imo, Sunrise as a single felt pretty rushed... sort of like a "omg we need to push out a summer single this year!" kind of feeling. and NEXT LEVEL as well, the "omg we need to push out a new album before the fiscal year ends!"
IMO, they did what she wanted to do for Sunrise, and in the end, they produced a really great single in the process. Same goes with NEXT LEVEL. I didn't get any sort of "This was so rushed!" quality from these releases or any other releases. Somehow, it's just an excuse for when people don't seem to like an album imo. "This sounds so rushed!" --comments about GUILTY, Secret, NEXT LEVEL, basically everything released from 2006 onwards that people didn't like...

It's funny because Ayu basically always works until the very last minute as she's stated many times haha.

Translation from Misa-chan's Ready Go! translation:

"So is there a switch that can turn on the "Let's write!" mode for you?"
When I have no more time, basically. Even if I finish something, my feelings about it can change again. Things written in haste at the last minute tend to be more straightforward and honest, so I drag it out as much as possible, and when there's no more time, I panic and write.
Makes perfect sense to me.
