that actually ADDS to the "ayu is so lazy" answer...

Being lazy and not having enough time to complete full tracks are completely different things imo.
If she had the time, I think she would've done more full tracks, but it's rather obvious that after (miss)understood, all the albums have been made in a really quick manner [not a lazy one.]
Say someone gave you 12 hours or less to create an piece of art [music, a dress, something creative.] and you wanted to do something big. You would not be able to execute it perfectly compared to if you had 24 hours or more... if you get what I'm saying, you should understand that laziness is not the same thing as trying to get something done quickly when you have time constraints. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but basically, Ayu could've done more, but there's a pretty strict schedule. See reality shows that involve creative spirits like Top Chef / Project Runway for things like this, except apply that concept to an album and increase the amount of time.
I would say that Rock'n'Roll Circus is the first time in a while where she hasn't really abided by a super strict deadline and is instead finishing things as she pleases. It's a good thing though. (Spending 3+ months instead of 2 or waaaaay less.)
I'm sorry that you think Ayu is being lazy by constantly working for the past 3 months, but I feel that she is working her BUTT off and even though the previous albums had 4 interludes, she was STILL working her tail off given the amount of time she had to complete the albums. Secret had only 3 or so weeks to complete another half of the album, GUILTY was done after some sort of "writer's block" or something with Ayu finished 5 songs' lyrics in one day, and NEXT LEVEL was done in a pretty quick manner between Days/GREEN -> mid-February for about 2 months.
It really pains me to see when people say Ayu is being lazy when she's practically working nearly ALL YEAR. -crazyface-
