~Her message on her offical fans website!
Rough translation: This year i has a wild aspiration. Actually last year, i had went for a ear inspection, and found out that my left ear has gone deaf and it's not treatable anymore. Even so, i still wishes to be a singer. Thus, i will use the rest of my right ear to sing till it loses its function as well or till its very limit. I will not give up. I will not find any excuses. As a professional singer, i will definitely give the best singing that i have to everyone. Ganbatte ah.. Must ganbatte!!!! Must!!!!!! Till that day arrives...
OMG! When i heard this news, it almost makes me cry. I've always been admiring how much she can sing each year. Now i wish she will take it slower and give her ear some breaks every now and then rather than belting out single after single... doing all those music show lives... then going on tour and doing CDL. But I do admire her attitude towards this. I can't even imagine what it's like to have music be such an important aspect in one's life and only have the ability to experience it with limited senses. She's so strong. Oh I can say now is that I'll support her music till the day when she retires from the music industry! :)
