No promotion, the more likely it'll flop....no matter who you are. Promotion is key to everything when it comes to releasing music which TITO and W/D didn't really have at all. Now that I think about it, Best&USA didn't have much promotion either.
The promotion for WILD/Dr. was excellent. WILD HEALTH. BoA had like 4-5 TV lives performing Eien, and a performance for UNIVERSE. BoA was featured in many japanese magazines. Pretty good promotion. Utada should have been able to sell better than she did, promotion or no promotion, english album or not. She's Utada.

Why do some people like to live in denial and not accept that maybe just maybe people are losing interest in their favorite artist?
