Just a few examples of songs that became some of my favorite songs after I discovered it as a themesong:

- Anastacia - Everything Burns - Fantastic Four
- Kou Shibasaki - Ikutsuka no sora - Chakushin Ari (one missed call)
- Hoobastank - not listening - Resident Evil: Apocalypse

that's all that shoots in my head right now, but there are probably plenty more. I dó agree that people will only remember it if it's GOOD. people won't remember it if it's bad, so it can hardly mean bad publicity for Ayu. They might remember it as a bad song but they'll forget it's from ayu.
Wow, probably it's just me, but I don't remember any of those.

Furthermore, it's in Japanese, at least for Americans, that puts a considerable distance between them and the song...

Not counting in that they are going to see the movie...for...the movie...

And if the movie does suck, which it probably will, with the exception of Piccolo, people are going to be talking about how much the movie sucked...not how great the theme song was...

This is great because, if the song is great or even decent, it can only count in the positive for Ayu.

It's not like it's a song used for a debut or something. So, really, it doesn't make THAT much of a difference. It's not like she's going to become popular because of it.

The best thing that could happen is, the song will be great, everyone will give it great reviews despite the bad movie, and Ayu will consideran international debut.

She's already considering it. This is just a tiny step forward.

lol a bunch of long posts in a row O_O
