#3 only sold 3466 copies, so not much competition from the new releases. Good chance she'll stay top 5.

I never said "go all out on promo" or anything like that. Just that actually promoting will help outside of her usual three or four magazines. It doesn't really matter if the music is dull or not, but listeners at least need to be aware that new music is coming.

FNS 2012 was a disaster?
this is news to me. I really think ayumi's problem is... who she is. I was thinking about it today. If she released something like what AKB48 (any sister group) or something that kis-my-ft2 has released that has sold tons, she wouldnt sale the same because who she is. She could completely reinvent herself and be a completely different artist, but people still wouldnt buy her stuff because it ayumi hamasaki. which is sad. |

I'm really glad this is number 1 but the actual sales figures are pretty low. Even with Party Queen, I never thought I would see the day an Ayu ALBUM sells less than 100k.
I think Ayu is not the type of singer whom people want to see as being relatable or accessible (*ahem AKB48). Her appeal has mostly been having this larger than life, queenly, mysterious aura. But lately her PVs show her romping about with Maro and behaving like a silly light-headed schoolgirl. People don't want to see that from Ayu. Her entire creative and marketing team should get the sack IMO. |

^It's so hard to reply your post in the office with Ayu's butt exploding on my screen.. What I'm trying to say is I don't see the queen anymore. I see someone who's cute, rather immature, that's about it. It's a pity that the general impression she's giving the Japanese public now is something of a delinquent lovelorn teen. What's keeping me supporting her is the regularity and quality of her music. At least that's been consistent all along.

if shes really ok with all these lackluster releases then i guess whatever floats her boat but i think shes done stuff before which was phenomenal and that means she has the potential to do it again. to be honest i thought brillante was amazing. but after that the closest thing was return road. but in terms of a FULL cohesive piece of music and art i havent seen one since guilty for me. and for the japanese pubic prob n even earlier release. but i still think shell have her comeback sooner or later! if namie can she can |

They need to make a documentary and show it on a popular variety program.
People need to see into the life of Ayumi Hamasaki, and they need to see that she isn't just some cute, immature person. She is on top of all of her stuff, she does the tour planning herself, she completely controls her empire - and no one knows this anymore. She needs to come out, and say this is Ayumi Hamasaki. No more lies, or hidden lives... she needs to lay it out on the line. Every one makes gossip about her. But she NEVER responds to this gossip, unless it's potentially career shattering. She needs to open up about her life, if she wants to get those sales again. If she doesn't, then she doesn't have to. No one really knows her anymore, she isn't on any program, she doesn't post any video blogs, and the little interaction she does on Twitter now isn't even worth mentioning. She's walled herself into a Fortress, like in the lyrics of Wake me up. Everyone thinks they can get in, but nobody actually gets in. I think even she herself knows the sand castles she built aren't holding. She needs to change her PR strategy if she wants to continue her career. LOVE again sales are just plain attrocious. For someone who is called Japan's Top Female Star, it's a shame she's selling almost the same amount of albums as a Korean boy group that just came to Japan following the Hallyu Wave. =/ Complete change of PR strategy is called for.

yeah, she needs to come back to tv-shows. she needs to interact with people, she needs to make people think that she is a normal person. but she portrays herself as a super-rich light-headed party queen... I don't think that majority of common people like it here in Japan. they'd rather support a young next door girl(a la AKB48), than someone who's reached everything and lives in another world of super-rich people.
tbh I feel like she is a bit afraid to go to tv nowadays. I watched a video of recent LIVE show and I really felt that she's just forgotten what it is to be a normal person with normal salary who can't afford a 15,000 pound jacuzzi. even if she goes to tv, I think she needs to prepare herself. she's just beyond Japan, I think. she surely needs to go worldwide.
