Thanks Takachan for the info. We still have a long way to go for a reliable electronic translation.

Guys, here are the key points.
1.  Seiko was pulled off the stage by a male fan, resulting in a sprained back. 
This caused her to changed the show contents in the 3rd show at Kyoto. The doc 
said that she would require 3 weeks for a full recovery.

2. This happened during the encore when she was doing usual light hi-fives 
touches with the fans while singing the 20thParty. One male fan grabbed her by 
both hands and she fell-off the stage which was about 1m high, and was carried 
away by the staff immediately. 

3. The place was at Gifu, and it was the 2nd show of the Annual Year-end 
Dinnershow tour. All the remaining 13 shows had been sold out and Seiko said 
that she would go on with the shows even up to the Osaka CountDown to avoid 
fan's disappointment. Already in the 3rd show, she had removed some of the mid 
tempo songs and replaced them with Ballades...  

One disappointment is the removal of "Hato no Rock" which was the climax for 
most fans as she has not sung that for ages...at least> 15years. 

I pray for her smooth recovery soon, but I also wished that she would realize 
that even if she had stood motionless, without any dancers etc, as she is 
singing mid-tempo songs etc, no fan would think of her as less professional. It 
is her vocals and vocal delivery that we love most about.... not clothes, not 
make-up, not handshakes....
