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.

Out of the other three though, Otsuka Ai is really the only one who could be any kind of competition... But her sales lately are really low and her new single is a re-cut so there's really no competition for her either.
