In fact it never crossed my mind that EX TAPE , HURRICANE & NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU might be leftover tracks from WOML . Even if they were , they will sound out of place in the album should they were included in the prior finalised tracklist

Leftover does not mean that they should be included - it implies that they did not fit the theme, and therfore they sound different. But especially NEBY has a simliar sound to TURN AROUND, HURRICANE would have fitted WOML the most and EX_TAPE also has a similar vibe - yet they are summerish and more light and therefore taken out. And as far as we know Kumi she most likely recorded these songs around the same time.

Moreover, I did not check it, but I bet that at least one of the songs is a demo from the same prdocuers that appear on WOML.

Maybe she said "Oh well i want to do a summer best and these three songs fit" and therfore I aplogize if the term "leftovers" may hurt your little fan-feelings - but these realses are too close to not hear the similiarites.
