And she did say that only recording needed to be done (then mixing which would be the final step). Once you know the lyrics & melody, and a basic arrangement, the rest isn't too hard. GOOD songs can even be made up as you go along (I could name a few popular ones where this was the case), then instruments layered on top afterwards. Mixing on a song might only take a few hours.
As for Petit's comment, DAI most likely wouldn't follow, but i'm sure ayu could "buy" collaborators like Tetsuya Yukumi (who ayu discovered anyway) and CMJK from Avex if she left the label or they dropped her for whatever reason. If Tomoya Nagase decided to go solo, she'd probably bring him along too, as well as perhaps other long-time musical collaborators; her band (Yo-chan, ENRIQUE, etc) would almost certainly follow, MAYBE kazuhito kikuchi as well, and ayu could give the BREATH duo another shot since they got dropped.
And at the risk of going off-topic, I have to comment... Please, no more talk of ayu ever retiring. It's so pessimistic, depressing, and horribly unlikely. At this point, i doubt it'll happen. Ever. Seriously. All the jpop legends of the past are still going (not strong, to be honest their few-and-far-between releases go under the radar except to big fans, but I'd be fine with that as long as ayu was still releasing, which I'm certain she will). And if she & nagase get married & have kids, guess what? She can still work. Last I checked Aikawa Nanase & Namie Amuro were still singers, but correct me if i'm wrong on that one *rolls*
