@ SURREAL__RAINBOW: I think the problem lies with the tie-ins themselves...We have seen tie-ins helping with the sales a lot like with Kuon no Kawa and Kuon no Kawa didn't even have a b-side like her recent singles with tie-ins for both the a-side and the b-side~
Avex needs to realize it doesn't matter how many tie-ins a single have, the tie-in itself is really important too! Don't just stick alan to any historical movie (which is a problem too...alan is still attracting the old men! )
I'm not saying for alan to act all cute, but just do something, so she appeals more to the general public and not all of the old men

So about tie-ins......quality > quantity
It doesn't matter if she has a bunch of tie-ins if the tie-ins themselves aren't strong enough to make people notice the music.

alan's sales are rather consistent and pretty good compared to other artists, but her sales still aren't good enough because her popularity just isn't high enough. Avex did a lot more promotion with this single, but the same thing...getting alan to sing at some firework event or just getting her on radio shows still isn't big enough for most people to notice her.

And I can't see other music markets in Asia for alan to try...unless she wants to break into the Korean music market? She's actually doing pretty good in China~ So not a lot to complain about there...

The things that we're worried about...I'm sure that her manager and Max knows about it~ So better not to spam him with it...(However...if you ever feel like spamming him about alan symphony 2010...I'm all for it! )

@ GRACE: Pictures?!!! *o*
