This is an excellent theory, and certainly very plausible. Though it could be tons of reasons that they're gone, this does make sense, but it could've been she wanted a different image and needed to make some changes, which I can understand.

It certainly explains why recent stuff has been so fierce, from covers, tour logo designs, tour merch and so on. She's going in a slightly different direction and it's certainly keeping things fresh, which I like.

As for the hate against Kazuyoshi; I almost hate his photographic works. I don't care how great he was for Koda and for other artists, for Ayu it just doesn't seem to work. It's just that sometimes a 'subject' and the photographer don't go well together, so you need to find a match that works. I don't think that match works very well with him. Though not always, his PVs for example; he's directed Mirrorcle World, GREEN, Sparkle and Lady Dynamite. I loved Mirrorcle World, GREEN and Lady Dynamite; I have a love-hate relationship with Sparkle I guess.
