Now since vision dropped her, her career management is up in the air. Is she gonna move to a new firm? Is avex gonna decide to manage her themselves? Or is avex just gonna decide that she is not profitable enough and just drop her altogether? Who knows, we just have to wait and see.
And let me just say this, whoever was pulling the strings over there must have been on drugs or something because everyone knows mini albums don't sell like full albums do, so knowing that why would you release 7 mini albums? That would make anyone look unprofitable.

ohh, thank you so much for clearing this up for me!
now i understand this situation bit more after reading your outlook on it
OLIVIA has only released mini-albums in her career? i haven't heard much of her music so this is all new to me (i only know that Trinka Trinka was a mini-album since i heard that album at the time). i wonder why they didn't let her release full albums
