lol You're talking like that's some established release pattern when in reality she only has 2 albums out. Two years between the first two, three years between EH and FROOT. Hardly a typical 3-4 year wait between albums. More like a typical Western pop release pattern. The nice thing is that Western artists compensate by making albums with much longer shelf lives, so I'd absolutely take a 2-year wait for an album that'll last me a couple months over a j-pop throwaway "guess I better put some filler on here to sell this single compilation!" album that I bore of in 2 weeks tops*.

*Not that I feel that way about Kuu. Just j-pop in general.
