idk the Japanese market overall doesn't seem to be into releasing discarded songs or demos like we see with artists from the US and Europe. I think it's like what was said in an ayu's thread once, probably they release most of what they got to the final stage so the leftovers are too raw to release. ayu herself has done tons of stuff throughout her career and iirc she only released video footage like that in A COMPLETE, so I don't expect it from Kuu either.

And geez twitter is on a whole drama with the album cover. It was so... expected (?) to me, no surprises at all. But some people seem to be hating her too much for this release, when if you don't want it you can just simply not buy it lol
At the same time tho I do wish she announced it all at once, I guess people get their hopes up that the next thing will be superb just to be disappointed by their own expectations when the cover is a promo pic we've seen before, and I feel it'll happen again when the tracklist is announced at it includes Ai no uta and Moon Crying, or when she reveals the goodies and the promo pic is used again in something new lol If it all was announced at once I think it would be received with a bit less of drama.
Plus, I don't think western fans overall seem to realise they're not the main focus of Jpop artists. Kuu's social media isn't even published in English, let alone her do a compilation of songs we want but the Japanese fans are not into.
