She's a multi-millionaire with a dedicated fanbase. She has no need to make big concerts or big tours one after another.
She could take a whole year off (or more) to rest and recover and no one would blame her and her fans would wait for her.
At the very least she should do concerts where she stays still. No dancing/jumping/running.
Sorry if this offends anyone, but Ayu is just being stupid. This isn't even her actual 20th anniversary. Her tour isn't that outstanding. She has no need to push herself this hard this year. It was stupid to book a 60-date tour with such health problems.

Yes, she is stubborn and it is probably better if she takes time off to rest. But I don't think her decision to continue on touring is stupid.
First, you may or may not believe her, but she says that performing/music is her entire life, not just a job only. She is lucky that she earns money with something she is passionate about. What is Ayu without music? It is her entire life!
And I feel her in a way. I work in creative industries as well, and her post made me think: what if I will get diagnozed with rheumatism.. or get an accident in which my hands or vision will be affected forever. Or worse.
What Ayu endures right now is a nightmare I cannot even imagine. But if it would happen to me, I would take every second to continue on doing what I love. No matter if it is not entirely healthy; I cannot imagine a life without art (for Ayu is this music, like she sings in
Love song...
Try to imagine you have limited time to continue doing what you love doing most. Something that, if you are going to lose it, you have no idea what else you can do. You will live as if your talent is a bucketlist; you make the absolute most of it, to be sure you won't miss out on anything. Resting will not win time.
I won't blame her. I would totally do the same.
