Wow, I can't believe you read the entire thread! That's amazing, especially considering how huge some of the posts are.
In response, I think you're right in that Ayu has been somewhat close to a burnout in terms of lyrics/musical production, something that I really should've seen as an Ayu fan having read the 10th anniversary article in which she states that GUILTY was a "miracle" to have been produced with basically no emotion whatsoever. Although, I sort of wondered how she's been dealing with things in the last few months.. the happy times and the sad times... like, has anything inspired her since GUILTY? I wonder if the lack of tie-ups in general has allowed Ayu to sort of relax as opposed to churning out singles like in previous years [Many Panasonic tie-ins, VISEE, Morinaga.. etc.]... well, whatever she does put out, I'll be happy with. I usually am, anyway.
I wonder if Ayu herself questions the quality of her work after it comes out.. despite not listening to it much after release, sometimes even forgetting that she made stuff years after. Maybe she really wants to create something truly worthy of the 10th anniversary? Something big perhaps? Like, she doesn't want to just put out any song, and it's as you say that she may be finally satisfied with something. I just hope that this new "kakkoii / cool" song really is as she says.
