I read this artcle "Ayumi Hamasaki deaf in one ear". She is a one of famous singer in Japan. Her left ear has a illness but she has no time to treat it. And there is no way to treat her defective hearing ironically. So now her left ear doesn't work completely. It is death to singer because singer must tap rhythm and sounnd. She said she continues her business. I think she feels a lot of stress and her schedule is very very hard! So she should not work too much, she has to rest for a while.

There was so crowded, so when we went home, we were very tired!
