Is there any light that can be shed on what she said on the show and her previous birthday comments? I'm not sure how to interpret this...

2014: To express my love to the person I love, part 1
2015: To express my love to the person I love, part 2
>Well, I wonder if I told them or not...
>Yeah, only you'd know that.
>I guess "I've told them!" is too hard to say here. I wonder how it was.
>Does this mean we'll get a part 3 this time?
2016: To Devote
>Even though I can't say that I've 100% achieved the goals I've set last year and 2 years ago, I won't do part 3, and instead... Going on this years Japan tour and the NA tour really made me experience fulfillment. We had really, really happy times, and also some regrets. Times like "we could have done more." It really had me thinking that we could get to the places we want to go if we just put in more time. I felt all sorts of feelings during the two weeks we were on the NA tour. I really think it was a good tour. I want to continue feeling fulfilled, and this year I want to devote myself to the act of Perfume and also our work. While I'm still able, I want to work hard without having any regrets. Despite having those regrettable moments, it was still really fun. And whether we can make it even more fun will depend on how much we devote ourselves to it. And to encompass these hopes, I choose "To devote."

It's so vague, when she announced her goal is "to devote", my immediate thought is that she's had her eye on someone for 2 years and now they've established a relationship she can devote herself to, but then she goes on to literally just talk about Perfume and putting all her energy into Perfume. Like she talks about those regrets like maybe she wasted time chasing a relationship that eventually fell through...? It almost sounds like she's resigned to the fact she's destined to remain an autistic, loveless, childless, dancing puppet for a soulless corporation, and if that's the case she might as well go full steam at that and try to make the biggest success of it she can.

Am I interpreting that wrong? Maybe I'm being an autist myself and completely misreading something that is obvious... I'm making myself sad.
