Tabloids reporting rumors of retirement after Ayu turns 40

[truehappiness]

Not that there's a lot of value in it, but earlier today a lot of papers put out 'news' that rumors are swirling that Ayu will likely retire soon, announcing it at her 40th birthday.

Personally, I don't think it will happen, but the rumors are probably swirling for some reason in particular.

I think it's a total bs. She's always said that music is her life and she's been touring like crazy. I just don't see this happening at all. They also incorrectly state that her sales don't exceed 10 000 copies nowadays.

[Evan Odinson]

^Agree and besides, tabloids have been reporting about her "retirement" since... 2010 if I'm not mistaken lol

[truehappiness]

Well, since she was big, there were reports about abortions and all that too, lol. Retiring is something that comes up a lot but not like this, I guess.

The whole '10k sales' thing is probably related to some other singles.

I don't think she will retire, but I think she is slowing down her work.

This fake tea is because of Namie Amuro retirement. The media is trying to use her on ayu.

[jiarongisme]

Heeeere we go

[summerain]

If she's gonna retire, I guess it will be solely because of her hearing loss and I think it's not going to happen anytime soon, 'cause girl seems to be training so hard to sing and perform even with her trouble.

Not counting the fact this chick just released a fucking whole album basically saying she's not giving up hahaha it's clearly some tabloids milking some money on Namie's decision.

Because of someone retired at 40 years old doesn’t mean that everyone has to be retired at 40 years old. What kind of news/logic is that?! Ridiculous to me. 🙄🙄🙄

[SunshineSlayer]

The article is written very gossipy and doesn't seem at all official, just pure speculation and probably was used as an excuse to get the name Namie Amuro into the article because her retirement news is what's getting all the clicks.

[Andrenekoi]

Tabloids are saying Ayu is about to retire for over a decade now.

It’s half an album actually 😽

[DevilHunter_04]

Even though it's a bunch of bull that she'll announce her retirement next month, whether we like it (or she likes it) she'll have to retire sooner than later with her health issues. :/

[alternarist]

well, situations may change. who knows she might hold a special concert on 08.04.2019 on her 21st anniversary to announce she's gonna get married and settle down?

[freedreamer]

At least she even makes the tabloids for her alleged retirement LOL
just because Namie did it, everyone else should retire at 40..what on earth

[BlackSilence]

Saw that on ARAMA and was like WTF?

It doesn't quite make much sense.
I'm wondering where do they get that sort of information from.
Also arama of course is just being a douch to her as usually.

Also Namie was already doing REALLY FUCKING WELL before she announced the retirement that skyrocketed her sales even more, so i don't quite see the logic here with where Ayu is.
