She mentioned why she actually
announced a hiatus in her Tower Records interview:
Quote:
“There have been times where I didn’t release anything for about two years, but this time I wanted to tell everyone that I was taking a break before actually taking a break. If a shop doesn’t put up a sign saying ‘we will be closed to business from xx to xx’, the customers will wait in front of the shop wondering when it will open, won’t they? It’s like that.”

If she wants to take a break, she can. It's not like we (i.e. fans) own her or something. It's her life.
