Oh it definitely was rushed in that sense. But I mean, that probably has more to do with Ayu having to satisfy a contractual obligation to put out an album before a certain period of time, plus new material in order to support a nationwide tour. Not really sure if Ayu has the freedom to work at her own pace, especially when she's one of Avex's top earners.
