If I'm not wrong, Ayu started getting artistic freedom since LOVEppears, and she can be considered the main producer for most stuff she did since that album or Duty. Considering her re-recordings during A Best and her last time concept changing on I am... (and composing most melodies on it), I believe we can safely say she is the main producer of most of her stuff since 2001.
But on the same way Namie avoids taking credit for her songwritting, I guess Ayu avoids taking production credits to her albums as a way of avoiding the criticism. Max still is her Executive Producer I believe, so, his credit is not fake...
