I don't see why everyone thinks she's over-exposed...if anything, she's LESS exposed than she used to be. Her releases are far less frequent, and she advertises for products a lot less than she used to. She was advertised so much more when she was still with Tu-Ka.
And for the show...I enjoy it. I think the more recent episodes are not as funny and enjoyable (to someone who only understands some Japanese) than the earlier ones were. I remember the episode with ELT, and that was hilarious!
I too would like to see the return of CREA though...every song except connected from "I Am..." was either composed or co-composed by her, and I, along with many others, consider that her best work. I think a lot of it though may be that her personal style leans towards a rock + club ish mix, and her voice is not as well suited for that anymore, like it once was. She's much more into ballads now...they're easier on the vocal chords.
