I don't see anything wrong with that article. It's the truth face it, her sells will boost as never before mostly because of Jaejoong.
And actually, I don't care if she will become a sort of evil witch who use Jaejoong for her purpose for TOHO fangirls.
I never really cared about sales an positions at all too, but I'd be happy if she will can break Seiko Matsuda's record.
I mean, c'mon guys every fan would be happy for that .

Well this truth didnt hurt me at all. I just thought that Ayu/Avex did a smart move to secure the #1 streak. Lol.
And I love all the JJ fans who helps Ayu in this too.

AHS married to Maro
~13/1-2010~
Spoiler:
We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. 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.

Thanks to JJ for the boost sale.
If no JJ, she can still be #1. But it's boosted because of JJ.

LMAO @ the people going "wow so degrading....blablabla...." Be thankful there's SOMETHING going for this single. This is obviously something important to her (the record that is) and it seems that avex has resorted to desperate measures to keep it going.

At least Jaejoong seemed enthusiastic and knows his place in the musical hierarchy. XP

I don't understand, why people will buy a CD, because someone, they like, is in the PV.
I would never buy a Koda Kumi CD, because for example, Ayu is in the Video. If the song is bad.. it is bad. No matter, who will act in the PV:

that always happen with idol groups..whenever their fave idol goes, they'll certainly support~ that's the power of fangirls~ they'll do anything to support.. i'm always amazed by their HIGH dedication towards their idols..

and the same as me too, if Ayu appears in whoever's PV.. I might wanna buy whoever's single too~

BUT we all know that Ayu won't just randomly pick up somebody to be acted on her PV if the actor is not good... she's a perfectionist~

Ayu will probably get no.1 even without that what's his name korean guy but obviously I'm happy that it will sell better because of him.

How is using Jaejoong any different than having a great drama tie-in ala Hana Yori Dango or the Vidal Sasson commercials? Couldn't one argue that the singles wouldn't have been as successful without them? The only reason this is being discussed is because its at/by a website which lives to glorify Kpop.

i would be happy too. but just for this single... i was worried a while bck, as it's the same day as kuu's ballad single. I was worried about the sales figure...

since japanese love ballads, and this single actually have [walk] 10th anniversary version and a pv, which a lot of fans are WANT and love. that's why i was worried that ayu's streak is a bit dangerous....

so she have to sell more then kuu, now with Hero's fans buying the CD, it should be safe...

Yeah its so rigged. I wish Avex would give Kumi the other 2 members for her PV.

Precisely. You can also say, it's no different from a collab when you have a famous artist being featured another (either equally or more) famous artist's song and video. Like Beyonce on Telephone. Or Rihanna on Run This Town. I'm sure their fans bought those singles/videos just because they were up there. Did that make Jay-Z and Gaga look desperate for sales? It's just good marketing, you have fans of both artists buying the same product to boost sales and possibly even getting people who weren't interested in the other artist before to check out their other work (which from the reports of the DBSK fans here, seems to be happening). Either way, it's a win for the record company, a win for both artists involved, and just good business sense.

It's promo y'all... you know, that thing we barely saw ANY of with the last single.
