If anyone is thinking "Why isn't Ayu doing those numbers...?" well... the director of all the Evangelion films and stuff like Shin Godzilla directed that video, the song is all over the place because the movie that's been like a decade in the making finally came out, just not really comparable by any means. If the tables were turned I think Ayu could still do rather respectably in the same scenario.

A fair comparison is with Hikaru Utada's "Time". She's arguably more consistent in terms of YouTube views compared to Ayu, but without a strong tie-in ("Time" is a theme of an asadorama, if I'm not wrong), she garnered 3 million views with that MV. It's still stronger than "Ohia no Ki" and "Dreamed a Dream", but less than "One Last Kiss" phenomenon.
