Ayu's social networks - Discussion #45

[spanishfan]

This makes me really sad. I don't know anymore if I want her to take an hiatus (or calm down a little) or keep doing like it seems she enjoys to do

[Katsuyuki012]

My heart is broken... It sounds as if it's only a matter of time until she will go entirely deaf... I'm devasted now... Like, when the day will come, there won't be new music from her anymore I will be very depressed... To be honest, I can't even imagine Ayu being 'happily' deaf... Happy like she somehow can live with it... She can't picture a life without music so yea...

[relmy]

Oh my gosh, six years?! She hid it so well. Wait, back in 2011 I remember loads of speculation about her sitting so much at CDL, now we know why. I'm glad it's getting better though, be strong Ayu!!!

I'm so worried about what she said about her ear. I'm shocked, really. Like most people, I know she won't stop but I don't want her to push on and make her ear and knee worse. I feel like saying "It's ok! We understand if you need to rest"

[Aderianu]

I have only the stage. The stage is the place where I live. I don't know how to live the other way. I didn't think this kind of future will come. I will listen even if I can't hear it. I will move even if I can't move.

[pedronekoi]

Oh my God I feel so sad righ now So her other ear is getting bad also? I jus wish she live her life as happily as she can.

About the keen, didn't we already knew she had smething on her knee? I kinda feel like I know she had something. Can be wrong... But remember that during the first 2 dates of CDL she wore a knee band? That's the reason

[280301]

Poor Ayu Gosh, I mean surely the touring can't be helping though? Or maybe she's been told that she is inevitably going to lose her hearing eventually - maybe that's why she has produced so many different tours as of late... Either way, I hope she takes the time to have a rest.

[Evan Odinson]

I'm so sad about this, I only want her to be well and happy

[mizuki-7]

It explained a lot of things now ... what a sadness
Knowing that and seeing how she is bashed lately on every single things... it's a shame !

[xLuna&1LOVE]

This is so devastating to read. It must be a nightmare to go through this. I regret everything I said about bad vocals etc., because... now we know why it has not been good recently. Poor Ayu! I feel so much sadness now.

[melissalove]

This hit me like a ton of bricks. Am in tears right now, she's going deaf. I just can't right now.

[Ruan Borges]

OMG, I am so sad right now, ayu is such a strong human being, I just wish she can take a real break to recover !

[Larisa-chan]

Wow... this is really sad news.. I feel so awful for her. It worries me that her hearing in her right ear is getting worse, but she's still touring like crazy.

[EndOfTheWorld]

When will her ear problems be confirmed? Perhaps I missed it but to my knowledge she hasn't said what her diagnosis is. Just that she is losing her hearing for a long time now. I feel that it would be helpful to know more details so we can understand better.
I don't mean this in a cold hearted way but, I really am not shocked by this news. I think it has been obvious that something isn't right with her hearing. This only confirms my fears that I have had for a few years now.
I wish there was a way to help Ayu's situation.

[CatGirl]

Oh my god, wow I'm so shocked and saddened. I'm glad she still wants to continue performing and that it makes her happy, but I'm seriously worried about her health. I wonder if anything can be done to prevent her from completely going deaf.

[RealLight]

I'll just quote myself

and now that I know it's been going for 6 freaking years, why on Earth didn't she stop for some time to heal that shit up, ugh this woman

[truehappiness]

Oh god. This latest TA entry is sad.

[Bigtop]

Wow, a big shocker. No longer a TA member but that recent post - as long as we have the OFFICIAL English translation - this needs to be a 'critical' post to read, even to non-TA.

This is NOT good. NOT GOOD!!!

she wrote that she had problem with her kneecap for 6 years! and that first show in Yokohama Arena was like a return of true ayumi hamasaki for her. she says that she has nothing but stage and she continues to live because of stage and she'll keep performing until her body lets her....

upd. I don't want to be mean or something but she sounds exactly like Yoshiki who had problems with his neck and back for almost 20 years and had really serious surgery few days ago which became big news.

well, I want them both to be healthy!!

A problem in the kneecap for the past SIX years!? Whow... I can't believe this... And not only that, her right ear hearing got worse - I thought that's her remaining ear that she's able to hear!

Is Ayu overstressing or something? This is very concerning...

[AyuWorld]

Im crying reading the news, omg I cant imagine Ayu would become completely deaf she hid it well all these times behind her smile, omg Ayu

for her knee, we saw her wearing bandage in 2007 and during a-nation 09? she said she had liquid suck from her knee, didnt know it hasnt been fully heal

[Bigtop]

^ I'm feeling that if Ayu goes completely deaf...her career is over.

I don't know who is making Ayu push over her physical limits these days...herself or the management?

[YUKARI]

^ oh, it's not the management for 100%!
