I wish people would quit bagging on avex. No one said you had to buy EVERYTHING they released. If you're the type who absolutely must have everything w/ ayu's name on it, as soon as it comes out, that's your own problem. They're giving you choice and variety. Pick what you like best.

BTW, in Billboard Magazine here in the US there was an article on Tom Yoda's departure from avex and Max Matsuura's almost-departure. They quote ayu directly in it. Anyway, they called Avex an independent label. I dunno if they're an indie label by american or japanese definition, or even if it's different in japan than in the states to be considered independent. But they are one. Which probably accounts for their "money-grubbing" techniques. Far as I can tell, they're producing what they can to attract buyers and make money. Being an independent company, I can see why they'd have to do that alot more than, say, Toshiba-EMI or King. So don't criticize so much. I'd like to see alot of you effectively run a company, indie or not. If it makes them money and doesn't cost much, that's what they're supposed to do. Profit is kinda what you're supposed to get in the end. So basically, unless everyone stops buying everything avex, they're gonna keep doing what they're doing.

As for my take on the single, I wish About You was on it cuz it sounded cool, but Carols is nice and I'm a X'mas nut so I think I'll enjoy the song and PV if they're christmasy at all. ~
