[tabloid] Time to say "Good Bye"?! - Page 3

Four years ago, when A BEST wa released, they said Ayu would retire ...

Threee years ago, they also said that ...

Two years ago, again and again

One year ago, after Memorial address here we go again

And this year, always the same "news"

And she is still there. HK NEWSPAPERS HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, SO THEY CREATE ARTICLES WITH ONLY RUMORS.

Moreover, she wouldn't have released a new single which will probably give a new album at the end of the year ... or at least, she would release a second best-of. Imagine ... she can't retire "like that" ... it's completely stupid.

i think so too~ i dunno... will have to wait and see... but i dun wish to see it happening

ohsixthirty · #5 26th April 2005, 12:17 PM

rumor have had ayu on the brink of retiring for years now.

or getting married, or pregnant...

so i'm not too worried. even if she did retire, i'd be sad, but who can blame her?

JinHamasaki · #6 26th April 2005, 12:59 PM

Whaat that is dumb, she does that in every concert! -_-

Joey · #7 26th April 2005, 02:51 PM

Yes, if it is true, Ayu will leave a message on TeamAyu, as she did last summer when Max had to leave Avex (but he didn't in fact ^^).

But I don't believe that news, seriously. She will probably stop one day, maybe after her next album, at the end of the year (I suppose).

Orinuta · #8 26th April 2005, 05:25 PM

I hope that Ayu dosent retire, shes really good and her latest work dosent suck, its actually real good. But this surprised me:
"Daily Sun's Special News] - Lately, there has been some negative news about Ayumi. There was a rumor about her boyfriend having an affair with some other lady, causing him to dump her. Another rumor is she is retiring."
Thats..kinda...something i dont believe. and I DONT BELIEVE AYUMI HAMASAKI IS RETIRING!

mui-gei-tal · #9 26th April 2005, 08:21 PM

i just read this article in the ming pao newspaper in canada...
i hope she doesn't leave~

Coelacanth · #10 26th April 2005, 08:49 PM

The stuff they're describing about the concert is just like any concert she has ever done. If I didn't know who Ayu was and I watched Dome Tour, I would have thought it was a farewell concert... Who do these tabloids think they're fooling?

hamayu · #11 26th April 2005, 09:19 PM

dotdotdot...if she retires becuz of Tomoya Nagase den........I'll hate him forver!!!!!!!!!.....:'( but i want her to have a happy life and i have to say...if she wanted to retire I cant blame her......and i hope she has a happy retirement den.....but still I think shes a bit young for retirement...... ne?

Why do people always live by the fairy tale legend that ayumi hamasaki will quit the music scene once she gets married and will live happily ever after? I don't know but a lot of people have that thought. Let's be more realistic. Ayu is a hard worker, she surely knows how to separate private life from professional life. Imagine if every human being quit their jobs once they married? And no excuses like "she's an artist and has tons of money". Utada Hikaru, shiina ringo, aikawa nanase, namie amuro, hitomi and KEIKO, ALL got married (namie divorced but has a kid) and haven't quit their jobs at all...andayu would have to?

you make good points. i'm not sure why everyone thinks ayu will simply retire. it just seems to be a thought that a lot of people have, but i don't know why.

Probabally because that is still very common in Japan. It has been falling by the wayside a bit, as have other Japanese traditions. But I would guess that women who continue to work after they are married in Japan are still considered an exception. But Ayu has always been exceptional and with her strong women power image, I doubt she would completely retire - perhaps slow down though.

elepop · #15 26th April 2005, 10:38 PM

Oh, come on. She cries after each concert, what's the difference between this one and the other ones. When I watched 'A Museum' for the first time, i thought Ayu cried because it has her final and last concert, but it wasn't.

Those reporters simple misread her.

gogirlanime · #16 26th April 2005, 10:57 PM

laaaaaame, I want 100% proof, analyzing it like this is dumb

CaliAyuLuva · #17 26th April 2005, 11:28 PM

it makes me sick just thinking about her retiring

Brittany · #18 26th April 2005, 11:46 PM

Thanks for translating.
I doubt Ayu will retire IF she marries Tomoya Nagase. Come on, she keeps her life personal and out of the spotlight for one thing. I don't see Ayu as the type to just retire to marry and sit at home with Tomoya. There are successful artists that are married and stay in the music industry. But I can sense it coming a little, (I may be wrong) 'cos Ayu is so tired and burnt probably. It's 7 years, but it can take a toll on one's body. But look at other people in the J-Music industry, especially bands that have been still out for 10+ years.

apples · #19 27th April 2005, 12:10 AM

the article sounds kinda iffy. i dont like it it. i mean, puttin her mike down in a way that seems like she will retire, come on. HOPEFULLY this article is false and does not prove me wrong.

it will be a sad day when we see our ayu retiring. but not for now!

norain · #20 27th April 2005, 12:10 AM

Look at it this way...

ahwooooooooooooo
:This tabloid was never shown:
Awoooooooooooooo

Anyway, they've always said that she would retire, but she doesn't because somewhere somehow I remember that she said that as long as she has her fans, she will continue to give them music until no more...

I want to watch MY STORY now ;_; all of her songs Arena Tour, sigh...

Oh and to confirm it, from the concerts I've watched, like 5-7 or so...she's always cried at the end, just like boa! she always puts down the microphone and yells thank you to show that she's saying thankyou within her heart and without something to help get her message across...she always closes her eyes and puts here finger on her lips and waits til it's all quiet...
