I think ayu should probly try releasing an album with no intro + interludes next time.. I would be curious to see what the reactions will be (let's say... 11 tracks, with 5 single songs + 6 new songs).

^Sometimes I dun even know if ayu was rushing the album out. Back then she could release LOVEppears in Nov 1999, then Duty on Sep 2000. And she could release I am in Jan 2001, and RAINBOW in Dec of the same year. And back then she got more to do... more magazine shots, more tours (remember AT tour and stadium tour?), more singles, more live appearances, etc. So basically it may imply that she rushed out Duty and RAINBOW as well. Who knows if she wrote the stuff in the very last mins as well (since she didn't write that much on the net back then)?

So I can't really judge the album quality by how much time she has spent on, and we dun really know if she just wrote the lyrics in the last few mins, or she just decided to make a big modification on the lyrics during rush times... There're too many possibilities to guess.
