I am SO excited for new music! I mean, I already was - but THIS is how you tease something. I hope she comes out on fire with the music and lyrics.

As for Avex's budget, I think it seems pretty obvious they are struggling a bit. They are about to lose Namie, who is probably their top selling act at this point. Their other top sellers are mostly legacy acts, who are ageing and less popular than they were before (Ayu, Koda Kumi, etc.). TK, who was trying to produce a lot of new acts for them, has retired - I'm not sure where that leaves some of these groups. And they just haven't been able to bring any high-selling new talent to the table. Where do they go from here?
