Compared to Ayu's other album and single releases though Avex has really low balled this one promotion wise. I've only seen one billboard for it and that was in Shibuya and I probabally wouldn't have seen it had I not been specifically looking for it. Also on the release day, Avex sent out a street team w/ a table, megaphone etc only it was to promote Koda Kumi, not Ayu. I haven't seen any commercials for Startin/Born to Be or seen anything in the trains. Weird. I was in Japan when Step You came out last year and there was a lot more promotion I thought. |
I'm not suprised. Kuu is now the main focus of avex trax. They have forgot about Ayu.
