So is Ayu releasing new material soon or what?

[truehappiness]

Of course she's going to be releasing new material soon. (it was one of the 5-release project prizes to participate on a new song)

Keep in mind that she got the new album out of the way really early on in the year and had 5 (6) releases per month leading into this year, so it's only natural that they'll wait for people's wallets to recover. With the last CD release and upcoming DVD/BD, I think she will likely have something out before 2014 rolls around. Also lately, she doesn't release ANYTHING while she's touring or doing events, and I think those have recently wrapped up with a-nation and the Dream Festival.

Just for comparison....
