I still think she was talking about Yoyogi/anniversary lives/CDL and everyone thought it was a career hiatus lol

Ayu addressed this in a TA App blog post earlier this month. Cross-posting here from the AHS Discord:

25th→26th
間違いなくこれまでで一番TAと共に日本中を駆け巡 り、あっという間に過ぎていった、大切な瞬間だらけ の一年でした。

TAには前に少し話したけれど、この1年間精一杯に心 を込めて恩返しし終わったら、しばらくお休みをする 時間をもらおうと。

思っていたのですが、精一杯頑張ったら、それ以上の 精一杯がTAはじめ様々なジャンルの皆様からすでに返 ってきてしまったので笑、26年目も予定大変更して走 り続ける事になりそうです。

いがいとまた、すぐに会いに行きます!!!!!!し ばらくいーやとか言わないでね?笑笑

Love TA

25th→26th
This was definitely the most exciting year I have ever had with TA, full of precious moments that flew by in the blink of an eye while travelling all over Japan.

As I mentioned to TA a little while ago, I originally wanted to take some time away after I gave both heart and soul to my work over the last year.

I really thought at that time that I'd given my all, but now I feel like I can still go even further after receiving an incredible level of encouragement from TAs and everyone else. For that reason, there has been a major change in plans. I'll be running just as hard through my 26th year.

I'll be seeing you all again soon!!!! So no one go and say they're tired of me now, okay? (laugh)

Love TA

Nothing stops a workaholic

[brener]

i wonder if she'll try something new or will stick with the same ol' same ol' for her next works - tho i should already take the answer as a strong no

[KLJames]

i personally prefer she stop awhile.
go take care her children, dogs and husband (if got).
go see the world, go see her idol's concert,
go find and know new musicians,
and come back with fresh ideas for her new shows or songs.

^ i feel you, i'm afraid we'll be getting the same old stuff again and again just like BYE-BYE which turned out to be my least favorite song of hers in decades - and to tell you the truth i think the lack of originality was the reason that made me keep some distance from her work after 2013 until 2020 when I decided to listen to TROUBLE
