This is new info: Movin'on Without You's cover is important for her because she could connect to to lyrics she didn't write, so it was when she noticed she could actually just have fun with music.

Yup, in addition to what you mentioned above, if I read correctly, in the late 90s and early 00s, everything related to her was reported and she soon realised her real self was very different from "ayumi hamasaki". She found it hard to reconcile both identities.
Her success was attributed to her lyrics, which resonated with a lot Japanese. She was not able to write lyrics like "Let's strive for happiness together" in the early years of her career.
2013 was when she felt that her schedule was repetitive annually and there was nothing new that interest her. She shifted her focus to USA as a form of relief/escape but realised this meant that she abandoned her loved ones. Recording the cover for "Movin' on without you" was interesting for her and she regained the true fun of music.
Briefly mentioned the novel about her and Max. She basically just commented that she doesn't care what people think of her.
ayu will continue live her life forward as ayumi hamasaki.
