Personally I stopped caring about physical CD sales a long time ago cos every year the no.s kept going down gradually
Most if not all of my favourite artistes I support , they can't sell well anymore except if you're Johnnys , the whole AKB family tree
Kuu has been in the industry for so long already . I'm sure she herself knows her selling power is not there as compared to before
But if there's still demand for her to continue to perform , release non concert goods & all that , then why not ?
The music industry has changed drastically over the years . Now musicians cannot rely solely on physical CD sales any longer , they have to diversify whether they like it or not
And Ayu_Love made a good point & at some point in time , the novelty items giveaway that's included in a music release tend to be a big factor to trying to push sales up
If not some artistes wouldn't do extensive release events to get the word out of their new releases out cos if not for them , their sales would tank big time on Oricon
