NTV Special Report Broadcast

Some important incidents in her past life were revealed for the first time in this program. I'd like to report them for you.

1. In the beginning of 2001, she was told to release her best album and was shocked very much. Because she realized clearly then that she was regarded as a mere product of avex, not as a human. But she thought she liked to live as a human under such circumstances even through the fighting against the company.

2. In July 2001, she suddenly noticed in the reharsal of Dome Tour that a strange noise was heard in her left ear. She was much worried because it made her difficult to catch tones. And two hours before the concert on the first day of the tour, she fell down from the stage and got injured in the ligament of her leg. She was carried to a hospital. The doctor diagnosed it would take three weeks to heal completely, and the staffs thought the concert would be cancelled. But she returned from the hospital and said, "I do." When the Dome Tour ended, she almost lost her hearing through her left ear. (But I hear it has almost recovered now, fortunately.)

3. Before she made her debut as a singer in 1998, her grandmother was hospitalized for a serious illness. She sometimes went back from Tokyo to Fukuoka and stayed overnight there. There was a small park in front of the hospital and she often went there and was sitting idle on a bench. One day she told her grandmother that she was going to record her debut song the next day but return there after that. And she saw her grandmother drop tears, though she had almost lost her conciousness then. Her grandmother died on the very day of her recording. Mr. Matsuura told her to stop it and return to Fukuoka. But she didn't accept it and did the recording. She sent her letter by fax to her grandmother, who had already been dead in the hospital. Since then, she had never visited the hospital and the park until the day this interview was done last month.
