Will things be better if Ayu leaves Avex?

Oh yes you are right. I had been confused since lately I had been playing Dejavu and JAPONESQUE but only the songs from JAPONESQUE which I like and that is two of them... IN THE AIR and LOVE TECHNIQUE. No Man's Land is ok too but not ground-breaking.

Just paste her poster everywhere like crazy (just like what's happening for Kyary) and that will make people notice of Ayu.
And maybe Ayu shall appear in variety shows too.. I miss seeing her interaction with other artistes. Or maybe she should have her AyuReady back!! I think that'll help!!!

She doesn't have to necessarily leave Avex, she could stay with them and outsource the marketing and promotion part to another company like many successful artists, both western and eastern, do.

True, but the way she is being marketed isn't doing her any justice. Its hurting her career, status, and reputation more than it is helping her. Like her putting Manny and Maro in videos and then getting involved with them is very low class.
