omg I just saw the post on Instagram. the first and last big news?! is she going to retire?

I guess she'll say she's going to retire and her 25th year will be the last year of her career and she'll launch the last tour

oh no no no, I can't imagine my life without ayu!

If she's going to retire, I'm okay with that. She doesn't need to show anything more. She is already a legend in Japan.

In the latest TA blog Ayu talked a bit about planning for 25th Anniversary Live

“ I wonder if everyone wants to listen to rare songs or nostalgic songs. ? ?”

She also said she wants to perform album tracks from Remember You.

Imagine if she does a 2.5-3 hrs show and the set list is 1/3 classics/nostalgia, 1/3 rare/never performed and 1/3 tracks from Remember You…and then she announces retirement.

It sounds like retirement, which does not surprise me. Before, her health condition was only affecting her own life and she was pretty clear on going till the end.
Now that she has someone to take care of, I guess and hope she realized she may should stay healthy to experience as much of her childs life as possible.

Putting a random and cryptic insta post four month ahead is not a very classy way to deal with it tho - given it is retirement indeed.

Retirement or a final tour before retirement. I guess both are valid. It saddens me a bit but com on, her health lately is not that good.

She needs to rest and to raise her children. And to see her EU/US fans by visiting their country. :p

But come on, 4 month before we know ... :/

If she was thinking of announcing that she's retiring, she wouldn't have sung Decision and Love Songs during the CDL since those are songs about how she's firmly going to keep singing/be an artist at whatever cost.

I guess it could be that
- her 25th anniversary tour will be her last one but she will keep releasing songs now and then at her own pace
- a world tour that will be her first and last world tour
- she's leaving Avex and continuing her career on her own

She has been wearing a 25th Anniversary hoodie on her CDL preperations and it says ARIGATO in the bottom of the back. I actually got retirement feeling of that as well this is so sad if it turns out to be true even tho we all know she can't go forever


I wonder when these tickets goes for lottery? Maybe on January? I have to join TA before they do

I think there's a very high chance it's retirement too. I just hope she will give her fans one year period to attend her last tour or something before she really goes out of sight.

And now I think of it, the album "Remember you" will be her last album too, with the title saying ayu will "remember you" (all of her fans) :'(

I hope she just stops touring but will continue with her music, that would not be that painful as a complete retirement.

The phrase on the 25th anni shirts/sweaters might have a hint maybe?

"HOW FAR HAVE YOU WALKED?
HOW FAR TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO?
HOW FAR DO YOU WANT TO WALK?
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE SCENERY WITH?"

or something like that...

I am not delusional, I'm just trying to pick up elements, but a retirement would be very surprising as she still seems to be in this "no matter what I'll sing as long as I can" place.

Of course it's a possibility but it would be quite shocking imo.
As much as I "know" her that announcement means "more" than "less".

But once more I could be totally wrong. I personally wish she could release music forever, but I also wish she would take care of her health better. Especially with her hearing issue.

Are they lyrics from her song? I just can't remember which one.

I don't care about her legend status or stuff like that, I want her to keep singing for the very selfish reason of her being one of my favourite singers. I don't care whether she has to stop touring, become a private person or whatnot, all I'd like is for her to release some music here and there. It doesn't even matter if it'd take 10 years until a new album, just knowing that something is on the horizon would be enough.

I can't stand the fact she just leaves us hanging like that. Just say what it is now, so everyone can prepare and not be anxious until April 8th, while trying to decipher all kinds of cryptic messages. I really hope it's just her leaving avex or something. That would be big news.

Her “ I made up my mind” made me more suspicious.. like ayu, if you really want to retire. Please announce it now, not 4 months later. There are many of us still haven’t had a chance to attend her live concert. At least, give us a Time frame. Thanks
