You serious??? Those are 4 huge female names. All of which have had #1 streaks at one point and I'm sure would still like to get another #1. Geez, that's gotta be really rough on all of them. I mean...Ayu still sells the most out of all of them (I think), but they're all really big. And the fact that there are 4 major artists releasing on the same day probably means that the sales are going to be fewer for all of them. Think about it: say those are 4 of your favorite artists. But you only have enough money to buy 2 singles. So you have to pick 2 when you normally would have bought all 4.
What a stupid idea, AVEX. Are you purposefully trying to stress your artists out?

You know...that'd be a really smart marketing move if they ever wanted a sure #1 for any album or single. Make a PV but ONLY release it in the limited editions that would only be sold for 1-2 weeks. That would make people go out and buy them earlier if they were on the fence about buying it. Because then you'd be thinking, "I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not, but I'd only want it if I could get both PVs. Damn, I guess that means I have to buy it now."
Sure, sales would drastically decrease after that, but they'd be extremely high the first week or two. Would also piss off a bunch of fans, though. Haha.
