[gallowsCalibrator]

I'm so excited! I've decided to make a little chibi booklet of all of the new pics we've gotten for R'n'RC It's both a celebration of the release of the album and a birthday present for my little brother, who's birthday is on the same day as the release date I'll share it with you guys too (^_^)

My brother is excited for it as well, not only for his b-day, but because he recently became an Ayu fan last year

I've also failed at keeping everything a secret and not looking at it, so I gave up and I'm looking at everything that gets leaked

[JackieRos]

[adantatu2]

I hope we can get the pv of Sexy Little Things this week
Don't look back the next week
And Lady Dynamite with the album

Interesting discussion above. Personally, these days I think singles and albums are really just promotional tools for the real major moneymakers in an artist's repertoire: the concerts. Sure, they contain an artist's material, but the concert tour is the bread and butter.

I remember a TLC interview wherein they said that they earned 10 cents for every album sold. I think that shows the reality of how musical artists actually make a living and where the bulk of their fortune really comes from: fees for media appearances, commercial sponsorships, concerts, and royalties. Singles and albums are important for establishing an artist's fan base in his or her career, but for someone who's been around as long as Ayu they become less significant over time (the artist instead banks on his or her reputation), unless someone is attempting a comeback, of course.

Still no sign of any of the other PVs on the music channels. Strange that Microphone hasn't shown up anywhere except for SSTV/VMC. Usually MTV were the first to show ayu's video clips.

Seems like her PVs don't get the attention they used to, or avex are only forwarding the clips to SSTV/VMC and no other channels?

[truehappiness]

Microphone probably made a super early appearance on SSTV/VMC.

I don't think the PVs really get all that much attention tbh since not everyone really has the music / PV channels anyway. They show the PVs in stores to promote the album when it releases after all.

Its the same in Australia - music channels are all on PayTV. There's only a couple of music video shows on free TV, but they aren't in any primetime viewing slot.

Still, those channels are the outlet for music video promotion. Even if its a small number, its still something. That's the whole point of these videos - to promote the song - through instore plays or music channels.

[ayumisrael]

That's why most likely CD+DVD versions are doing hot in Japan since people there prefer to buy the PVs and watch them whenever they want instead of looking at the channels on TV and waiting to see them or something.

I don't think that CD+DVD versions are as hot in other countries, or as popular as a release.

[haraiso]

Yeah, I think I'd have to agree.

I think you hardly ever see CD+DVD releases in the U.S. because the content is so easily available on iTunes and YouTube [as in, the official companies themselves upload the video for watching].
Korea does the same thing with providing music videos and such on sites like GomTV.

But with Japan, as far as I know, they've stuck with occasional airings on music channels, playings in stores as promos, and of course...CD+DVD releases. Only recently, I think, have they started going to the internet (like how Ayu's official youtube was recently created).

[Bigtop]

Two more weeks already!? Time goes so fast...

[AyUta]

It'll be here in no time guys .
