MY FIRST STORY

Actress and former AKB48 member Mayu Watanabe has announced that she will be retiring from show business. Recently, she has been on hiatus from social media but briefly came back to share the news with her fans.

She confirmed that she had parted ways with her agency Production Ogi, and that she will be retiring from working as an entertainer effective immediately. “Health Reasons” were the official reason why she will be retiring from the industry.

We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback! This is where we look back on what topped the charts this week 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.

Following her 50 minute long “M” and 90 minute long “A Song for xx” live compilation videos, Ayumi Hamasaki has given “SEASONS” similar treatment.

The 45 minute long “SEASONS” live compilation video sees Ayu performing the song at various concerts over the course of 18 years, starting with “ayumi hamasaki concert tour A Dai 1 Maku” and ending with “ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2018 ~POWER of MUSIC 20th Anniversary~.”
