Well, most of Ayu's albums are growers where about a year later you realize it's amazing when that "Oh!" moment happens. I think she loves to put out new music, and with Rock'n'Roll Circus, it really shows that she's trying to step up her game after not having all that much time to produce Secret/GUILTY/NEXT LEVEL. If she loves what she's doing, why should she slow down/take 2-3 years to make an album if all most people are going to do is go crazy?
Most people would probably want her to do an album so amazing it'd make your ears explode if it meant waiting 3 years, but I don't think the Japanese record industry is that forgiving.

I know, that Oh! moment. but sometimes you can't even appreciate an album/the oh moment never comes because she's already released something else by then.
I just want to understand why she feels the need to release so frequently. I hope it's not because she thinks that what she must do to remain relevant. I hope it's because she loves her craft.
