Ayumi Hamasaki restarts activities at the end of voluntary quarantine, Mama talk with Kumi Koda reveals a bitter voice to the "downhill" diva

Attention is focused on the restart declaration of Ayumi Hamasaki (42). Hamasaki abandoned the live broadcast of the unattended countdown live scheduled for New Year's Eve last year due to the corona infection of the concert support member. Although she had a negative PCR test, she lived a two-week quarantine life as a close contact, and recently commented on SNS.

"I'm not giving up on entertainment. I'll keep that, and I'll live forward, believing that the day I'll be on stage will come back."

Specifically, we have already announced that we will release the best album of ballad songs in March, but as the corona wreck continues, it is difficult to hold spectator live that fills the dome, so we will deliver live without spectators. There will be no way but to do it.

However, the public reaction does not seem to be so positive.

In SNS, following the declaration of restart, she exchanged emails with singer Kumi Koda (38), revealing that Mama Talk had blossomed, and spelled out that "the story I arrived at" was "let's pot", but "Hamasaki" "It's divine just because Ayumi and Kumi Koda are involved," while the harsh voice of the diva who passed the peak was flooded on the net. The sports paper entertainment desk says:

"Ms. Hamasaki is the first to talk about private matters when trying to create a buzz before the release of an album. This time with Ms. Koda was also seen as creating a topic for taking a new step. In retrospect, if the previous previous marriage announcement (the other party was an Austrian actor) and the divorce were announced during the New Year period, so was the marriage divorce with a younger US graduate student. A surprise in private life. It is true that Ms. Hamasaki's star character has increased as the announcement has been widely covered by the media, but it is no longer fresh. "

Hamasaki gave birth to her first child, a boy, in November 2019. On her 42nd birthday, she announced her second child pregnancy on October 2, last year, and is now believed to be raising her child by weight.

"Avex, to which she belongs, announced the sale of the head office building in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo at the end of last year. The theory of sale is the drama M". It is said that it has been around since "Gaite" was aired, but Ms. Hamasaki has not commented. "(The entertainment desk mentioned above)

Hamasaki's momentum dropped after her peak from the 90's to the 2000's. The days of struggling with her many entourage are long gone. She has been working as a fertilizer for scandals, following the American pop queen Madonna, but there is a cold breeze at his current location.
