ExodusUK comment is actually logical, you know. and the reasons he has stated are actually quite rational.
he simply pointed out what he feels like a 'let it be' Ayuteam attitude now, if I got it right. and avex attitude is unexplainable to me.
but what could we expect with so little promotion?
'ayumi hamasaki' is a brand, but you still need to remind people 'I'm still here', you know, you cannot fully rely on the old fanbase or old brand reputation/luck...like in fashion industry

Big celebration there~ I actually didn't think PQ would sell better than JAPONESQUE but only future will tell.

yes it did sell more, but you know, the promo for it did suck a lot too!
avex just decided to get profit from YGEX, it seems?
avex is much to blame as they do it to many artists, look at ICONIQ even, or Ami Suzuki?
to me sales are very low, unexpectable. I too, though, thought it wouldn't sell more than JAPONESQUE somehow, and JAPONESQUE didn't deserve such sales also
