TOKYO —

Singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 29, on Saturday started an Asian tour in Tokyo to mark the 10th anniversary of her debut. It is her first concert since she revealed in January that she had lost the hearing ability in her left ear. At the concert, attended by 12,000 fans, Hamasaki said, “I’m able to perform tonight thanks to my fans here.” But she made no references to her hearing problem.

Hamasaki will perform 27 concerts in 10 cities nationwide through June 29, after which she will tour other Asian countries.

  Her exact words were, "I'm able to perform tonight thanks to the encouragement of all my fans at stage right."
