Some producers are so much of a perfectionist they have singers record songs line for line, word for word or even syllable for syllable, so that takes even longer.
The same thing applies to instruments that are important in songs, the lines are often played many times until they are perfect.
While live vocals don't have to be perfect, the song is sung once, there's imperfections there, it's not the same kind of vocal quality you would get from a studio recording crafted to perfection.

im not sure about your first comment, but i wouldnt think all producers are that meticulous when creating a song. Anyway, as far as i know, Ayumi makes several versions of a single song and she decides which one is her favourite in the end. Also, i read recently Amy Winehouse made her new song "between the cheats" in two hours or three, so it wasnt neccesary so much detail imho
And about the other thing, i disagree with you, a cd version is not always better than a live one, in that case, that might apply perfectly for singers who cant sing *coughcoughbritneycoughcoughmadonna*
but a live version can be even better than a recorded one if the artist/band actually knows how to perform live.
I really would like to have a whole new cd;if its possible im pretty sure its going to be a wonderful surprise whatever we get, a completely cohesive album would be great

edit: Ayumi is photoshopped again on the upper pics lol
