OK, here's my 2 cents:
The article linked uses the word 休止 which can mean quitting but also just mean pause or rest. So there is the possiblity that this is a temporary thing. It is also clear to state that she is talking about making music, so she might continue as an actress? I consider this is something impulsive and hardly concrete.How many musicians have said "I quit" only to come back again? If it's true that she has struggles with mental health, I hope she gets the help she needs and comes back to music after that. |

I think the word "help" already implies there is a "need". If she doesn't need it, it's not really helping.
I don't like the word mental health. If she is a mental patient, then what am I, a whoremonger? The best help is the passing of time. Mariko is modern Japanese woman - liberated, hedonistic, obsessed with social media. Can she really go back to a simple, rustic life away from stardom? Let's review some of her past deeds. She got a boyfriend and dumped him after a day. She got a husband and divorced him. She disbanded Midori only to come back months later to release her solo debut. She quit her music label and soon switched to another. She closed her twitter for a few days then came back. Therefore, anyone who believes that shit has no idea how the mindset of this lady works. |

So dramatic. If she's going to keep pulling this dance, then she shouldn't have bothered saying she was leaving in the first place.

Her twitter feed said that she had to sell musical equipment to pay her hospital bills.

Her next release will be her playing the spoons and on tape recorder. I would so dig that.
But seriously. What is this she's trying? Midori reunion.

Is owning musical instruments some kind of pretentious new york art community standard? As if they're more important than her well-being?
