Singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 32, who was conspicuously absent from the 25th anniversary special of TV Asahi’s “Music Station” last Friday night, discreetly returned to Japan from Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Hamasaki disembarked from the plane wearing dark shades and a large surgical mask over her face. According to a spokesperson for Hamasaki, a calendar shoot that the singer was scheduled to appear in was delayed in LA, and she apparently contracted laryngitis shortly after that, forcing her agent to reschedule her return flight and cancel her appearance on the special.
