After reading that I don't admire her or pity her at all.
She's being stubborn and destroying her body for nothing. 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. |

^Not every health issue can be solved with some rest and we have no idea of that would actually help her....

I think it's normal to be angry and think it's a stupid decision, everyone is shocked. Rest won't make her ear get better though, probably just delay the inevitable from what she's written here. It's truly awful.
I'm just sad, shocked... I've thought about her going fully deaf before and how awful it would be (I doubt I'm the only one) and now we know it's going to happen, and sooner than we think. It's devastating, on a personal selfish level and knowing that Ayu is going through it and still pushing on. |

As I already said... I'm devasted... I already spoke out my thoughts in another thread but again, the day Ayu will announce that she's entirely deaf will be one of the worst days in my life... This woman helped me so much through the last years and she still does... I can't imagine a life without Ayu making new music... I also wonder what Ayu would do... I only hope that she won't die... That's no joke! I mean, she's so dedicated to her music... What if she gets depressions, wants to die etc.... Of course I'm praying for the best and I of course want her to live but I just worry about her... Right now, it feels like a piece of my heart broke out...
And to the knee, it's a wonder she managed all these tours and the aerial stunts but now I can totally see why she doesn't do aerial acrobatic during this year's tour... Besides that, I think it'd be okay to post it YUKARI! It's very important imo and an official translation is always good to have I guess...

With the new English update, I now no longer have access to her Japanese entries up to a certain date from November until now. Odd.
Here is the 'official' English entry: Quote:

Of course rest alone wouldn't cure her. But at least her body would recover to a certain point and it's better than to keep ruining it with tours. Besides, she could (and should) visit several doctors and treat herself.
At this point she has 2 choices for the rest of her career: either a long slow burning flame or a short flashy firework. She can choose to keep pushing herself like crazy and become completely deaf in like 2 years (and maybe even stop walking). Or she can choose to cut back on the concerts, rest more, work less, and her body can last another 10 years. Her fans have been waiting for her to find a new direction in her career, to reinvent herself, to show something new. But she's been running blindly straight ahead doing the same old thing (with rare exceptions here and there). If she keeps doing it, she'll just fade away without fanfare and only be remembered for her past glory. |

^We don't know how many time she got either, neither if she keeps going or if she slows down. It would be nice to not call her stupid or whatever if you, as everyone else here, have no idea of what's really going on.

I hate to think that this finally happened to her >.<
For her knee do we know what had caused the injury? She said 6 years but she had the problem since 2007 and I remember it well seeing her bandane knee in the documentary.

I cried reading this.
What's weird is just two days ago I watched that sit down interview she did during Secret, where they ask her if she wasn't a singer, what would she be doing... and she pretty much says she can't possibly conceive anything else "I die. Music is my life. My life is music." And I was brought back to her ear failure and how depressing that must have been for her. And now I see this. I can't imagine any worse fate than this. Your aboslute passion; your life's mission; your calling... just dissipating - slipping through the cracks of your fingers, and there's nothing you can do about it. I think she knows, there will be a time when the sand runs out... and she wants to make sure that the time leading up to that inevitability is not spent being cautionary - if she loses either way, she will lose knowing she gave it her all until she physically could not do it anymore. Like "if this runs down my body, so be it - if I don't have music, what do I need this body of mine for anyway?" Last edited by Zeke.; 20th May 2017 at 01:05 PM. |

For some reason I don't feel a thing, I guess I'm just numb and I don't completely realize what I just read. Honestly imagining my life without (active) Ayu sounds so unreal and impossible. But god, I want her to get better. I admire and respect her so, so much.
