Don't take my word as gospel, but I'll try to answer as thoroughly as possible! ^^;
1. I believe it's just something she wanted to do. Ayu's possibly become sick of having crooked teeth (I hate mine. lol) and wanted them straight for the cover shoot. As she was shooting the B&D PV at the time, she may have wanted to do it as she was singing with an open mouth a lot Haha~
2. She's been snapped both drinking and smoking (once to my knowledge) - drinking pics appear on her friends and dancers blogs, even recently. I think she's a light/social smoker and drinker at best though.
3. Not to my knowledge - it sucks seeing as it's a fave song of mine. A PV rip was up in the Ayu Requests section recently!
4. I don't think so. A lot of her older releases had more story behind them but these days she's become more confident so she has more fun songs without deeper meanings...they still usually tell nice stories though!
5. She might be having trouble pumping out releases like she did before for a number of reasons - it could be Avex manufacturing her releases to boost popularity in the future, it could be she's having trouble writing like she did before...Ayu's entering a new era so I think her songs have changed and become a longer process.
Last year Ayu was spending heaps of time doing tours for 10th anniversary and atm she's doing a new album...once it's out I'm sure we'll see heaps of performances.
