And I would love to see Ayu actually beat strong competition for once and then be able to go "yay Ayu, you did awesome!" etc etc. And honestly, losing the number one streak wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing ever. She can then not worry about it and just release what she wants, when she wants. And at least with Fukuyama it's not like she would be losing to something totally random like Shuchushin (which would have been much more embarrassing). I'm not necessarily a Fukuyama fan, but at least he has talent and has been around for a long time - not just a flavor of the month type of deal. The number one streak will have to come to an end at some point and if it is with this single it's much better this than to the next crappy Hexagon group that comes out of nowhere or something. 
While Fukuyama doesn't likely affect Ayu's sales, moving the single to the 23rd very well might effect the sales negatively. As the poster above mentioned, it's too close to Christmas. So that's another strike against moving it to the 23rd. |
LOL, i was going to write the same ideas
... looks like you won me!! haha :p
Yeah... i mean, it would be kind of lame from ayu to remove her release date... just to keep the number one streak.we all know her sales have (slowly) gone downhill, and the number one appearing on the charts are just symbolic, because her sales are by no means what they used to be. At least, if she´s got all these number ones, she should prove she has the right to hold them.
(and show those are not a mere product of marketing)
With all due respect, changing the date would mean that avex is too desperate to cover something it doesn't exist anymore. I mean, it happens to all artists, even to huge names like Michael Jackson and Madonna. and like sunshine said, the fact that she's compteing with Fukuyama doens't necesarily means
it's gonna affect her single sales either.
