It's not just Ayu - a fairly large amount of the major-label jpop stuff has been removed.

Maybe their contract was up and they didn't renew it because it wasn't selling?

You can put new stuff out while your contract is still good. But when it's up, it's up.

Well, I don't see how it could sell good. I haven't ever heard anyone in here talk about they bought it on iTunes, everyone is using japanese stores (CDJ/YA/HMV)

^Yeah! I entered to the spanish iTunes Store this morning and saw that Ayu was removed! I hope that it becomes available again... -__- Now that Dragonball evolution is going to be released here, it doesn't make sense that they remove Rule/Sparkle, right?

It's free to get iTunes, right? I'll check the Danish iTunes when I get home. I know GUILTY is/has been avaiable there (One of the 26 countries of this is a place where her fan number is that small? lol)

I hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it. For some reason it's mainly the JPop that disappeared...like...all of it.........

It's not just Jpop that has disappeared from iTunes. Now that iTunes Plus is the standard Apple is pulling any music that is lower quality. Avex and other Japanese labels will have to provide have to provide higher quality copies of their music before it will show up again on iTunes.
