And I also remember her saying that she stopped composing because it became too much of a chore for her and the only reason she started was to have more control over her music @ a time when she originally had very little (and because she's wasn't satisfied with the music that was given to her for M)

Of course, she clearly said that during the time of I am...,
But I clearly remember that she had said CREA created a composition,
But don't expect it to be released just because it was CREA, because she had a huge amount of other demos with it...
I can't remember if she was talking about it last year, or the year before...
If anything, maybe she is saving it for something special.
Anyways, I think everyone in the thread is speculating nonsense... and it's getting out of hand I think.
She has CLEARLY stated that she will not give up on Music, a la Microphone.
She said in CNN that without music, she will die.
This is the same Ayu you are talking about that said she wanted to try standing and strumming a guitar while singing on the Radio interview for Next Level.
She is far from finished in her music career. I don't think she will take a break, because really, what does she have without music? A house full of shoes, her puppies, and a few friends. Outside of that, she has no business to run except being Ayumi Hamasaki. She has no boyfriend, and no other family to attend to (children, etc.)
Those people who say she is creatively and physically exhausted, maybe you should listen to what she is saying, and watch her carefully in the concerts...
Especially Countdown Live 2009 - 2010, the opening lines. "Listen well, because I'm going to scream until it's all said. I'm always going to be here."
It sounds to me like she wanted to make a point.

I am not blaming her for the lack self-composing or arranging. Actually, some of her best songs are self-composed. My point was other singers like Utada (I know she writes everything, including arrangement) are devoted to their musical career. They may express it differently.
She doesn't need to say anything. She tours three times a year. She is always writing and recording. She still gets big endorsements. If you need everything told to you, I am scared for your future.

LOL this is rich, coming one day after Utada said she is going to withdraw from the music world for a while.
