Hamasaki first thanked fans for their support at her countdown live held on New Year's Eve. She continued, "I gave birth to an angel and became a mommy late last year. I am still unable to manage things as desired, and there are many days when I am disappointed in myself. But for my child's life and future, I ask that you watch over us quietly."
