lets make this clear again. ku is part of Rhythm Zone. ayu is part of avex. yes, Rhythm Zone is part of avex as the 'bigger' label, but i really doubt that max matsuura or any of the higher execs at the avex 'main' label have much control over wut happens at rhythm zone.
someone mentioned that ayu was getting 'too big' for the company (thru market share etc. yeah thats true and avex/sub-labels have been trying to diversify all they can and invest in other artists. wut would happen to avex when ayu finally decides to call it quits? thats not good for the company, so thats y they do this, its not like they are betraying ayu or anything. and we've seen wut avex/sub-labels invests in. ie: BoA, Otsuka Ai, Koda Kumi. it makes perfect sense to invest in them more than ayu cos they still have a long way ahead of them. at least 5 years (for BoA, like 10 years.) how many years does ayu have left? not very much. once artists, especially female ones hit 30, do u see the in the mainstream jpop world?
and i agree with asongforxx. if ayu can still be strong w/out the promo needed, y r u complaining?
