However, when you’re trying to force things it’s much harder, things aren’t coming, it’s not feeling right and you’re just dissatisfied with how it’s going, you’re sad and disappointed in yourself which on one hand makes you work harder but also increases stress and feeling of dissatisfaction with your work if it doesn’t feel right right away. Of course, I can’t speak for Ayu only for myself, but I certainly can see her feeling this way if she wasn’t connecting to her flow of creativity the way she used to.

And it was probably even harder for her who actually could produce way more than the average artist in a very short time spam.

Yep. She was (and still is I think) a force to be reckoned with, even when she’s not at 100%. I’m always so inspired and amazed by how much output she had in her first few years, and she slowed down to “only” one album and 3 tours a year (Arena, A nation, CDL, sometimes more) plus tv appearances.
