They have a very large audience in the 20-40 year old range that are losing their idol. It would make sense if they are trying to use their current artists that have the potential to appeal to that audience; that's a ton of money that's about to leave the company and I don't see them really cultivating anyone new. One can hope anyway that this might finally mean an album with better promotion again. |

I'm curious if they really KNOW how to promote these days, to be honest. Namie was a bit of an anomaly - she's always had strong tie-ins and ad campaigns, but she doesn't do much by way of promo otherwise (not appearing on TV, not really doing interviews, etc.). So again, I'm hopeful that they'll pull it together, but I'm not sure how strong their team really is to begin with. |

I think she's just being more public about the meetings and what they are for especially since she knows people are waiting for the album.

I don't think avex is increasing their attention to Ayu either. That would be great though. But sadly I think it is Ayu's decision to do less promo not avex.

Young people rather stream their music than buying while the older ones buy. Would explain why there are artists with high streaming numbers on youtube (like a bunch of J-rappers with some millions), but it's not reflecting in sales. And for e.g. like Utada, who is big in sales, but not so big in streaming numbers (she e.g. only has about 30k followers on Line Music and somebody like Kuu or Ayu has thrice as much). Probably different for tours and goods tho. I do agree tho, that probably nothing will change with Ayu and this new album. We just never knew closer, how she's working. And I think the Music Fair special is probably also about her 20th Anniversary - about time they do something for it.

I don't think that Avex is putting more effort in old singers. They are pretty aware that what happened with Namie is abnormal. I also think that Ayu doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore. She seems happier in the shadow and on the stage with her fans. She might just do those special tv shows because it’s her 20th anniversary and think it’s a good way to fill the gap between the end of her concert and a-nation.
Regarding the meeting I’m in the” they just never talked about them” side. In the past she told us about the meeting of her concert. She doesn’t do it anymore, it doesn’t mean they don’t meet anymore. |

Yeah, I don’t know if they are putting more behind her or not, but I’m hopeful that they will. I mean hey, we’ve got two tv appearances around the time that an album is getting announced. That feels like already more promo than the last few years combined lol

Very excited to see she`s talking about the new album, looks like they had their last meeting about it, which means they`re in the production phase for retail (or otherwise). If there`s one thing I`ve learned about Japanese business, is that you go through many many many meetings and e-mails for every detail. Whether it includes everyone or not, there are usually more meetings than probably needed. And for someone like Ayu, you know they go all out, even if her label is weening back. Her staff will most likely continue to have meetings w/out her, in terms of marketing, distribution, etc. She`s most likely already expressed her goals and such in previous meetings for the new album, and thus needs to just follow a schedule her team has laid out, and will attend meetings on a needed basis if something comes up.
Let`s hope they`ll reveal more details right before and during the TV performances . |

いくつになっても根本的な部分は変わらない。例えば靴だったらヒールでもスニーカーでもこんな風にすっとし てるのが好き。 昔から靴に異常に執着するのは履いているうちにズレに気が付くからなのかも知れない。自分を委ねられないと 、そして相手にも委ねられないと、信頼関係は崩れて靴ずれを起こす。 |

I wonder who turned her onto those YELLO brand shoes from Japan.

I love them, they’re so weird.
Also their marketing is so different than what Japan usually has to offer. I hate those sneakers tho.
