No matter how you might argue it, NEXT LEVEL had poorer promotion than any of her previous studio or compilation albums. It wasn't even close. Yep, the most effective form of promotion is TV appearances, magazines/radio etc. etc. aren't as powerful, not nearly. And Ayu only had ONE TV appearance, ONE. It's also the first time that Avex released two other major artists' albums in the same week as Ayu (Kuu and Tohoshinki). Never before. Dunno what they were thinking. It's not up to Ayu when the album is released.
