(one was late late night and the other sometime in the early morning I can't remember.)

The movie doesn't come out for another two weeks in Japan. Dragonball is a huge franchise around the world, so I wouldn't be surprised if the movie studio decides to start promoting the movie left and right within the next few weeks (at least in Japan, anyway; we'll be waiting another few weeks before that happens around the rest of the world).

But, no, Avex really hasn't been doing any good promotion for the single, but we all know that's because she's been recording songs and filming PVs. I honestly think this single is just for the fans - we're obviously the ones who know the most about it, and honestly, as long as some people buy it and like it, I'm sure Ayu will be happy. She doesn't need continuous #1 singles (though that is a pretty awesome record).
