Cancellation Notification for the ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2020-2021 A ～MUSIC for LIFE～ Broadcast


Thank you for your continued support of ayumi hamasaki.

ayumi hamasaki and her staff have been preparing for the live countdown broadcast scheduled for Thursday, December 31.
However, Monday, December 28, one of our support members felt ill, and the results of a subsequent PCR test found that they were infected with the novel coronavirus.
We immediately reported the case to the public health center of our jurisdiction, and they are currently undergoing medical treatment and observation under the guidance of the public health center.

Those who have likely been in close contact with the virus include ayumi hamasaki, who participated in rehearsals, the backup band, and nearby staff. For this reason, ayumi hamasaki, the backup band, and all affiliated staff members who were in close contact have taken PCR tests and are currently waiting on the results.
Whatever the results of these tests may be, the healthcare center later determined that ayumi hamasaki herself qualifies as someone who has been in close contact with infected persons.

Due to the fact that ayumi hamasaki will not be able to perform a period of time, we have no choice but to cancel the ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2020-2021 A ～MUSIC for LIFE～ broadcast.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and ask fans their understanding.


We will begin refunding tickets to those who purchased spots for the performance broadcast.

CDL just got canceled....

[Katsuyuki012]

I'm so disappointed.

[Chris85]

What a horrible twist. Was looking forward to the show. One financial loss for AVEX after another.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I’m concerned for Ayu and all her staff
I hope they’ll all be okay

[truehappiness]

This is a scary situation and I think they will be doing the live at some point but I really hope everyone will be fine.

[maxikot]

My thoughts are with her staff and everybody in general affected by the current situation.

[alternarist]

This is scary, but I guess the safety of everyone is more important than anything else. Hopefully no one else in ayu's troupe catches Covid.

[LONJJONG]

Oh no, I hope everyone’s fine

[mi|kshake]

Disappointing but totally understandable. Hope the member of staff recovers and that everyone else is OK!

[Chibi-Chan]

This is too bad but totally understandable. I hope she will be able to perform the show at some point. It's a lovely theme.

[~angel*ayumi~]

2021 is 20th Anniversary of A BEST, maybe she can hold the show on the 28th March, maybe even with audience, it´s a sunday^^

[AyUmIXx]

oh no, hope everyone is okay, specially ayu who's pregnant. pray for all of them.

[Katsuyuki012]

Too bad that the CDL, out of all concerts, had to get cancelled... Yea, they could do it at a later date but I think the countdown is an important factor of the show. It really adds to the hype, so it's incredibly unfortunate that they had to cancel it.
If they want to hold it at a later date, then I assume it's going to be relatively soon (assuming nobody else is sick) because I think there will be a few months where Ayu can't perform due to pregnancy/giving birth. Unless she wants to do a PL 2.0 (which I loved but she was very exhausted afterwards).

I hope that nobody else got infected. Especially since Ayu is pregnant... Even if she were to have a 'light' version of the virus, it would definitely take its toll on her health. Pregnancy is already a lot to deal with for one's body...

[kotora]

She can sing on Zoom meeting and broadcast by herself.
Like what ladygaga did.

I hope she would not affect by this. Coronavirus can be very dangerous to pregnant women.

Wait what? There was going to be a band? Could be just the chorus tho

Hope everyone is ok. I doubt They reschedule the concert anytime soon. They’ve learned the lesson the hard way.

[truehappiness]

Yeah, the band was shown rehearsing a bit ago. Yocchan and everyone.

[Deep snow]

how truly awful that that one staff member got infected. I hope they are eventually OK and I hope they did not end up infecting many in the company, especially not the pregnant ayu. this must be such a disappointing blow for her—first the cancellation of the in-person concert and now the cancellation of the concert altogether

so sorry for everyone who has purchased tickets. this is just very sad news.
