news in one place and also to document the moment. This is one of the most historic moments in Ayu history.
Another interesting thing is that I believe the fact that this news has become so global proves that Ayu is actually still very relevant despite declining sales. I mean for American places like OtakuUSA and Crunchyroll to make a whole article about her is impressive.
