I think that it's one of those things that's really a technicality. Ayu's camp doesn't really recognize digital singles as 'actual singles' which is why they don't have a designation along with her usual singles. As far as I know, we got the information about the how beautiful you are digital single release -at the same time- as the information about the new album. Looking back, it was the same case for Together When... but for some reason, information for the album was delayed due to being placed on TeamAyu and then removed as soon as it was up.

IMO, if you look back a few years and you have to wonder if something was a single or not, it wasn't really a single to begin with. I'm sure there are people who still don't know that how beautiful you are is a single and just assume that it was released early. There's also other songs we've gotten rather early from various sources (Love song, progress, Microphone, etc.) at about the same time as these digital singles, they just weren't publicly released.
