Fans panic as all traces of the great pop star dubbed the ‘Japanese Madonna’ are erased from the internet, her social media deleted and music wiped from Spotify and YouTube

The pop singer dubbed the ‘Japanese Madonna’ has left fans upset and panicking after all traces of her disappeared offline.

Namie Amuro, 46, is a huge star in Japan with a career spanning more than 30 years, with 12 albums, 40 million record sales and 10 number one singles.

She announced her retirement in 2017 after wrapping up her final tour the following year.

But in recent months, not only has Namie disappeared from the public eye, but so has all her work.

Fans have noticed that the singer’s social media has all been deleted, including her Facebook page and fan page.

Her official website and online store are also no longer active, and now her music is disappearing offline as well.

Dozens of admirers posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, revealing they had lost access to her songs on Spotify or Apple Music.

Likewise, her YourTube channel has been completely removed from the popular star’s music videos.

“THEY REMOVED NAMIE AMURO’S MUSIC FROM SPOTIFY,” one upset fan posted.

Another wrote: ‘Not Namie Amuro’s entire discography leaving Spotify’ and another said: ‘Two hours ago I was able to listen to Namie on Apple Music.’
