It's something like, say MOON hasn't even sunk in well with the listeners, and then suddenly there's another single... O_o personally I feel it's a risky move, and inappropriate for Ayu at this point of time in her career.

But that's just my opinion, so...
I understand your fears, but people have been BEGGING Ayu to step out of her usual release pattern for ages and this year she seems to finally be doing so. I mean think about it, RnRC came out after the tour started. There were 4 brand new PVs. A free song preview (for the fan club) coupled with the album. Now the song is apart of this massive single project. She's taking risks and I would think the majority would find it refreshing. But like you I hope she doesn't fail. However, I really do feel like the public interest in her is moderately well enough to prompt success with this project.

Stay away baby! Didn't you say no listening to singles until the album so it would all feel brand new to you?

We can start a prayer circle.














Oh, and buy the singles. That would probably help too!

Yeah I was debating it but I listened to the clip of MOON and the clip of Blossom 4 times maybe. So I somewhat know the sound of these songs - but now that I know it's a 3 single project, I'm debating if I might wait until the release date of the 50th single and listen to them all that day. But I don't want to hear an amazing fresh Summer song when Summer is over. I'll be sad I didn't get to enjoy it that Summer. Lol.

Lol, don't torture yourself that way. If it's true that all these songs are done (or at least planned) and are all linked in some way, the point of releasing in 3 different consecutive singles is for you to listen to the first one and think about how the second one will be. Or at least that's what I feel ayu may be doing, since she likes to make her fans think about her works. So won't collecting all 3 and listening at one go sort of ruin the fun and possible deeper understanding of those songs? Like knowing the ending of a story before even starting the book?

I don't know, ayu is so philosophical and deep at times, I can't help but think this way.
