So I think with Ami, yes she usually does this kind of thing before an album, for promotion. =]

But it wouldn't be strange if she didn't do it. Connetta and ATW had physical singles released, but having a PV for a promo-only track has only ever been done one with Ami ("Bitter"), which is why I was confused why someone was seriously disappointed that there wouldn't be one.

I would think for a lot of album songs they may be reworked a little before album, but for ami who doesen't really do anything except for singing which doesen't need to take so long, I'm sure she could finish recording of several songs a long time ago even if nakata himself haden't finished them. It's the same case as with ayu's "it was" that was intitally finished for (miss) understood but was in the back of a drawer untill secret.

This is incorrect. Do you guys not remember the interview posted a while ago (maybe in the Yasutaka Nakata thread) about them working on tracks from before DOLCE was even put out until a few months ago? And I have NEVER heard of an artist completely finish an album 5 or 6 months before its release unless there are label problems. Most of the time they are working on songs up until the very end.
"Ami's album tracks aren't going to be as good as ONE or CSTD because all artists finish an album and then pick the best songs to be the singles" is just a totally incorrect idea.
