It can gives people a taste of what the 8th album may sound like. Also it's quite elegant to see that avex makes a cover for this digital release.
"Digital single" is just a term for the company to milk the fans. How many people really care about the ranking of the digital release? Well probly we do, but not as much as the oricon ranking. If Together When cannot top the download chart, we won't feel like it's end of the world. Everyone knows it will be on the upcoming album anywayz. BUT it's cheap to download a song rite? Many people are willing to pay 200 yen for a download instead of spending >1000 yen to buy a single (esp the album will be out very soon).

I totally agree there...except the part where its suppose to be the 9th album not 8th.
Did we kinda saw this coming? I mean...talkin' 2 myself was available for download on sites before being released part of the physical single..
