According to a rough translator, she cut her hair a week after she announced the breakup (last paragraph).

あゆ 髪切って吹っ切った!?

　ＴＯＫＩＯの長瀬智也（２８）との破局を発表したばかりの歌手・浜崎あゆみ（２８）の最新シングル「ｇｌ ｉｔｔｅｒ／ｆａｔｅｄ」が３０日付のオリコンランキングで１位を獲得したことが２３日、分かった。これで １９９９年から９年連続での１位獲得となり、女性アーティストのシングル連続１位獲得年数で中森明菜と並び 、歴代１位となった。

　“歌姫”に新たな勲章がまた加わった。「１位獲得数」「トップ１０獲得数」「総売り上げ枚数」「ミリオン 獲得数」の女性アーティスト歴代１位記録に新たな足跡をしるし、５冠を達成した。

　本業では私生活の雑音もどこ吹く風という人気ぶりを見せつけた浜崎は、「１位獲得、そして新たに５つ目の 記録をいただき、私を支えてくれているみんなにとても感謝してます」とファンに向けてのお礼のコメントを発 表。

　破局を明かした１週間後には、テレビ出演後に髪を切って気分転換も図り、「これからもファンの方々に喜ん でいただける作品づくりにがんばっていきます」と前向き。破局ショックをみじんも感じさせることはなかった 。

AYU CUTS HAIR, GETS OVER IT!?

As of the 23rd, it is known that “glitter/fated”, the new single of Ayumi Hamasaki (28), the singer who just announced her breakup with TOKIO’s Tomoya Nagase (28), has taken the number 1 spot on the Oricon ranking dated the 30th. This marks 9 years of consecutive number 1’s since 1999, and, together with Akina Nakamori, the all-time longest consecutive number 1 singles by a female artist.

The 'songstress' has again found her way among new honors. With footprints in all-time records like “Number of Number 1’s”, “Number of Top 10’s”, “Total Sales”, “Million Sales Mark”, she has been crowned 5 times.

Hamasaki, who has proven popular in her profession no matter what the clamor in her personal life, announced a thank-you comment to her fans, saying, “I am very touched by all of you who support me as I receive the number one spot with this newly quintupled record.”

A week after revealing the breakup, she has cut her hair after a television performance, and, aiming for a change of pace, is positive that, “[she] will continue to do [her] best to produce things that will make all of [her] fans happy.” She showed not the slightest bit of shock from the breakup.
