I think you might be right. it sounds she was in a 'vengeful' mood after the cancellation of the CDL. she might be planning another audience-less concert to 'make up' for it.

[krtman2002]

It is likely that after some days of lockdown they are ready to perform the concert with no risks. I think they will perform the concert and stream it on any digital platform to be watched online.

In my sweetest dreams she announces a new album. Hahaha

^ Well, all this depends on the timing of when her birth will be as well.

this.

[Xianghua]

I feel like she posted "see you tomorrow" because her quarantine period is over and she's allowed to resume working today...lol

[kendelle]

TA sent a mail stating that after the self quarantine period that ayu and the staff will resume activities. It's not clear to me if that means the infected staff fully recovered but I hope it does

Update regarding the end of the observation period for ayumi hamasaki, support members, and associated staff.


Thank you very much for your continual support for ayumi hamasaki.

As we reported at the end of last year, novel coronavirus infections were discovered among ayumi hamasaki's support members and associated staff.
Additionally, the health care center did determine that ayumi hamasaki herself was in close proximity to an infected individual.
Therefore, the staff and support member that had the infection were instructed to receive medical care at home as per guidance by the health care center, medical professionals, etc. ayumi hamasaki as well as those that took a PCR test and received a negative result but nonetheless were deemed to have had close contact were instructed by the health care center to self quarantine at home.

The PCR testing that was conducted after the follow-up check period set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare resulted in negatives for the associated staff and support member that were originally infected with the novel coronavirus and had been receiving medical treatments. After following instructions to self quarantine by the health center due to close contact, ayumi hamasaki and related staff were confirmed to have no changes in health. Following that, starting today ayumi hamasaki will be getting back to her professional life as an artist, and the support members and related staff will resume their duties as well.

We would like to yet again extend our most sincere apologies to all of you who showed your support, as well all the staff involved that put in their best efforts. We are truly sorry for causing concern.
Irregardless of this situation, we are truly grateful for all of the encouraging words of support that came in for ayumi hamasaki, as well as the support members and staff.
We will continue to be vigilant with our infection prevention measures, and put in every effort to ensure that artistic endeavors can be carried out while maintaining both health and safety.

We thank you in advance for your continued support for ayumi hamasaki as we move into the current year.

Can anyone translate the exchange she's having with Koda Kumi on instagram's story please?
Thanks in advance!

[Evan Odinson]

^Using some help with online translation this is what I got but it can be wrong so if someone can make a more accurate translation please do so

"Yesterday, before sleeping, I had a long conversation with Koda Kumi and while we were talking animatedly about performing, the topic suddenly changed to motherhood and family (laugh)

As if it wasn't enough, out of nowhere she sent me a new song [it's a secret one] that left me with watery eyes 😭, and from there we started a long talk as singers that lasted for hours.

And just to finish: How about you stop contacting me using your real name? Seriously! I didn't know it was you and I was about to block you !! (LOL)"

that's hilarious—although if I'm not mistaken Koda Kumi's real name is definitely not far off from her stage name right? the thought of ayu seeing Kumi's name and thinking of blocking her is so funny to me

thanks for the translation Evan Odinson!

haha yeah her real name is "Kumiko" but Ayu must be so used to just "Kumi" that she thought it was someone random who got her number lol

I think she meant that kumi uses a nickname, probably nothing similar to Koda Kumi or even Kumiko haha

She wrote ガチ本名フルネームで, which means "legit real full name", so Kuu probably did contact her as Kumiko and she got confused. lol

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.

[Aderianu]

I understood only that they had night talk. And something about secret song

[indigochild]

The fact that the two fandoms used to create petty drama with each other when Kumi was starting to rise in fame back in the good ol' days
