The long awaited episode of NTV’s “Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q!” has finally aired and Amuro Namie appeared on the show to surprise Imoto Ayako.

For years on the show, Imoto Ayako has discussed how much of a fan she was of Amuro Namie, going to great heights to show her love.

And with Amuro retiring on September 21st, Amuro made her first and last appearance on the show.

The show began showing various segments with Imoto Ayako doing whatever was necessary for her to meet Amuro Namie. From going to Taiwan and taking an Amuro style photo at a photo studio, on May 17th, going to the airport when Amuro arrived, the goal was to take a two-shot with Amuro, but of course there was so much press that while Imoto was several feet away and saw her, because of the huge amount of press and fans, she didn’t meet her nor did Imoto want Amuro to think she was part of the paparazzi.

Then Imoto learned how to do various (painful) workouts for the sake of Amuro Namie and getting a ticket to watch her final tour performance in Taiwan on May 20th. Imoto said after the concert in tears, “I have to accept it, I will never be able to see her again in a live performance”.

After watching her tour, Imoto then went into a restaurant that serves snake food where the female employees wore floral dresses. Seeing this as another challenge for her to someday meet Amuro Namie, Imoto has already endured so much and is willing to do so.

As Imoto is recording and speaking to the camera, she has no idea that Amuro is the special guest and when Amuro (wearing a white floral dress) comes in to pretend she is a waitress (Amuro is standing there for a minute behind her, waiting for the perfect opportunity to surprise her) and serve her tea, Imoto rises her to her feet and is shocked, saying “What’s happening? What do I do? What do I do?” and starts crying and says to Amuro, “I love you so much!”.

Afterward, Amuro sat on her chair to see how much Imoto did to meet her and also Imoto flying on a plane and even going to the mountain top to perform “Hero” which led to Amuro shedding tears to see how much of a fan Imoto is.

Amuro was touched by how far Imoto had to endure as a fan. In addition, Imoto got to get several two-shots with Amuro Namie on her smart phone.

Imoto said to Amuro in tears, “I have lived for 32 years, and I have not had a happiest day in my life such as today”.
