suji 8317 Posted September 20, 2017 i've never heard of her (then again I'm vk trash), but wow, 25 years sounds like a long time, but at least it was a lengthy career. Really sucks to hear, but I wish her the best going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't even know lol I guess people started assuming she'd retire once she turned 40, which she is now. Who knows. Girl is probably tired as hell, her last tour alone went on for over 100 shows.

jaymee 405 Posted September 21, 2017 Glad she's not pulling an Ayu or Madonna and instead retiring before she gets too burnt out and all her songs sound recycled. 1 saishuu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
