It's annoying how they say things like "Ayu couldn't hear some of the questions properly". I mean like c'mon, they don't need to try to link every single piece of news to her hearing problem.
I can foresee things like "Oh, Ayu didn't perform well in today's lives because of her hearing problem." OR "Ayu had difficulties understanding questions on Hey!x3 because of her hearing problem." appearing in the media. Enough is enough. She's already going to get through with it so they ought to just leave the matter as such.
I'm just glad she's back in Japan and YES for new recordings!
