The thing is the album isn't labelled as a "Best of", but as "1st album", so it doesn't get that kind of promotion.
I agree with the rest of your post though. I feel Ayu's been doing pretty much what she likes for a couple of years (I'd say since the (miss)understood era).
The thing is, these songs would have sounded much better as stand-alone songs, IMO.
If she had turned this into a 5-week-string-single release or something (with the PVs and some performances here and there), I think more people would have checked it out. But an album out of the blue without any sort of cohesion... I'm not feeling it.
