Despite your concerns, the way some of you talk about her makes it hard to believe sometimes that you're her fans tbh
I don't know. As an international fan, I'm craving for new music since that is the only new proper content I can enjoy or the only way I can connect with her. If I were a Japanese fan maybe I would be happy that after all the years in arenas I get to see her closer in smaller shows. Also, when Ayu is performing there's still that fire in her eyes that she hasn't lost despite all the medical or technical issues. It's something she genuinely seems to enjoy doing, not something she does just to earn money.
And about the lack of new music. Yeah, i want a new album SO bad but for me worst thing would be if she started to stop writing her songs and just purchased some demos to release yearly albums and milk the fans. Right now, if she hasn't found anything new to say or she just lacks the inspiration, I will respect her decision and wait for the time she decides it's right. She's been overworked af for almost 20 years doing all these tours, releases, promos etc I can perfectly understand why she would now want to slow down for a bit
And honestly, I prefer this Ayu way better to the end of 2010/2011/2012 Ayu. Yeah, we got new music, we got different tours etc but the way she handled her relationship at that time was painful to watch. I don't wanna get too much into it, but that's when I almost left the fandom for good. I feel like now she' come to terms with who she is and with what the state of her career is and honestly, i think she has handled things way more gracefully than what I had thought
One last thing, it amazes me that people complain about the songs being the same all the time when she's probably one of the singers with the most varied setlist. If she was any other artist we would be having ALL of her biggest hits in the setlist every damn time, but instead we have a lot of b-sides, not so popular songs and fan favourites in every tour (appart from the couple of hits, but tbh if I go to an Ayu concert and she doesn't do evolution or B&G I would be disappointed)
