Ayu has been doing so many double A-sides lately (let alone triple A-sides - which are rare for any artist), they probably want to thin her about a bit.
If this is the case, then with this single change, I feel there will be another single at the end of the summer, similar to the pattern the past two years have taken. |
Her past 2 summers haven't been full of releases. There was only 1 single for each summer, INSPIRE then fairyland. She's followed the 1 single/season pattern for 2 years though. So that's why I don't think avex will release a single before September.

Ayu has released a lot of triple A-side singles in the summertime (H and & were consecutive summers). They would rather she release several small singles because they are cheaper to put out, and they create a longer span of income. |
In my mind, it would've been in their best interests to release the triple-A single instead of the single-A cos yes, it does bring a lot more revenue. They could use that extra revenue and make up for the lost revenue from Startin' and somewhat for (m)u. It'll spike for sure, but by having the triple-A it might help her single sales go back up to the 300k mark again.
