Please explain how ayu-mi-x 7 -trance- sold just as many copies in 2011 as the other three releases, if it was so out a decade ago?

Look, Love Classics sold 8k during its life. This may sell a fraction of that. You know it won't be promoted. And I bet there will be another editorial criticizing Ayu for her career moves.

I'm sure some of these remixes will be loved, but this release only adds to the list of the reasons people cite for not buying Ayu's records anymore. You can tell yourself whatever you want--it's admirable to support Ayu--but it doesn't change that Ayu's career isn't reflecting her fans right now.

EDIT: I just realized I've been spelling ayu-mi-x wrong for two days. Fixed.
