I think unlike Ayu though, ARASHI doesn't exactly get much say in what they can and cannot do.. Ayu writes all of her lyrics and so on, so unless she pumps something out, no one's getting anything from her. Whereas in ARASHI's situation, they can kinda just take a bunch of photos / act in dramas while waiting for material to come around, you know?
And about Namie's uber #1 thing.. it's almost as if people who sold more than 10-20k first week avoided selling anything at all until after BEST FICTION / A COMPLETE. It's very strange how that ended up working out.
