They said 'consecutive singles project' well it would have been consecutive had they not announced any kind of special plan. I mean its not like they could just random number hop and declare that she has broken all records because they are labeling her next single #1,000,000 and declaring its her 1,000,000th single even though they haven't made #49-#999,999 yet. I mean if they're not gonna be released over the course of like 3 months or w/e then this whole thing seems really stupid and pointless and they should have just not announced anything but that she was having a new single named MOON/blossom and just pushed crossroads and single #50 out very soon afterwards.
It's probably just plain old marketing. Lumping the 48-50th singles together and calling it a project will get everyone hyped up and ensure sales for the 48th and 49th. Those 2 are the cruxes when it comes to whether she can break the record, not the 50th. 50th is THE big one, people will get that for collection's sake, 48 and 49 don't have that push. Which is probably why avex is making them ride on the 50th's wave with this project.
