That makes me really not want her to ruin her voice permanently! Take a break, please!
It's not like people would forget about her either if she went on hiatus-- Do As Infinity did it. Utada did it (twice.) Namie Amuro did it too before, right? And those are all still really popular acts.

Exactly. There IS such a thing as over-saturation. Unfortunately I think avex wants to milk the #1 streak as long as they can from Ayu for bragging rights, when really they should be focusing their attentions on their other powerhouse acts (let Namie have the pressure for a while, k? And not because I think she deserves it :lol She's just the only one who can really manage it in Ayu's absence, though I think she's a far cry from Ayu).
So, yeah. Ayu should get at least a 6 month vacation to recharge herself, to focus more on her work WITHOUT needing to rush out a single or an album or a tour, etc. I'm getting a little tired of making excuses to myself for her work, which has been pretty lackluster since 07 (for me).
But that's a side tangent! Sorry guys ^^
