Just curious, what are those songs?
And I have to agree with the majority of you: you can't blame anything on avex/Ayu "rushing" the work. She's always worked at about the same pace. Plus, I honestly don't think any of it is rushed, despite how quickly her stuff comes out. We all know she's a hard-worker, and I think that's the main reason she releases so quickly, not because they rush it out. (Well, they do want to get it out as fast as possible, of course...... But you know what I mean. XP) And honestly, for the average musician, even those who don't work as hard as, say, Ayu, you can get an album done in a few months or less. Most artists don't compose anything, and the people who do the composing often already have the selected songs completed a significant amount of time beforehand. And even for an artist who writes all the lyrics or helps arrange, if you work hard or are very creative, it's not too difficult to complete several songs in a day. :O
And anyhow, even if a person composed, arranged, and wrote an entire album in a week, that doesn't mean it was rushed. It could be a piece of work where the emotions just poured out and the creativity seemed endless..... Doesn't happen a lot for most artists, lol. But don't assume something is rushed or not well thought out unless it obviously reeks of such a case. ^_^' And for Ayumi, well, I'm sure most of us would agree that a large portion (or, I personally think nearly every song in her discography, actually) does not fit the low quality standards that would be needed to assume such a thing.
...Anyhow. Didn't mean to rant, lol. :X I just don't like whenever people claim Ayu's work to be rushed (or any artist's work, as long as they have no real reason to say so), and I especially don't like it when they claim that for an album that they personally just don't like. The only album I'd say you can even consider that for would be Secret, since it was originally supposed to be a mini-album.... But, to me, even though I think that's one of her weakest albums, it's still above average compared to other music you'll see, and I don't think most of it, if any, was rushed.
