They used ayu... that album wasn't what she wanted... so I guess Imma stick to what ayumi wants. A BEST II was done by her, she was happy releasing that!
All that crazy promotion back then for A BEST was seriously disgusting... they used ayu's growing popularity
Anyway I want some lives for RnRC  cant wait!! |
I think maybe a lot of people have watched Super TV interview,
But during time of A BEST, it wasn't AVEX that pushed her,
She was the one who coordinated the promotion of A BEST.
She said that "This best album could be my last, it's not something you can put out again and again," and because of that, she did all the promotions.
Of course it was AVEX who told her on which day of which month the Best album would come out, so of course it is in the end AVEX's fault,
But Ayumi was the one who pushed herself to do all the magazines, etc.
I think normal albums won't be promoted like that because they are just albums,
Where as bests are really popular and almost like foundation of popularity for artists.
Why do you think Koda Kumi puts out a best album every year or so? She knows it will sell much better than real album...
But anyways, I miss the television performances where she would be on every week, for example music station..
I remember BLUE BIRD being performed 2 or 3 weeks in a row on MSte.
