It's also I think referring to the years of 2000-2001 where she really was a "singing machine" putting out singles at an alarming rate (due to the pressure of Avex to keep their profits on the rise) and at one point appeared on over 40 magazine covers in, I believe, only 1 month! Also this was the time when the A Best album was released without her full support. She was quoted at that time as saying that that was when she realized that "Hamasaki Ayumi" was no longer a person, but a product. I think that time period of her life is what the singing machine scene refers to, as well as the article headline "almost human."
