She seems like she's ready to burn out. If you can't take the heat, get out the kitchen.
I've always thought that in the latter half of her career, she's started to surround herself with "yesmen" or people that are simply unwilling to provide any criticism to her so they can keep their jobs, they're intimidated by her.. or whatever the case may be. She also seems like she is too good of friends with her staff. This is not good. She needs to separate her work and her friends. At the same time, I know it's not particularly easy to go out and make friends when you're Ayumi Hamasaki. I know she views Nao as a friend in the industry, and that's fine. (The following is an opinion). However, he is a mediocre singer and a mediocre performer with little stage presence and no star power, moreso when he's next to Ayumi Hamasaki.
Also growing tired of all the hokey sentimental "we're all under the sky" stuff she seems to always be going on about nowadays. C'mon Ayu, just focus on making good art. I think that Ayu has a very strong work ethic, but I disagree that she is a perfectionist. She's released some songs in the past five years that could've been more polished/worked on more imo. Some songs shouldn't have even made her albums. God knows I'll always love Ayu and her music will always hold a special place in my heart, so I hope no one continues to tell me WHEN and HOW I should criticize her. It's tough love man, some fans get really passionate and are going to call it as they see it.

Sorry, put I can't see any points in your post that I could agree with.
She hasn't said that she's not interested in working anymore. She isn't stressed because of her work, she is stressed because of
her fans.
I mean, you would be quite sad too, if half of your supporters say that everytyhing you do nowadays is ****, oh, and by the way, you have wrong persons to work with. Wouldn't that let you down a bit?
And just say to me, who you would like to stand next to ayu? Who is as superior as her, that all the other artist in the World are worthy to work with her? I'm sure, that some of the fans say that no one is. Because I think, to some, ayu is like a Goddes of some sort. I think that is really insane thought [I'm not saying that you are like that, but I think there are people like that somewhere...]
And it's okay that people don't agree. But...I just think that you make some excuses in your post. Like to say that it's not good that she is friends with her staff, or that she is stressed because of her work. At least I don't see that. But I'm not gonna say that you have to believe me.
I like Nao [With ayu and with AAA] and I'm really sad that he gets all the hate [and Ayu gets all this hate because she chose Nao], as his supporter, even without ayu, I dunno, but I feel that some people might think that I'm someway hypocritical because I support him..suddenly, it just feels bad to be a fan of AAA as well...
Really get over with it, would you? It is just 2 duets and one a-nation show. Why all this massive anger is coming out? I don't like it...
