If you flip that argument over and look at it from a different perspective, she puts out amazing work without spending all of the time that Utada Hikaru or Namie Amuro spend, haha. So... -shrug-

Comparison of the three:
Namie Amuro - 9 studio albums, 4 compilation albums, 36 singles (1995 - 2010) - 32,550,237
Utada - 8 studio albums, 1 compilation album, 27 singles (1998 - 2010) - 37,772,698 (Japan only)
Ayumi Hamasaki - 11 studio albums, 4 compilation albums, 1 EP, 47 singles (1998 - 2010) - 50,453,743

I would argue that Utada Hikaru's works have a lot of time spent on them, but they really aren't all that great. There are some nice songs here and there, but blah at stuff like "Poppin'" and such. This is compared to Ayu who has for the most part, music where I personally love almost every track and she releases quite frequently.

But eh, haha.
