From all we know a song likeTABOO by HIRO, a Japanese composer, could be a rejected demo as well.
The music market works like that. Often the songs aren't written specifically for someone, composers produce songs and selling them. So they are basically all demos rejected by someone, aren't they?
Back with TOUCH DOWN Kuu even flew over to Toby Gadd to discuss it with him. So she clearly has the connections. But e.g. TOUCH DOWN has a demo with a well known western artists singing it nevertheless. So Idk what this should mean in the end.

I don't really know why TABOO is regarded here as a top quality song from her but anyway.
I say that because lots of songs from both W face albums sound very unfinished and unpolished, something that gives me the feeling they are demos. I say rejected because they are not very interesting, melody/instrumental-wise, and you can hear "better versions" of these songs (this style, I mean) on western artists, with better production.
I don't mind minimalistic music, I like it, but I don't think they sound simple because they had that purpose in mind.
For example, MORE is not very elaborate but it sounds amazing because the arrangement was really well done even if there weren't many instruments in the track.
All that can be subjetive, but I can't picture Britney Spears or Rihanna choosing any of these tracks to their albums, not before a full update. Just like Sora-kara said, I believe the majority of the songs in these albums needed someone who could "truly commit and own them, making them better than they would have been under those who rejected them", I'm quoting.
What I see is that she got these songs like they are, changed some lyrics, recorded the vocals and released, without even rearranging ou making them better
And, imo, TOUCH DOWN is really bad. Kumi and JoJo shouldn't have recorded that.
