This just means the single got postponed to 08/17. Ok, Avex, you want me to lose my will to buy it? Is that it? 'Cause you are really doing a great job in that direction.
I'm guessing it's because of Kis-My-Ft2. Now they might be part of Johnnys, but for releasing their CDs, Kis-My-Ft2 has chosen Avex. And AKB48's DiVA is also releasing on 8/10. Now, as we all know, Kuu's part of Rhythm Zone, and that label is part of the Avex Group, so it doesn't seem right if there are big Avex artists bunching up and competing for #1 at the same time... I mean, this - three BIG artists (Kis-My-Ft2 might only be their debut single, but their fanbase is strong and they have been waiting for a single to be released, while DiVA is part of the you-know-what...) from the same group bunching up to fight for the #1 when you realize that only one can get that spot?

If they did not announce that, Kuu's fans are going to be really thinking all over again "why did you do this!?". Now I think we're relieved a bit, but let's see which other artists will be releasing singles on 8/17...
