What Ayu can do best for her voice is to keep practicing good vocal habits, lower the key on some of her tracks that are outside her natural range, and rest her vocal chords properly. At least, that's from my uneducated point of view
As I said before, I'm happy she's surrounding herself with people she trusts now and doesn't feel it's all down to her. I just don't think her workload is what directly impacted her vocals at all.

@Andrenekoi: Yeah, she really has innovated a lot of different ways to evaluate performances.
I agree with what you said but I still think that production is something demanding and tiring and can have an indirect impact on her whole condition.
