Better to have a single with a song that I like than having an album full of songs that I'll hate.

It makes sense to me. That's just my opinion.
I agree with this to some extent. I usually base whether or not I'll buy an album on how much I liked the singles. But this album has been timed in a way that including already pre-released tracks is just going to feel like a rip off. There are few artists I'll pre-order an album by without waiting to see what the content is like first, but Ayu is an artist who consistently impresses me and she hasn't failed once in doing so since before RnRC. I imagine it's only because she has such a loyal following that they can even consider releasing an album without singles.
