While it is totally ok for an album production to take as much time as it needs I am just surprised at how chronic the bad management issue seems to be in Ayu's staff.
1) 1.5 years spanning ASIA TOUR is not an Asia tour after all (with like 2 dates in 2022 initially confirmed at the time of announcement)?
2) Countdown and 24th anniversary live DVD release was delayed (although they did go through the trouble of announcing it at the end of 24th anniversary live show and even made some digest from the live itself)
a) When dvd was finally released we learned they had some budget cuts on production team, otherwise how to explain all those special effects and noise issues?
b) Or was it a major failure of a filming crew that they were trying to hide by adding all those special effects?
3) The album promised for this autumn is delayed to 2023 winter (hard to set deadlines for writing songs, who would have guessed? I was hoping they would announce it when the whole thing was already at late production stages).
4) Countdown live logo and goods design looks like the whole design team suddenly resigned and the only left intern learned they need to do something 15 minutes before the deadline.
That is only what we can see from the outside in the last 12 months. I wonder what kind of mess is happening at the bottom of that iceberg.
