Yeah I fully agree with Kikaru. 2007 has been a year of bad decisions for avex. BoA might not be a huge seller any longer but she's only 21. That's really young for an artist and she has the vocals and the dancing talents. They're truly wasting away a potential artist who could still regain back some of her sales with careful planning and promotion. I feel the same for Ai Otsuka. She had a lot of potential back in 2004-05 but seems her talents are now being wasted because of sloppy marketing schemes.

Also the fact that Ayumi's promotional campaigns are getting more and more dry is pretty sad in my opinion because she still has a decent fanbase and a pretty high potential to churn out hits. I hope this album will bee marketed more carefully this time or she'll end up selling less and less.
