How long does it take to make a ten-song album? This post reads the dates written in the documents of dear(you); vol.1 to check one thing: the design documents of all ten songs carry the same date.

The scope and method first. We read the last updated date in each of the ten song design documents, and the date fields in each song's creation log, using grep. Here "written in one day" means only that the last updated values in the design documents are the same. We did not measure when the work was actually done, and the dates in the documents may differ from the real working times. The music is made with AI (Suno); the lyrics are drafted by AI and reviewed by a person.

Reading the table

The last updated of all ten design documents is 2026-07-04. That is not one day per song: it is one day for all ten.

The logs are different. Their dates fall on two days. Songs 02 and 03 were written up on 2026-07-06, and the seven songs from 04 to 10 on 2026-07-07. The log for song 01 gives both the start of the lyric work (2026-07-04) and the release date (2026-07-06), and the start date is the same day as the design documents' date.

The status field in the design documents still shows the state at the time of the request for all ten songs (🎬 composition requested; only the package document for song 01 says 🎵 composing). The log status is ✅ Released for all ten. So the order is visible in the dates too: the design document is a text from the moment the song was requested, and the log is a text written afterwards.

What we are not claiming

  • Songs 02 to 10 have no "release date" field in their logs, only a "written" date. We could not confirm the individual release dates of songs 02 to 10.
  • That the ten songs were made in one day. What carries one date is the last updated value, and we do not know the working hours or how long anything took.
  • The dates are values written in the documents, and they may differ from the actual working times.
  • Anything about how a listener will feel. No medical or other effect is claimed.
