It's been announced that Hamasaki Ayumi's online countdown live 'ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2020-2021 A~MUSIC for LIFE~' on December 31 has been canceled. 

This concert was supposed to be held with an audience, but was decided ten days prior that it would be held without an audience in compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines. However, one of the support members felt ill on December 28, took the PCR test, and was confirmed positive for the virus. Consequently, Hamasaki was identified to be a person of close contact and will be halting her activities for the time being. 

Details regarding ticket refunds will be published on Hamasaki's official website.
