^ I believe I already answered those points in the last thread about this about why I believe some (if not all) of those artists streaks to have more validity to them.
But yeah, you are right that Fukuyama got scared of Kanjani8 as well and changed his release. (which I also wish he hadn't done) Basically, I just want this whole system to change, lol.

So, if she were avoiding say, an Utada release date you'd be against the release date change then?
As for the cheating of numbers, there are actually several people that think that has already happened last year.
Ayu will have the two CDLs to boost sales now. But now though it seems that Oricon will not count concert sales because the propensity of record companies to cheat is too large. Or is it just sales from handshake events and the like that have been banned? I'm not clear on that.
