If I remember correctly, she usually works 1-2 months for an album. For example Duty was finished really really fast during the second half of summer 2000. Or Love Songs, which was produced after Arena Tour 2010 Final Leg ended.
But we also have to take into consideration that she doesn't releases as many singles prior the album as before, so she has to work for a full record.

When she announces she's working on a new album it doesn't mean she started the day she said it publicly.

She kinda spent a whole year on MY STORY but other than that, never this long IIRC.

Actually, I recall her basically starting work on certain albums like Rock'n'Roll Circus and finishing them within like 2-3 months or even less. I remember some really breakneck writing sessions after the lead songs were done. GUILTY was also similar, iirc, recorded in Hawaii and Los Angeles during some downtime after touring or in NEXT LEVEL's case after CDL, and so on.

at the TA diary from the early december she wrote that just back to Japan with 12 songs and 3 PVs

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

...why would it be a mini? it's definitely a full album.

[Yuniz_hime]

Maybe track #5 is interlude like Marionette -prelude- in Guilty. Since she mentioned about four seasons, so maybe after four songs, there will be interlude. Who knows.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

And who knows, maybe she recorded this album on the moon. hmmmm.

[oaristos]

Yeah, I don't think it's a mini either.

[kotora]

She doesn't have to post all songs in the album before the official announcement or before the tour...

[Next_Level29]

i think all the speculations for an interlude doesnt make any sense t me :O why would she expect us to do such a detective thought for an interlude. maybe she just doesnt want us to know all the information. ayu is unpredictable ... ( summer diary - winter diary ... )

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I would actually like interludes in which she slowly speaks. About emotions, a story fitting the chapter. Like the outro of Sayonara, but then in Japanese.

Like Lana del Rey's "Burnt Norton" interlude from Honeymoon album or the outro of "National Anthem" and the intro of "Ride". Seriously, I think it would totally do justice to Ayu's writing talent.

[Chibi-Chan]

^don't know Lana del Rey's song, but in the 90's the character singles for Sailor Moon all head besides the main song and the instrumental also a "poem" attached to them which was the song with a music box arrangement and the Senshi speaking.
I especially liked this one of Sailor Mars and ironically it's also about seasons (more or less): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E2ajT4otJVA
I think something like this with Ayu would be great.

Btw is Winter diary going to be included in the new album?

I wouldn't be surprised if new album's release date wouldn't be that close as we think. It's possible that upcomming release will be a mini-album... than another mini-album... and than finally full album made out of it (like "LOVE again").

"Winter diary" was already a part of classical album and it seems to don't fit to concept of new album, so I doubt they'll included it there (but it will surely be part of another "A BEST").

[mizuki-7]

It definitely fits the theme of winter season though ! I hope she won't included it ... not that I don't like it but it has to stay where it is ! I only want new materials

That's such a great idea! She's a great writer so snippets of her voice reading short texts would be really cool.

[yamadashun]

Looking forward to the lyrics snippet now... Hope it's not another line from the songs she has revealed so far.

[truehappiness]

Ideally... soon!
