Ayu's not going to take a long hiatus, ever. She's not interested - making music is her life and she'll keep pumping out the releases until she retires. If anything, she'll be back with another release by the Japan summer. We won't have to wait too long.

And I hate to admit this, but in hindsight LOVE again was just not to Ayu's usual standards. The mini tracks were mostly good, but the album as a whole played it too safe. It felt very uninspired - music for the sake of making music. I hope Ayu goes back to experimenting with her sound more. I'm over the nostalgia trip. It was her least memorable album to date for me, since A Song for XX.
