Crazy bonus goodies like Koda Kumi. Koda's marketing tactis holds me in awe.  Now with the slot machine scheme, I can bet Black Cherry will sell a lot. And the single + photobook thingy too must be done, like with Maroc. More unique photoshoots. And dramas, instead of just making a tie-in, STAR IN ONE, DAMNIT. Main movie songs, like HEAVEN is vital. She hasn't done a proper big name tie-in since HEAVEN.
No stripping or boob-baring, that'll just lower sales. Janet and Courtney Love = Living Proof. |
And plus I don't think Ayumi has much boobage to begin with...so...
I think this album had really good tracks such as 1love, secret, and kiss o' kill, and I don't mind it not selling millions.
I've noticed, When she was releasing summer songs people were like "omg she should release rock/ballads". When she's singing ballads people are like "omg she should stop singing ballads". When she do rock that is the opposite of the light, poppy stuff people goes "omg it sound like what she's releasing this year (although if you can find what's so similar between BF and 1LOVE I will give you a cookie)".
I'm sorry if I sound a bit snarky and snappish. If I offended someone, I'm sorry, but as someone observing from the sides, it seems like nothing Ayu does nowadays can satisfy people. They ask her to take a break, which she did between BB and Secret, and then I see people going "I wish she had news and releases more stuff". When she did release, people goes "I wish she goes on a break".
