Yes, it is coming out on the week H is released. But I don't see what the problem in that is and I don't see what the point in that original comment is.

The quote's dumb imo, is how I feel the speaker is saying. (S)He is implying that since avex wants to "try EVERYTHING" to increase Kumi's sales, they have to resort to releasing the single on the week H was released (plus along with the 12 singles, 4A etc.) Please, as if Japanese people actually remember the exact week when H was released and as if no avex artist is allowed to release on the same week as Ayu's past releases (because if they did release it on the same week, avex is just trashing Ayu and supporting other artists, and the world will come to an end.)

Ayu still gets priority/importance in how much is spent on her concerts, PVs, etc. no? Don't get me wrong, Kumi is getting/does get a lot more promo, compared to let's say 2 years ago. But I still think avex's main interest is with the sustainment of Ayu's revenue as it is still the largest even if Kumi' sales have skyrocketed.
EDIT: Also, she's most likely going to have the honourable last slots at the a-nation concerts. Unless they switch Kumi with Ayu around, then I'm pretty sure Ayu still has priority over Kumi.
