I loved the last three albums, and her voice is getting better imo. It was its worst at the end of 2007 with the ear problem taking its toll, but.. mmm! Love her.
I don't think she needs a break at all. Personally, I don't think a break would do anything but make fans irritable. It's not like the time she spends on a record actually factors into the quality.. for all we know some of her better albums might've been made in the same time frame.
I think people tend to blame Ayu when they personally don't like the albums or anything.. the albums are still high quality, just not to your tastes, you know? I don't get it. If you're growing away from Ayu, it's not because she's changing.. if anything it's because you as a listener are because she's still making the same quality music as before.. hm.. haha. Not really pointing fingers here, just saying in general.
ALSO: I don't understand why people seem to have this weird ficticious past of her vocal.. it's ALWAYS been unstable. God, her vocal is the best it has been since 2002/2003 aka the year of the AMAZING VOCALS and people are like: "It's terrible!" when they hear her at a live.. I swear, it has always been like that and people have past Ayu on some pedestal like she never did wrong vocally/musically.. oi.
