^ I'm not sure about the hearing loss, but she did announce her engagement to Mannie on January 1, 2011.

Numerous albums have been released on this date ((miss)understood and GUILTY off the top of my head) as well. She did announce her hearing loss on January 1st too. It seems Ayu is a big believer in the power of new year

I mean they got straight on a plane after CDL to fly to Vegas and get married Can’t remember if they got hitched on Jan 1st and she ended up announcing it later that day or if she announced a few days later that it had happened on Jan 1st

I totally forgot that timeline of events... but yeah, they got married on January 1st in Las Vegas, and she posted about being engaged on January 1st on TA. I think news websites were the ones who broke the news a few days later that they actually got married and where.
I actually got the translation from an old post of yours, so thank you for that

These kinds of love and how I show them are all different, but love takes many forms.

I, Ayumi Hamasaki, as an individual, and as a woman, have found yet another irreplaceable kind of love.

We are in a place that is closest to forever**, for sure.

Mannie, who played the husband in Virgin Road, is going to be my real husband in real life!!!

LOL I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT

Usually in the past the reason was because she also had a release coming out at the time. It would also take advantage of the 2 weeks for the last "week" of the year saleswise to maximize "first week" sales. That was also why a lot of people thought that with every release, something scandalous would also be mentioned since glitter/fated and how the Nagase breakup was announced JUST before that release. And a lot f releases after that had something that was 'big news' alongside an album or single but the single "news" was not as common.

After performing Virgin Road on Kohaku in a wedding dress after her CDL as well. I always thought the timing of everything seemed to be about promotion for Love Songs.

Damn I’d forgotten that too

2011 was a dark sided time for my Ayu fandom; I’d forgotten all this happened to essentially kick off the year lol

Also performing M on Music Station Super Live before performing Virgin Road on Kouhaku was a hint something was gonna happen

I saw this!!

I'm so keen for an album or new single!

[Earth_maiden]

^Disappointment yet again...

[truehappiness]

I do think the actual announcement means that next time there will be other things announced like new music since she got the live "breaking news" out of the way. Maybe next time will be CDL + music?
