I never knew she was known worldwide

[mihimalove]

haa....Ayumi become deaf???
poor her
i hope she can get recover....

[Fralin]

wew it really a big news for her fans
but she said she will continue singing, than its okay, im sure it will not affect her music carreer

[person]

Yeah, I heard about this a few days ago. At least she's not letting this affect her career.

[Nightshade]

She's going to continue singing till her right ear's limit .. anything for the fans ay?

[omnistry]

Hey if Stephen Colbert can do his thing with only one good ear, then so can Ayumi!

[gensan]

"I won't stop. I won't make excuses. As a professional, I would like to deliver the best performance for everyone."

I like that quote. Well gud luck to her.

[gorn_nova]

I also read that article in today newspaper..Is it incurable? O.O

[veluna20]

^ is NOT, according to Ayumi's team doctor

Anyway, if u read other sources, she was compared to Beethoven. Tho' I am proud that Ayumi is compared to a maestro, but I think they are too overwhelm with this. Beethoven is deaf in both ears while Ayumi just lost her left ear.

[flyhigh1030]

i'm not surprised;
all her concerts are like...BANG

her singing's kinda off on her lives now..
but she's still wonderful
i lvoe her

but it's still a big thing for a singer isn't it?

[DEPTHSING]

O_O

so she's now DEAF in 1 ear...i read from the news she has "problem" wif 1 ear..did't noe it translates to being deaf. gawd.hope her music does not turn for the worse.

[saikira]

i think im startin to liked her now~
not quittin her career bc of some problem

[roglas]

That's pretty courageous of her to keep on going with her tour, but if her other ear gets affected, she should stop touring.
Better than not being able to create music anymore..

[kago]

poor ayumi
that`s way i always remind my friend to hear musik at moderate volume
