I feel like Ayumi needs a break - all that working can't be too good for her. I know Avex wants her to release regularly because she's a big money-maker, but I think in this case, if Ayumi were to pull an Utada and spend some time working on quality-over-quantity music, her sales might be greater. I agree that the market is just about saturated with Ayumi; if she had a vacation, she could rest her mind, be even more focused on her work, and produce something totally astounding that reminds everyone who's queen in the industry.
