Do you think Ayu must take a long rest ?

[truehappiness]

I feel as though 2006 [post AT06] is when her ear probably started zonking out on her.. oi.

[RyRyMini]

This is avex we're talking about. I don't see a rest in the future.

But she probably should take one - or at least slow down a bit.

[ALfromHELLSING]

^She's already releasing only two singles per year and one album. One single per year and 1 album per two years would be just too cruel to us - fans.
Also I'm not gonna argue 'bout quality of NL & G, 'cause I LOVE both and NL even a little bit more and both are HQ by both lyrics & music. I can complain only 'bout one thing. Both albums doesn't sound like ALBUMS but more like albums. Too little new tracks and too many interludes. She just need to stop using this stupid scheme. This is really annoying. ONLY 6 new songs first on GUILTY then on NEXT LEVEL. I love you to death Ayu, but excuse me... WTF!? I dunno it might be avex, who knows... Yeah, interludes are cool but interlude is interlude, NOT A SONG. Mirror is an AWESOME INTRO, but not a song. Thnx GOD they did Mirrorcle World and it's become ****ing masterpiece.
If she'll release her NEXT album in the same way I dunno what to think... That would be just AWFUL...

That's what I think as well. In her post about it after the cdl she said she began noticing changes in her ear a year before which would put it at the time of the Jewel performances.

If she wants..whatever makes her happy~

[vampireknightzero]

I think she should take a rest, probably get everything sort out first. She might be able to get new inspirations for her music and so on. Then probably return at full blast (may sound exaggerated), with better and new materials for her fans and music! I mean Ayu fans may find Ayu more refreshing if we really didn't see her for some time.

[murasakinohana]

of course! ^^

[SolarAngel]

I think ayu wouldn't know what to do with herself if she takes a 'rest'. She may slow down the rate she and her team are producing songs and sleep more but complete abstinence from work is highly unlikely.

[jbrat2219]

I think if Ayu went on an extended break she'd become mentally insane. But with the interest of her creativity and music in mind, I think she should at take a break and travel maybe pick up some new ideas. *cough cough* India...

[AyUta]

As much as I'd miss her music, I would love that Ayu take a long break. She really needs it, she works hard . When she comes back...I hope she amazes us with an amazing album.

[JackieRos]

this is if you think ayu should take a long rest not
do you like ayus latest albums

she does need rest

[pommy48]

i think she should...she's been working so hard every year~ a nice little break will probably open her mind up more~ and maybe even better lyrics, vocals, and performance~

[waterballoon]

It might help.

Mirrorcle World --- Days/GREEN was a good 8 months, and I think that single was pretty stellar.

But knowing Ayu... a big break between releases just means whoring out the tours anyways~ Lol.

[daybreak123]

I think she should take a long rest, but I don't think she can, she loves working so much. But I think it isn't good for her health if she's doing do much work that she can't even sleep. I would miss her music, but I would be okay with it because it would be good for her.

[Tom Punks]

Sort of.

On one hand, I wish she would take a rest because of her voice... It sounds REALLY REALLY bad recently, like so bad I can hardly even stand listening to her live. Maybe if she took a rest, it would give her voice some time to... get better.

On the other hand, I think the reason her past few albums have not been so good is because she doesn't really put as much attention/thought/care/something into what music she puts out anymore, so...

[waterballoon]

^ Heh, more like she just pushes everything to her staff... cos she "trusts" them so much. If her staff were as good as churning out melodies as Kuu's stuff, no problem man. But NO, her staff are... and the worst department is the photography and PV department. Cos Mr. Kazuyoshi Shimomura looks like he's gonna be stay for a long long long time.

[Yoake]

I think she need a rest. Not for her music because is HQ but for her health. She don't care about herself it's why she felt in December.

[ayuayu798]

It's just a matter of opinion whether or not ayu needs a break... whatever ayu feel is best for herself it totally fine with me . I agree with both sides.

Exactly.

Ayu needs to take a little bit of time off and rediscover her roots and discover what direction she wants to take her music in.

Then she should come back and make a totally awesome album in the way she wants to have it done. Maybe she'll bring back older people for it, at least hopefully for the PVs.

She should also probably get out more and meet more people...but...that's just...extra lol
