If I remember correctly GUILTY/Secret only came in 2 editions, and only had like 1 commercial tie in without any singles being released right before the releasee date so there can't be any crossover promotion. Ayu might've not had as many lives, but she did get other things to compensate for it. And plus I think a lot of the lives for the other 2 times were caused mainly because avex released it duringg the christmas new years season where there's are end of the year concerts. I think its pretty even.
If you want to compare promotions of the other CDs, lets start with Secret first. She preformed 11 times, 10 jewel + 1 1love, 6 magazine appearances, 2 radio appearances. Startin' was the theme song for a game, BtB - winter olympics, Blue Bird- zespri kiwi, beautiful fighters - dsnap, jewel - Lumix, 1 love Dsnap, Secret - movie. She had nov-dec to promote this over a month.

Guilty had 10 performances mainly together when... and 8 magazine shoots. T2M had Lumix, glitter was used 4 times for different things, fated a movie, decision music.jp. She had between December to January to promote this. Over a month easily.

Next Level had 1 tv performance, like 2-3 magazines, and 5 songs used for promotion. She had 2 DAYS to promote it, mainly her visit to the radio station and her performance in rule. The rest she just practiced for her tour/Finishing her album. 4 versions =/= promotion. USB is not promotion. How can you promote music with no sample??? Also how can you when the majority of ppl cant hear the songs of next level less than a week since it's release date?

Can you say it's the same?
