^thats basically what I said. I know that these songs where released as singles, but these songs are decided as such AFTER the album came out.

Releasing a single after the album is a whole different story, since it is already a part of the album. But the way Japan handles it just doesn't work for me anymore. I don't mind diverse styles and I love that about Kumi, but I hate out of place songs - and its mostly the singles that stand out like a sore thumb. Although always top-notched songs one came to love already, they destroy the overall "theme" of the album in many cases.
