and the good news about him in the pv, i have got 2 THSK fans who asked me to help them order the CD+DVD, TA version, as they find that ayu's covers is always nice and they would like to have a big sticker of it too.

Under the spoiler you can see crossroad preorders at amazon.jp after the news was released Jaejoong would be in blossom PV.

I first thought about passing for buying this single too (waiting for her next album), but I'm going to preorder it now Some Japanese THSK fans I'm following on twitter are going to get it too

And this is from an a-nation fanaccount by a JYJ fan:
"We were able to hear ayu hamasaki’s live performance of “Blossom”. During ayu’s song, I tried to imagine how Jaejoong would look in the PV. I know that it would be lovely to the eye."

Below is the archive of Ayumi Hamasaki’s pre-sales rank of her single ‘Crossroad’ in amazon Japan from August 19th – August 28th.

[see picture uploaded above by aura~]

"Crossroad"s highest ranking was at 156th on August 20th before any info about Jaejoong’s appearance in song ‘Blossom’ revealed. However, once the information about Jaejoong’s participation was released on August 27th, the sales boosted up to 5th on August 28th, the next day.

Coincidence? Kinda hard to believe it was, since the rise is too sudden and extreme.
In any case, we all know Ayumi Hamasaki is still the most recognized J-Pop Queen.

Toho fans respect Ayu
I think my prediction from yesterday seems to be right! Why do we really need to worry about the covers and Kuu? Maybe the Tohoshinki-related involvement in one of Ayu's content must have boosted her pre-order sales! We don't need to worry about low sales - she's going to easily get #1 and get her 24th consecutive #1 single, tying Seiko Matsuda's record, and puts it as a stepping stone for the record-breaking 50th physical (51st overall) single that could be her 25th consecutive!
