'SAYAKA YAMAMOTO TOUR 2021 〜re〜 DIGEST MOVIE':

Can someone help me out? I remember coming across a video of Sayanee performing Itoshiki Natasha after a long search years ago (afaik, there have been only two Itoshiki Natasha units including Sayanee) but I can't find anything online now. Were those performances ever released? I just want to see her performing it one more time.

 

Any news on her?

 

Not that I can see.

I'm in her fan club and they just sent out the latest newsletter, but it seems to just be a retrospective of her tours and live shows from 2019-2021 with no new info like there usually is. I've seen the cover (below) but haven't read the contents though, as Japan Post is holding my newsletter because they've suspended services to Europe for now, so I don't know for sure that there's nothing.
Edit: I've just seen that they've made this issue available digitally too so I'll have a read through when I get chance. My Japanese is intermediate so I might to sit with a dictionary
Hopefully last edit: OK, no need for the dictionary, it's just photos and old interviews and reports on her old tours. Zero new content, not even a note from her.

The fan club sends out email notices periodically too but all it has been since the notice about her taking some time off is new pictures (but they're old, from previous live shows) and a quiz. I hope she's OK...

 

Hey thanks for the update. That doesn't sound reassuring, though.

Some news about Sayanee from her website.

NEWS Link : http://yamamotosayaka.jp/news/?id=351

According to Google translate, she is receiving medical treatment for thyroid gland. Seems like it was out of balance. Doing some research on the web, it can lead to swell and form a lump in the throat. Other symptoms may include depression and fatigue.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.

 

That was very informative and I'll keep a note on that.
I hope your sister is doing well too. [thumbs up]

Hi there, unfortunately I couldn't find it anymore. The closest was this clip performed during their Request Hour.

Hope she's better and this will be an announcement to return, maybe even release something! Part of me is almost worried though she'll quit entirely

 

What's going on with Sayaka?
