I'm also sure that with TV/magazines it's easier to get to wider general public audiences (not by huge amounts though).
Unless if it would outsell Sunrise/Sunset. XD
How do you know that?

I've said it a few times before. Most of the people who buy this single are going to be devoted fans, a huge percentage from Japan would have attended one of her arena shows this year and heard MOON. Bam, you got a whole bunch of sales right there.

Magazines/TV promotion is the promotion WE see. It doesn't mean the regular joe is going to go buy her single. I really doubt the sales would have been affected much if she did a cover or two.

But you are right, Sunrise got a lot more promotion. It had TV lives, full PVs, a tie in, billboards and magazine promotion.
