d. the Miniere disease, which led her to deafness. of course, it's difficult to sing if you can't hear yourself.

these are my suppositions
Considering that Ayu said earlier this year when asked about smoking, "I hate the smell of the smoke" or something to that effect, she has either since stopped or the paparazzi photo was fake or edited.

However, she was a heavy drinker (not alchie status, but enough that she had one fridge dedicated to beer ) until last year, and that will arguably have an evem worse effect long term on your voice than cigarettes.
