Even if that does result in drastic changes in genre, producing team, lifestyle and look...
No I really do not think she is the last-minute kind of artist. She knows exactly what she is doing.

I agree. if anything I think ayu can be pushy rather than lackluster. When she got an idea she delivers that concept rather than having the team polish the product to the degree she used to (pre-RAINBOW era I guess) or to the extent Namie does now. Therefore, the image/product of ayumi hamasaki is flawed now, because it's more integrated and honest.
Remember ayu used to say that ayumi hamasaki and ayu are two different things? - as one is the product and the other is the person. Well I think with the increasing publicity of her private life and the simultaneous strengthening of her control over her own career, that boundary is fading away more and more,,,
