Well, the reason that celebrities go on TV and appear on magazines is because they released something. You know, because it would be kinda pointless for her to go on TV just because it's her tenth year anniversary, with no specific topic in mind. Therefore in my logic (and feel free do disagree), her appearance on TV correlates with her releases.

Maybe they didn't promote guilty as much because Avex thought Ayu's name is probably enough to carry through at least a little bit? I mean, I wish Guilty and MW got more promotion, definitely, but from Avex's point of view, why waste so much time and effort promoting an already really well known singer who they probably already have a good idea of how much that album will sale instead of promoting someone new and fresh with the potential to sell more?
