i dont think its time for a full album, we all know this album is being released just because of the contract ayu have with avex to release one full album once a year... i think she needs to think about her creativity around her career

Since when was that a 'contract'? She released two albums in 2010. What exactly was that?

I really wish people would stop trying to blame Ayu/avex for certain things that are just made up in their head.

In any case, so far in 2012, we've had Party Queen/A SUMMER BEST/two minis, so I don't think there's any sort of "Oh, you need to release a full album this year" stipulation in her contract otherwise she'd have released one in 2011.

chill out... being or not a contract, and of course she has a contract, everybody does, the thing is lacking of creativity. in the past few years, most of her songs sounds the same, three or four sounds new to me. and this is my opinion, you can disagree, but dont try to change my mind.

What other styles do you want her to to? Opera? Enka? Beatbox? New Age?

To me, most of her songs these last few years sound quite new and distinct...
