Lol these pics are really missleading.

Like half of them are from Yoyogi Stadium with all the ayupans and everything (the trucks stood there for two days, same trucks on diffrent pics) and the rest are in the small Ayu corners in cdstores or from the collaboration that we all already knew about. I was in Tokyo when they released GUILTY and that was HUUUUUGE promotion. You saw her everywhere really! It was mindblowing. This year Im living in Tokyo and I dont see that much promotion at all. Namie still have bigger promotion in the CDstores and to count with billborads then Ayu and she even released before Ayu... The only thing that Ayu got good promotion in is during the two days of CDL when Yoyogi Stadium was all Ayu and the collaboration was on. Rest then those two days...? Not so much. Ive seen like two billboards, quite hidden.

So I was about to write here about how I wished Avex out more promotion to this single that they have done actually...

Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

Which is sad, really. I don't understand why they don't promote her as much anymore. It's like they feel they don't need to, or something. I understand she has a steady fanbase, her fans that will follow her and buy her singles all the time, but to others, I think promotion and advertising is SUPER important!! Why would you buy someone's music if you don't see any commercials or billboards of them anywhere? It's like they're not taking any of it seriously anymore... *sigh*

Well, I guess at least they were promoting a little for 2 days. XD Better than nothing at all. Still cool to see the pictures~

You said everything I think. The promotion is veeeeeeeeery weak. Seriously it's not a real promotion for me.
Even in the music shop there are/was not big advertising panels or things like that.
A lot of my friends did not know about Ayu's new single...

I totally agree. Don't let a few pictures of billboards mislead you. Promotion is very weak. Just take the number of magazine covers for instance. 3? That's so pathetic. And out of the 3, 2 of them (Scawaii and Sweet) are coming out AFTER the single was released. Namie and Fukuyama Masaharu have been on at least 10-15 magazine covers in the past 2 months.

it's so crazy how in Asia, thats the norm.

Here, if a celebrity was on 3 magazine covers, it would be amazing. 10-15 like within such little time? Insanity lol

What MissElin said is true. I live in Tokyo and I've only seen a couple of billboards, much less the ayu trucks driving around blasting music.

Those store names with the A logo are not for You Were.../BALLAD promotion I think. It's just a collaboration for CDL, lasting only 2 short days, 30th and 31st. During those days, the 5 stores in collaboration will change their names to include the A logo, and sell special T-shirts with the store name on it.



Why anyone would want a plain white shirt which says "Tokyu Hands" on it, even with the changed A logo, I don't know. Lol!

Anyway, those who visit all 5 stores and collect 5 stickers can enter a lucky draw during CDL, which entitles them to win a special mug or mini-towel.

Just my opinion, but I feel that the event was just a massive effort to drain money from fans. You run around downtown, pay close to $100 to get 5 shirts, and the reward is just a cup.
