Should Ayumi take a hiatus?

[koumori]

There's been a lot of discussion in the last few months about Ayumi's career; as there always has been of course, but this time it's been spurred on by her lowering sales and arguments that the mini albums should of been singles, etc etc...

So, AHS - do you feel that Ayu should take a hiatus, for the first time in fifteen years? It's a possibility that I've seen thrown about AHS ever since I joined as a member, and I'm wondering how many people now feel like it's a valid choice for her to make as she celebrates her fifteenth anniversary. Working pretty much without a break for that length of time can tire anyone out, and for me personally, I can see her becoming less involved in the creative side of her work and that's where the sparkle is lost for me. I'd love if she felt it was time to take a bit of time away from making music and kind of recharge the batteries a bit. I could be totally wrong, but it's just the feeling I get as a fan.

Obviously I know people will feel differently, and so I'll ask that if you disagree, please keep it polite! This is meant to spark discussion and I think we all know people have very different opinions here, so. Let's embrace that we're different and hippy hug trees

tl;dr: Do you feel Ayu needs a break, or is she still at her peak for you personally, in terms of creating music?
