I have to agree with this. Her albums suffered from early-released singles that did not fit the eventual concepts of her albums. Party Queen and Love songs have been her two most cohesive efforts to date. Even though Love songs had singles, they were written in quick succession and released close to the album's release, while Ayu had a concept in mind. I prefer this to season-themed single releases anyday.

If she released You & Me as a single, it would have to be included on her next album. Maybe she doesn't want albums with "summer" and "winter" songs, rather, an album for any season.

Ayu's artistic integrity comes before sales anyday. Stop *****ing about sales and enjoy the music.
