Thank you for today. As I told the people who watched today’s live, I suddenly had symptoms of vocal cord insufficiency. We are still conducting tests, but first of all, we will work hard to treat them so as not to bother everyone anymore. For the first time in my life as a singer for over 50 years, I will do my best!
