First press bonus songs are not uncommon at all in J-Pop, especially for CD only releases. (For the most part, new artists, and artists who are not selling well usually utilize this tactic because it forces the consumers to buy both the CD+DVD -and- the CD only if they want all of the album material...)

However, as Ayu has never done it before, I don't think she would do it, especially on an album. (People getting the CD+DVD would have to get the CD only for it) For the most part, she keeps the track switching to CD+DVD/CD only copies of singles, and even then, she tends to have all of the tracks available on the other editions (see Rule) on the CD only...
