She might release one a month or two before the album. No singles at all would be new territory for her, I'd love to hear an album with entirely new material.

She'll be able to come up with the concept/direction for the album right from the beginning, instead of after the singles have been released. A lot of Ayu albums suffer from the singles seeming out of place with the album's overall sound. No fault of her own.. it would be hard to come up with an album concept when the first single might come out a year before the album's eventual release. Love songs (for me) was the first Ayu album that felt like a cohesive set of work.

Although if there's no singles, I think it will be on the shorter side. NEXT LEVEL length.

Happy with the producers she is working with as well although it will probably sound nothing like Love songs. It won't have that "nostalgia" feeling to it. Timmy's BRILLIANTE composition was very interesting and felt fresh for Ayu, but it will be interesting to see if he's more than a one-hit wonder. CMJK will probably create the more electronic/dance songs, should make for a good mix of different styles.
