And the Ayu fan sites have it up usually at least a week before the official site does. And for magazines it has to be known several weeks in advance because of how early the mags go on the shelves. But really, everything is just rumor right now as to what is going on - I think a lot of fans are just shocked because this is not how Ayu and certainly not how Avex usually promotes - no matter how you look at it its kinda weird. Even Avex announcing a release date for an album that by and large hadn't been recorded yet is weird. Hopefully the latest is true that at least Dragon Ball is getting an m-topics mention today; its not much, but at least its something.

I don't think that would be quite the reason simply due to the fact that they put quite a bit of promotion into Koda's album Trick plus, when I was in Japan the first 2 weeks of this month, they had already started doing promotion stuff with Namie even though her single isn't due till mid march she was on several magazine covers, her cms were getting heavy airplay, and then of course the coke zero posters started going up. I was surprised her promotion was starting that early actually. In comparison, a post from 2 ch says that they have yet to see a single cm on tv for rule/sparkle, Dragon Ball, or even the Honda Zest Spark Cm. I'm seriously interested to see how this single will do. Will it be surprisingly high or rock bottom low?

I'm slightly worried about this as well. Ninki has been known to be highly inaccurate and while DCT has not sold super great lately, this is their 20th anniversary single. I'm more worried about Flumpool though. As other have said, its likely to be an upstart group that would eventually take the single streak away since Avex usually won't put her up against big selling established players. It almost happened with Shuchushin and for whatever reason, flumpool has been gaining a lot of attention the last few months.
I'm getting too into this, haha~ Must go to sleep now.
