HOTEL Love Songs and for her and Mannie to be able to spend more time together. To schedule things as she wants. I think the earthquake really changed the plan this year. I think FIVE is being released to allow Ayu to do HOTEL Love Songs (as I get the impression that she does want to perform it) next year before releasing another album at the end of 2012 after 2/3 singles in the second half of 2012.

I think FIVE is meant to tide us over from the lack of full album and singles this year because Power of Music has caused lots of changes I imagine and to allow HOTEL Love Songs to be performed without having to promote a new full album (to put in a couple of songs from FIVE shouldn't be as difficult. Probably only 3 songs as the collabs aren't likely to be sung. So kind of like RnRC ~ 7 Days Special. It would be hard to do HOTEL Love Songs and try and combine a new full album into it) I hope it is like this and that she doesn't push another album out by the beginning of next year.
