I think a hiatus would be risky, maybe, since the japanese market is so reckless, fast and full! No, I don't think Ayu needs one, but I think that it'd be good she becomes at least a little bit more focused, taking matters a little bit more in her own hands like before, instead of leaving it in Avex staff hands. Even if she understandably doesn't feel like having that level of perfectionism like before anymore, I think she relies a little too much on the others nowdays.
