But again, I'm not taking it too seriously

I think she meant that she writes lyrics? Though she might be writing music, too. I think sometime around Rule/Sparkle release she said that she wrote some music but in the end it was never released because avex didn't think it was good enough?
Just watched it again (so weird: usually I am the one with network problems). Yes, in the end she said something like "I'm so proud of being one of your likes", but maybe she switched to her fans for a while and then returned to Asian women? No, ok, more likely I'm just seeing it as I like the most, ahah. I was kind of confused by her "you guys", because I never heard or read it referred to a group of females only, but English is spoken very poorly in my country, so you sure know better

About writing music now I'm 99% sure: she said "I write music OR lyrics", so she should refer to composing. Unluckily, I never read the thing you're talking about, but when she made the shoot for BAZAAR's 25th Anniversary I think she said something like composing is her favourite part of making a song but she doesn't do it anymore because it makes her feel bad for some reason I don't remember (sorry: I read the interview only once and I was in a really bad mood). Maybe it's related to what you said... she didn't take it too good when she was fired by COLUMBIA Nippon (if I remember the name correctly), and it would be a pretty similar situation, though many years have passed and Ayu went through changes.

I didn't mean writing music at a professional level, anyway. I'd love a comeback from my favourite composer, but as an hard-dying pessimist I prefer not to think about such a thing at all. I feel pretty intrusive saying it since it's her private life, but I had that sweet feeling because I find it lovely that she still amuses herself with songwriting.

Sorry for being so long .///.'
