You must be mixing with the broken leg incident of the DOME TOUR 2001 where the doctors told her to rest but she performed at the same day with hurtful leg and still did it.

Oh, alright, sorry, I was mislead >.>

I'm just going to say, we didn't know she had the ear problem till this year, who's to say we don't know more about the whole thing? We don't have her medical charts and records. I'm not saying I don't trust what she says, but she took a long time to finally say that she'd lost her hearing in that ear...

I'm pretty sure that like 60% or more of Ayu fans believe that touring caused her ear damage. Which is totally an unfounded claim, tbh.

We didn't know? She told us in 2004, and everyone in Japan panicked because no one knew. Of course, you don't seem to know about that NTV interview where she basically revealed that A BEST was avex's idea and that her ear didn't work..

The ear problem thing began in 2000 with the concert tour 2000 A part 2 and she had some sort of ear infection and ended up cancelling a few shows... then she did DT01 and it got baaaad.

Exactly. I don't think Ayu is leaving the music industry anytime soon. I don't even think avex thought of this at all. hitomi had ovarian cancer and went through a divorce (both worse than a deaf ear and a breakup) and not to mention that her sales suck compared to Ayu. She's still going and avex is still keeping her. So why would Ayu be gone soon?

^I'm sure that the touring didn't exactly help the underlying cause, however

Actually, the notice about her ear problems have long been known I think 3 to 4 years ago. I actually didn't hear about it the first time this year, for sure. She never made any reference to the poor prognosis it would have though, which she did only recently, shocking a lot of ppl.

Touring most likely had no effect over her prognosis. Touring or not touring, she'd still lose her hearing.

OMFG THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! I will be in Japan when this is out

I hope the covers will be hot hot hot!

Just know it's there =P (and I posted the pic here).

The mixi says like..." because "the queen" has surpassed selling like millions of cds, she can at last introduce this compliation. She approached her 10th anniversary in april; the popular singer "Hamasaki Ayumi" has released 43 singles, and each one of these singles have been remastered for this compilation. It's the ultimate best album entitled temporarly "A COMPLETE ~All Singles~", and will be sold on thursday, sept 10. Hamasaki says that with this, she has 10 years of history packed together for everyone. And because she just crossed the borders into asia, and she will continue to love everyone, she wants to continue to deliver her singing voice to everyone. She's been pulling off hit songs again and again, and she looks forward to continuing the asian tour.

Since her debut in 1998 with Poker Face, Ayu has always been the one who runs the JPOP scene, and now, she's looking back to those times. She has re-recorded "Who...", and all her a side singles are being offered along side the Who... new song, and will all be offered. Also, the Team Ayu concert tour will be offered for sale, and all previously unreleased cover jackets will be released.

Before this release, she will attend A-Nation, in Tokyo. Then she begins her Asia Tour at the Asia World Expo. She is saying "On to the Tour!", as she screams it well. She adds, "To everyone who has supported me in these past 10 years, and the staff that helps me, thank you so very much," and feels those thankful feelings."

Losing your hearing majorly affects your ability to sing. One ear's already done, and by the looks of things, she's not really making any attempt to make sure the other one doesn't go either. She lost her boyfriend of years, she lost a dear friend, she's getting older, ten years is a long time to be in the music industry, and she's no Hikki, she's no Namie, she's slowly becoming disabled. That makes a lot of difference than singers who've been around a long time and are still moving.

The way I see it, she's easing us into the end, I'm taking A COMPLETE as a sign towards that direction.

I had to laugh aloud as I read your post. thank you. <3 I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound nasty, but I can't help, but interpretate it that way. <3

Limited edition sleeve?
Does it mean slip case ala A BEST 2 first press or sleeve ala Mirrorcle World first press?

She gives off, to me, a sort of fragile vibe, like, someone who's been through enough trauma and should be protected from anymore to be perfectly honest ^^;;

That poker face image with the bathroom tile is actually very cute XP

No, like sleeve as in packaging. I changed it.

The first post states that it will be housed in an ANNIVERSARY BOX.

Also, the final CD is sort of strange, as it has "14" tracks while each of the others have 15. Perhaps a hidden track for this release is in order?

[aqua_crystal]

AWESOME!!! And it's sooooo cheap!!!!!!!!

Really? I don't recall there were a lot of hype on news sites talking about A BEST 2... oh well might be as well senile at my old age, 19 =P
