If I read the article correctly, it states that releases are, for no other reason, released the way they are in order to garner as many sales as possible within the Oricon week. Instead of honoring that form of release pattern, Ayu is honoring/commemorating the 8th of the month, her debut. The ranking is not important, but rather the day on which it is released.

She has also stated:


Rough translation? She wants to thank the fans who have followed her throughout the years by releasing a lot of new songs. And that she tends to enjoy every 8th of the month along with her fans.

This Oricon article also states that we should expect further surprises as well.

"releasing a lot of new songs" makes me excited!
