this news has really made me sad for all of today.
to the people who are constantly flaming each other in this thread, please try to calm down and be understandable towards each other. a lot of people here are hardcore fans of ayu. not only that, she is definitely one of those rare artists that only come by once every decade or two decades or hell even three decades that make such a huge emotional impact on the rest of the world that listens to him/her. if anyone makes offensive comments, try to understand that these people are very angry and confused right now seeing an unfortunate event happen to such an amazing and inspirational individual. they probably do not even mean what they say, and i am sure they would apologize later on once they clear their minds and see the error of their ways.
her active schedule probably isnt any better for her condition, and im sure the healthiest choice is for her to take a break, but if she wants to continue, that is her choice. she mentioned in the CNN interview that she is nothing without her music and without music, she is basically dead. sure there is no treatment now, but with medical advancements these days you may never know what will come up in the future. and japan probably isnt even the furthest progressed in medical advancement compared to other countries (am i wrong? dont really know much about medical current events). i think she continues on with her career because she is not giving up hope and neither should we.
