Stop bashing namie. This isn't her foult, is the media. This is just like when they tried putting utada and ayu against each other.

hmm but I also remember she rode a kick scooter at her concert couple years ago...

I'm confused.

she probably doesn't drink much alcohol nowadays cause it surely affects on her balance.

I've been thinking about the recent TA entry and "Just the beginning" sounds like Just the beginning of the end to me

I always took ayu for granted. I just rewatched digests for ABL and MIJ, concerts I was so lucky to attend.




and omg, I don't want ayu to retire :cry this is so selfish, but all this time I was sure that ayu would be there until her sixties and my forties and I would always have a chance to go to see her whenever I want to and there'd be evolution-SURREAL-evolution as always and Boys & Girls and MY ALL and etc. I thought that she'd do concerts forever. and now, when it's unknown whether she continues to do it after her 20th anniversary I suddenly understood how lucky I was just to be able to see her and enjoy her performance... I really hope that miracle happens and she'll be alright but reality is cruel.

She did. That was how she fell off the stage (or into the stage, rather) during Dome Tour rehearsals and injured her leg. She went to the hospital and came back later in the day to do the show and there was only a slight delay iirc.

tldr; powering through illnesses and injuries for the sake of her shows is something she's been doing for a long, long time
