That's so sad
thanks for sharing

Ayu is a strong human being, with anxieties like everybody else...

This message reminds me of the concept of BIG FISH, by Tim Burton. Once you are not afraid of death anymore, like the protagonist in BIG FISH, Edward Bloom, who sees at the beginning of the film how he is going to die, you become stronger and stronger, you are not afraid of anything, and you do everything you want, because you know when and how you will die, and while you do not experience what you saw in that vision, you keep living, no matter what, even if you make very very risky things...

Ayu is conscious that one day she may lose her hearing. However, that time has not come yet, and she keeps fighting everyday to offer her best, to share the best of her.

And of course, we should not forget the power of her fans, she is really lucky to have that, not everybody has that kind of support in hard times.

i can just bow here :) That's the spirit! Keep it on ;)

aww poor ayu. i know how it feels when u lost a dear person:(

Wow, such a long message. It was so sad, yet so inspiring. Its posts like these that remind me why I became such a huge fan of hers.

Does anyone know who is aneki? o.o

But what a wonderful honest msg. Amazing singer and human being she is.

Click the ayumix link and you'll see explanations. Aneki is a word for sister or best female friend it says.

Woooow... how I love her!!!!

I really love when the big stars shows that kind of image (how can I say it...?) yes, when she show her pure feelings teling us that she's a human after all...
she's so brave and am so proud of her every day, because she is a strong woman who loves all the things that she make!

I LOVE YOU AYU!!!

She's amazing.
Love her more than ever!!!

Go AYU!!!

thanks for sharing

oh wow, Ayu really is an inspiration
Felt kinda teary reading that...
"From the day I decided that, I made a vow never again to complain or make any excuses." - that really stuck out to me

i can feel how frustrated it must be for her that her left ear isn't working and that she won't be able to sing like she used to. she's one strong woman. she's accepting the fact that her vocals are going downhill and she's happy around the people she's with. she's absolutely inspiring.

thanks for sharing, she's such a strong person.

Ayu is very THE BEST. She is strong and sensitive. I think we isn't her fans but her friends because she open us her heart. Thanks Ayu. We are with you forever. We will follow you everywhere because we love you truly.

thanks for translation^^
