Question from a Reader:
I saw that Hamasaki Ayumi mentioned that it’s “natural to change as you age” in response to comments about her appearance. I used to think she had a strong resolve not to cling to beauty, but with the recent rumors about plastic surgery, it made me wonder if she might actually be concerned about aging. What
do you think about this?
Thoughts on Hamasaki Ayumi’s Changes
Recently, there have been numerous comments regarding Hamasaki Ayumi’s appearance. I believed she possessed a strong character that didn’t hold on to beauty, but with the rumors about cosmetic surgery, it makes me think she might indeed be worried about aging. While I have my perspective as a fan, it’s also difficult to know about her life and inner feelings.
The Difficulty of Facing Aging
Public figures like her often experience pressure from a different viewpoint compared to ordinary people. Even with money and fame, they face human struggles and conflicts. Especially regarding their appearance, they must always be conscious of how they are perceived. How to confront the natural phenomenon of aging is a significant theme. Through my part-time job at a law firm, I interact with various individuals. There was a time when I noticed a client struggling with concerns about their appearance. Even while receiving legal advice, they seemed preoccupied with their looks. It reminded me that people are sensitive about their appearances, and it can significantly impact their self-esteem.
The Poverty of Spirit and Comparison with Others
As mentioned in some comments, remarks about aging may stem from a certain poverty of spirit. People project their insecurities and feelings of inferiority onto others. By comparing themselves to Hamasaki Ayumi, they may want to confirm their own standing. However, her life is hers alone, and others shouldn’t have the right to comment on it. I also occasionally grapple with my appearance and age. Some mornings, I sigh at my reflection in the mirror, while other times, sharing laughs with friends can lighten my mood. It’s natural for humans to experience such conflicts.
Share Your Experiences
Finally, I would like to hear from all of you. How do you face your age and appearance? How often are you influenced by other people’s opinions? Please share your experiences and thoughts in the comments. By sharing our feelings, we might help lighten each other’s hearts a little.
