During the recording of Himawari, she was sick which is why she eventually rerecorded it. I do think the album was probably a contractual obligation (she released 2 albums in one year that year) and my personal theory is that it was due to her taking time off for her pregnancy and birth that she had to play catch up a bit with her releases.
I do wonder quite a bit if the 25 year contract thing is true. Or at least 20 year contract and then after the cancelled Okinawa live they renegotiated another 5 year contract.
