And for that, to have LESS than usual in comparison to her past years where there are mag covers and singles coming out every month or however often, it does feel empty.

That's exactly how I feel. It's great for her and all her fans that can see her on tour, but she is not touring in my country and therefore it's just the same as always to me. I could buy a DVD of this tour, but I still won't be able to see her. I'd much rather she worked on new material than toured.
Ultimately, I do think it has been a pretty disappointing year for her. We've only had one single (MW was just a longer Mirror and Life sucked), and that's about it. The remix albums were cool, but then again, Ayu didn't' have to do anything for those beyond the cover image since the songs were already made. She certainly didn't remix them. I also consider GUILTY to be a 2007 release since it was basically the culmination of that year's singles (just as I'll consider her next album to be from 2008 if it's released at the beginning of this coming January). I mean, it isn't an atrocious year for her, but in terms of new material, it's pretty damn poor.
