Hopefully this means that we'll see better sales for "LOVE again". However, I do think that Avex should work on cleaning up their reputation. If they've been regarded as a dirty company, it certainly didn't stem solely from the release formats of "LOVE" and "again". Maybe Ayu didn't have as much say and control in this as some may have thought she did if this is a practice that has been done with other artists under the label.

Yes but I don't recall off the top of my head many of the "divas" having as many editions of one album as Ayu. NEXT LEVEL had the USB, R'n'R had the BOX SET with items and the autographed lyrics, Love songs had the LP, also the playbuttons. Her marketing strategy is geared toward the collectors and hardcore fans who avex knows will eat that crap up.
