There's also a possibility that MADE IN JAPAN TOUR will be a best songs collection tour instead to celebrate A BEST's 15th Anniversary. This would give Ayu more time to work on the new studio album. Then it would be released at some point in the autumn (would be her first since Love songs) and 2017 Tour would be the usual album tour again.
And I'd like the new album be diverse like (miss)understood is♥
