A ton of artist do put mini album stuff on full album.
BUT ayumi has not, and I wouldnt expect her to do it either.
But like I said, she also has never not released physical singles before an album like "Party Queen" and she also hasn't released mini-albums formatted like singles either like "LOVE" and "again". That's the point I was making. She's done things recently that she's never done before so it's been pretty hard to determine what she'll do if she's changed her formula recently from what she's done for the majority of her career.

I was referring to 2NE1's Japanese mini album as an example (which is why I put Japanese in parenthesis next to it). All of the songs on their Japanese mini album with the exception of one song ended up on their full Japanese album. OLIVIA is Japanese and the majority of the songs on her series of mini-albums ended up on her album.

As I said, although there's a possibility they won't end up on the album (she stated before that she had enough songs that she made during the "Party Queen" era for a second album so she has the material to make this a completely original album), it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. As much as I would prefer not to have to buy "LOVE" or "again", having an album with all brand new songs is even better. My wallet would be screaming in agony but it would be better in the end, especially for those who purchased "LOVE" and "again".
