Thanks for pointing out that! I dun really think she needs to take a break in order to create new stuff. Her schedule back in 2001 - 2003 were MUCH busier than now!
2001 - 6 singles + ayu-mi-x III (resang AO part) + A BEST promotion + Dome Tour + preparing for I am...
2002 - Promoting I am... + Arena Tour + Stadium Tour + 3 singles (well she didn't promote much for Daybreak) + RAINBOW
2003 - A BALLADS + Arena Tour + A Museum + 3 singles + Memorial address..
Let's say this year.. She did release Rule/Sparkle and NEXT LEVEL, but she only appeared on TV once (Music station). Then she had AT as usual, then S/S single, then You were.../BALLAD in the end.
My point is... as she was that busy back in the old days, I didn't see her recycling her stuff at all. I know sometimes bringing back similar outfit/stage is kinda nostalgic (that's why I loved Best of CDL). However, repeating the nostalgic feeling again and again isn't a good sign. I'm not saying she should squeeze her brain to give us something so innovative... BUT... can she at least recycling something else (let's say A MUSEUM style) than MY STORY tour style? She has been using the similar stage/effect/outfit from that style for too long. It's just like how we complained she had been in glamorous diva style for too long during Secret --> A COMPLETE eras.
