Let's hope "A COMPLETE 25" is used as a title for an all time best album.
I'm still mad we didn't get a studio album titled "Promised Land" at the time.

yeah she did. she wasn't very specific. she just mentioned that she doesn't rule out a break.

Also, with double meaning because UN is that all the songs will be collaborations with Urata Naoya.

She posts a new IG, and it has a long message.

Did she mention she wants to learn "song" all over again? She wants to discover making music again? I wish CREA could come back.

seems she taking vocal lessons again

[koumori]

From what I'm getting, the post is Ayu talking about how her issues with her hearing, and her vocal cords, caused her to almost give up on singing entirely. She felt like she needed to start planning a "final stage" at one point, as her ability to hear and sing was deteriorating rapidly. However, she began working with her current vocal trainer - Kon - a while back, and she began to learn how to sing again as if she was a beginner, reminding her of the time prior to her debut.

She credits him and his approach to vocal training with her being able to undertake the 47 Prefecture tour at all, and be able to "face my 25th anniversary with pride, instead of shame".

What I'd take from this is that her health issues began to greatly impact her, and she needed to relearn new techniques to work alongside how her body works now, instead of trying to simply force it to work how it always has. I'm so happy that she has found someone like Kon to guide her professionally I can't imagine how hard she has worked, mentally and physically, to be able to talk about this openly.

this is interesting to read, and i believe that putting out this national tour has triggered a lot of memories about her staging as a singer for 25 years, with a vast discography, and fans supporting her work throughout Japan and overseas.

i can image how this affected her in both positive and negative ways, like it may have canalized inspiration and insights on music creation

No Music. No Ayu.

and that jacket <3

[BabyJane]

The latest post of ayu kinda gives me the vibe that she already decided that it will only be a "short" break and she will return. I believe, if she really wanted to retire now with this announcement, she would have told TA and wouldn't have given such a "it may be a short break or maybe I will never come back" message.

I mean, she deserves everything and has worked so hard, the break is necessary for her and her family, but still I don't see her giving up what she has created in 25 years. That's just not her.

[BlackSilence]

Yeah, you can take Ayu out of music, but you cannot take the music out of Ayu. I think most people have something they cannot imagine themselves without because it's a part of them, and that is especially true with artistic humans.

[Aderianu]

Ayu said she's working on new song

[visionfactory]

Am I the only one getting vibes of Ayu producing an idol group to compete with kpop? That her hiatus is a hiatus about her singing career but she will still be in charge of creative directions of groups like BoA did for a while

Honestly I don’t think this hiatus is happening anymore. She’s changed, it seems.

[YakuSoku]

She just wrote today on instagram that tomorrow a recording week begins with 3 songs which has been proposed to her and since during CDL there was no mentioning of a hiatus nor any sentimental touch, I highly doubt there'll be a hiatus

[Cahz-]

So, back in November she was working on 3 songs:

And now 3 more songs.

[CeReSu]

Plus Ayu shared a post on instagram and she wrote ‘ I just can’t picture the life without music ‘ so I don't think Ayu will take a hiatus
