Ayu has spent far more years than Kumi and has worked really hard and this seems a pretty poor way to repay a long term artist by throwing her aside and I really cannot find it in me to forgive avex for treating her so poorly imo.

Yeah and those 3 magazines aren't really high profile other than Sweet. I saw the TOKYO mag cover and it's a jumbled mess and doesn't contain anything about Ayu on the inside from what I paged through. However, maybe Ayu wanted to hold back with promotion for this single a bit since she was in the midst of perparing her tour.
While I do agree that Koda has a nice voice, I would have rather seen Otsuka Ai get this kind of promotional blitz from Avex since she at least writes her own material. I like a few of Koda's songs such as Cutey Honey, Butterfly, and 1000 Words, but the vast majority of them are just lacking something to make them memorable imo.
