A very quick translation of Ayu's recent IG post from remove-mom at the AHS Discord:

Between Natsu no Trouble on Abema, two PVs, FNS and a-nation, this summer has been more wonderful than I could've imagined. I'm nothing but thankful for having had the chance to entertain you all this much.

Looking back on various things, I've come to realize that there's something that both my fans as well as people in a range of different areas have said.

Those words:

"Since Ayu teamed up with Gori, her worldview has come to be communicated more profoundly."

I agree 100000000% with that. That's truly how I feel.
I have a bad habit of overdoing it and trying to take control of everything myself for the sake of perfectionism, but of course nothing will turn out perfectly if you try to do it all by yourself, and I've found getting that balance right particularly difficult since becoming a mother.

Gori is a natural artist more so than he is just someone who does his job, and he makes it possible to feel even from the spectators' seats all of the different nuances that I put into the performances that I can't achieve without having my own out of body experience.
In such a short time there have been so many things that we've only been able to do because we're working together that I don't think we would've had the courage to attempt if we'd been by ourselves. Ever since Promised Land we've proceeded together without drifting even 1mm apart, and not once in that time have I doubted that I would be able to keep moving forward in this way.

That's something that has been made apparent to me thanks to everybody. That, and that it isn't uncool or scary at all to rely on others!

Thank you for bearing with my long recollections!
Being tough on myself and kind to others, I'll be sustaining myself on the thought of being able to meet with you all again in the future!
