Two years since Ayu's last single

Well, she is still releasing music. Counts for me.

Do you think Ayu should continue to ignore the single market and just focus on continuing to exhaust her voice touring with the occasional album release?

Why do you let this sound so ignorant? My curiousity kills me.

as long as she continues to release music on a regular basis , I don't see why's there any cause for alarm

For me since I don't buy her singles & I only buy her albums , this doesn't really affect me so much

Same. I would like for her to release singles again, but it's not a big deal for me as long as she is still releasing albums.

And then there's two baffling show numbers, a interlude and then ends on a Disney ballad. The album feels like it's made up of songs from not just four different albums but four different artists.

While I wouldn't say Party Queen was poorly received, I do agree that it is kinda a mess. Secret and Guilty were great albums, and I felt that had a great flow. Party Queen was everywhere, especially the show tunes. Lyrically, I don't think it flowed as well either, not like NEXT LEVEL, which flowed really well lyrically even if the instrumentals was a bit messy.

She can make albums around the singles, and "lately" it seems the singles are released with a similar theme. (Love Songs, anyone?)

But answering the main question of this thread, no, I don't really think Ayu should release more singles if she doesn't want to. Her tours are what bring in the big money, and you can really feel that she loves singing live. Also, it's a really good way to promote her yearly albums.
