Ayu & Avex
I was just wondering how other Ayu fans feel about Ayu and her relationship with her label Avex? Personally I've been dissatisfied for a few years now, they seem to treat Ayu (and Koda Kumi) as cash cows releasing album after album with barely any time between releases which takes away anticipation people have for new material and results in a drop in sales as seen with Ayu and Kumi.
Also it's so annoying that Avex don't get with the times and embrace youtube by uploading full videos and Itunes like most other labels do these days, It's not helping Ayu it's harming her... I discovered J-Pop on youtube but younger people these days are probably missing out because Avex pulls every video as soon as it's posted and refuses to upload them in full on their own channels...
Anyway please let me know your thoughts and feelings, I'm interested to know.
