I agree. I don't expect new material just because it's her anniversary. Actually, wouldn't a normal person expect the complete opposite? When I think anniversary, I think a bunch of compilations/collections and maybe an anniversary tour. I guess it's supposed to be a time of celebrating and looking back on an artist's career, not a time of moving forward at full speed. Maybe this is how Ayu is interpreting her "anniversary"...
But I do, however, expect new material because she's Ayumi Hamasaki, and I'm used to having it.
It is cool that she posts on TA a lot now, while keeping out of the public eye for a while. It all makes her less of a pompous/untouchable figure, and I like that. I think we're all starting to see the human qualities of Ayumi Hamasaki, and some aspects of it are turning off some fans to her. Since there's no new releases, we're starting to see her inspiration 'drying up'. She's now an ex-girlfriend to somebody, a 'handicapped' person, somebody who lost a friend to suicide, 'overweight', etc... I think we should all just chill and not expect so much, it'll make new material come much faster.
