Ayumi Hamasaki Pulls Out of Nagoya Show After Unexpected Health Hiccup
Last week’s J‑pop icon, Ayumi Hamasaki, nearly had to cancel her double‑header in Nagoya when a sudden allergic emergency struck on stage Sunday, a day after her first performance had already raised a few eyebrows.
What Went Wrong?
According to a statement on the singer’s official site, crew members rushed the 43‑year‑old to a nearby hospital after she complained of severe discomfort. It turned out she was hit by an anaphylactic shock – that rare, heavy‑hit allergic reaction that can leave folks looking fainter than a ghost in a dark room.
Her agency, Avex Management, confirmed that Ayumi even lost consciousness for a moment before her condition stabilized and she was released with no lingering damage.
