2010, New Album,and her 50th Single

[kotora]

Have anyone noticed this?

You were.../BALLADS is ayu's 47th single, and it seems that she will release her 50th single in this year if and only if the release pattern is going to be like 2009

2009 (Evidence) -> (Time for release) -> 2010 (Prediction)
RULE/Sparkle -> (Spring Release) -> 48th Single
Sunrise/Sunset -> (Summer Release) -> 49th Single
You were.../BALLAD -> (Winter Release) -> 50th Single

So, it is possible 2010 is another remarkable year for ayu because she has released 50th single in her career. And it means that she is the first one (I think) in doing so?

On the other hand, she likes to have a tour for promotion her album. Since the 2010 tour news is out, it possible means that there is a new album to be released soon.

So the questions for discussion are

[1] Do you think that 2010 is remarkable for her?
[2] What do you expect in her 50th single?
[3] If the releasing pattern is not the same as 2009, when do you want her 50th single to be released ?
[4] What do you expect in her new album?
