Lol. I didn't read through the entire thread, but I think I must be the only one who doesn't really mind that much. Her 10th anniversary is this year, yeah, and..? Why does that mean she has to overwork her already-extremely-overworked-self x's 10? Her close friend has died sort of recently, her 7(I think?) year relationship has died sort of recently, her left ear has died sort of recently - all of this yet when it all happened she still basically told us she was going to keep going until all her hearing is out, in the end. Also, not to mention I get the feeling sometimes that AVEX are a bunch of asses to her. OH,
andddd you have to keep in mind that she's slightly losing popularity to the younger, newer, hipper gals out in Japan now.
(just slightly and slowly).She may not show it, but that's got to hurt a little bit, especially when combined with all the other things I mentioned above. She puts out so much effort into every single thing she does, especially touring/performing. So, I don't know. I don't really mind that she's kind of just being cute and giggly (while still working hard and steady) in all her little blog messages, instead of pouring 1,000,000,000,000 gallons of sweat into a "10th anniversary" year, which is technically just another year. But, that's just my take on it.
I say, go home, take your shoes off and relax, Ayu.
And if I see you on another hilarious episode of Hey!Hey!Hey!, then I'll see you.
(here's hoping!)
edit: Okay, I took the time to read through some of this now-gigantic thread. Yikes. I'd like not to be a part of this eXXXtreme talk, yeah, so, try not to reply to me, please. haha

I'd say that she just lacks the side of her promotion that usually ends up reaching us [the TV talks, magazine scans, etc..] this year, and thus we feel like "Where did you go, Ayu?"... Like.. the magazines this year were really good [Cawaii, and ViVi..] but I feel that the 10th anniversary deserved a little bit more of a bang instead of like 3 magazines celebrating "WE <3 AYU 10th!" or something. Like, there was a huge celebration in ORICON STYLE during post-BLUE BIRD because of her 20 million+ singles and she was gorgeous.. I guess I just expected something like that.

While about 90% of your posts in this thread I don't exactly agree on, I do have to say I agree with most of that quote. I've been kind of wondering where Ayu's been, TV-wise.
