[inspire_rmx]

I'm so sad by the news.. i can't imagine how she's feeling right now.. It's so unfair..
I hope she will haf a good rest and take care of her hearing frm nw on.. mayb to slow down her career.. i will support her no matter wad..god bless Ayu pls..

[cloud♥honey]

I hope she doesn't loses her earing more than she loose. I'm really sad about that, I never thought Ayu was able to write those touching words. I feel sorry for her. It proves that Ayu is the best and she'll be the best forever.

Rewatching the NTV 2004 interview..

It looks like back in 2001, the same sort of thing was happening then as it was now.. she couldn't hear correctly, and thus couldn't sing. I don't think that this was a coincidence.. D:

[jon_the_d]

yeah except this time it's gone forever

[Cys86]

I will watch this interview tonight... I want to come back to those memories.

Yeah. Basically.

The signs were all the same. Wild notes that were uncontrollable.. D:

[jon_the_d]

like I said, maybe a future of nice quiet in-studio recording is the answer....so we can still have ayu making new music, just no concerts..

I'd prefer that to he rgoing totally deaf.

didnt this happened a few years back during a concert ?
she didnt completely lose her left hearing, but it was damaged for sure
... dont know, maybe im just having a dejavu =S

Yes, as stated before, DT01 was the "return" of the hearing problems, but now instead of being just a problem where she can't hear as much as before, she can't hear at all out of the ear..

[Ani_C]

Poor girl, now I take back everything I said about working hard and I think she should take a break. Honestly.

[jon_the_d]

and as I said, taking a break is not gonna get her hearing back...why does everyone keep suggesting it?

Becouse she should relax, she must be nervous becouse of that ear injury

[Bad Wolf]

People aren't suggesting it because they think it'll bring her hearing back: we all read the message. We all know her hearing's gone. To suggest her to rest means we want her to take care of herself, to put HER needs before the WANTS of us fans--it seems you aren't getting that.

[jon_the_d]

perhaps, but ayu will deal with it in her own way, everyone deals with bad news and upsetting times in their own way. I personally don't think "resting" will be ayu's choice.

She'll want to feel the support of her fans, and she'll want to please us, and give "us" what she thinks we want, ie: performances, tours etc. and if it's what she wants, and what can make her happy through this terrible time, then good for her. she's a fighter. she's not going to just mope about he rhouse all alone feeling sorry for herself is she.

I just hope she looks after her right ear.

If Ayu ever does a concert again, I want her to lip synch the whole way through, and take good care of her ears... Please do not stress it again. Please ayu. Take care...

No~! Not lip synch! We hate Eason Chan remember? We don't want him to be right, right?

Her crying so hard during MY ALL--and Shuya crying with her--how she's been trying so hard for herself and for us fans. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. She's a wonderful woman and a true artist, but I just want the best for her. I want her to stay healthy.

omg, now I know it will be sort of sad to watch the CDL ><

I prefer ayu's career without concerts that lipsynch

[cloud♥honey]

Honestly I don't like these countdowns live. They always makes Ayu tired. I think she could have a "normal" countdown, with friends, family (if she has one)...

[ExodusUK]

I guess it makes sense now why the venues for next year's tour are smaller than last years. A bigger venue would open put strain on her ears with the acoustics and everything. Hopefully this means Ayu might start doing even smaller venues and maybe even a acoustic concert which is a lot less stressful. Maybe even another TeamAyu tour. I'm trying to keep postive...

[Bad Wolf]

Nothing wrong with wanting to be positive. I hope that she takes whatever measures she can to lessen the strain on her ear(s) for her latest tour.
