was really shocked to read about her news... not a very big fan of hers I must admit...I listen to some of her songs but also a wide variety of other jap songs...anyway, still sad to read about these things.

if she keeps it up isn't it dangerous for her? I mean, she could possibly hurt her right ear and go completely deaf. My dad is deaf in one ear as well and it has always been harder for him to catch what other people are saying. But at least he can still hear. Hopefully Ayumi doesn't push herself too hard and jeopardize her right hearing as well.
