Do you think Ayu will retire next year?

Like everyone said, I don't think Ayu will retire that soon.
But I have to agree, I don't think the japanese public nor avex will
be friendly towards her as much as they used to. I mean, unlike the
U.S, it seems that the japanese public fancies new faces(out with the
old and in w/ the new). If she really wants to keep going, I think she'll
have to tone things down a bit(image wise) and sing songs that are more..appropriate
for her age.

I mean if you look at Namie(who has passed her 20's),
she toned down/matured alot compared to the old days.
