thx for the news & translation
Ai Otsuka didn't perform? does this mean they've figured out who's second in the "avex hiearchy" and it's miss Koda Kumi ? ooh the drama ~
I think a large & extensive arena tour coupled with a new album are the only thing Koda Kumi could do which could make the Avex stocks shift a bit.
also it seems they've really trying to hype up Satomi Takasugi
