 Early in the new year, news came in that stirred the hearts of music fans of yesteryear. The &#8220;Josei Jishin&#8221; magazine reported that Namie Amuro, 45, who regrettably retired about four and a half years ago, is planning to make an electrifying comeback in Korea. The article quotes a music insider as saying
 The article goes on to state that &#8220;Korean entertainment and event-related people who have been in contact with Ms. Amuro are trying to push for her return to South Korea.
 The article goes on to say that
 &#8220;A plan to return to Korea is said to be in the works under the surface, with the Korean entertainment industry making a passionate love call for her return.

 Indeed, in the past few years, Korean DJ Night Tempo has introduced city pop and Showa-era songs popular in Japan in the 1980s to the Korean music scene, and there has been a slight boom in the popularity of Japanese &#8220;nutzumero&#8221; among local young people. It is not hard to see why there is a longing for Ms. Amuro&#8217;s return to Korea. For the Amurer generation, this sounds like a dream come true, but unfortunately, in reality, the chances of this happening are quite remote. The number one reason for retired entertainers to come back to the limelight is money.
 But she is not worried about that at all,&#8221; says an insider.
 She is not worried about that at all,&#8221; says a person involved in the project.
 She lived in Kyoto for a while, but her current residence is in Tokyo. It is an ultra-luxury property befitting the &#8220;diva of the Heisei era. If she were in need of money, she would move there first. Her children are grown up and she has already taken care of them. It is hard to believe that Amuro is still in need of money.
 Just before retiring from show business, Ms. Amuro gave a lengthy interview on NHK&#8217;s special program &#8220;Namie Amuro: The Last Confession,&#8221; in which she answered the question, &#8220;What was the final push that pushed you to decide to retire?
 She answered, &#8220;I wanted my fans to have memories of &#8216;Namie Amuro in a good state&#8217; in their hearts. That was one of the goals of the project.

 Every summer, a fireworks show is held in her hometown of Okinawa to accompany live footage of the concert, but although she has been spotted in secret at the event, she has never taken the stage. This must be her decision, as she declared to her fans that she would never take the stage again.
 This happened last year. When a lucky fan who met Ms. Amuro in Tokyo asked her for her autograph, she firmly replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m a civilian now.
 I&#8217;m a civilian now.
 I&#8217;m a civilian now. In fact, the news was greeted with a lot of positive comments on the Internet.
 I&#8217;d be happy if she came back, but I&#8217;m sure her will is unshakable.
 In fact, most of the opinions on the Internet are negative, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;d be happy if she comes back, but I&#8217;m sure she won&#8217;t waver. Looking back, the 90&#8217;s when she swept the nation was a time when Japan was still shining. Perhaps what Japan needs today is not the return of Amuro, but the birth of a new generation of stars inspired by her.
