Yeah I must agree with this. I'm sick of seeing her dancers stuffed in our faces because she's such good friends with them, her terrible backup vocalists she will never get rid of and now it's annoying to see her working with directors just because they're her friends. It's arrived to the point where it's annoying because it's more like "Ayumi Hamasaki & friends" lately and unfortunately they are not as talented as they like to think they are...
I think that the fact she has so much control over her career is also turning against her. She's getting surrounded with a bunch of friends who seem to be more interested in hogging all the attention for themselves to get to the top.
