It seems like every release we get this 'omg ayu not promoting enough' but this is a smart marketing decision by avex and its not going to change anytime soon. there is no point pouring money into heaps of promotion when:

1. her fanbase is what's generating her sales; and
2. she is guaranteed the #1 spot if released on the right day

And think about Ayu. What do you think she decided? She probably likes it this way. Only thing that annoys me is that they don't bother sending PVs to music TV channels earlier - the whole point these videos are made is to promote the song, so use them.

I think the only time avex will ever promote the hell out of her releases is if she is challenged to the #1 spot eg. Mirrorcle World single.
I think Ayu totally doesn't care about promotion! Maybe for the magazine release & tv live yes but for the rest...no. I think she only does what she like. She like working with Leslie Kee & it's why we have a lot of magazines shoots this times. Maybe all are not shooted by Leslie Kee but we already know he did two of the 7 magazines!
