If Koda wins, she will be the almight singer who broke Ayumi Hamasaki record, and they will make Ayumi role as the company image smaller, what is useful for them cuz they are being forced to bet almost on the same horse since 2000... A horse that is losing appeal with teenagers and that is not giving 40% of they profit in a long time now...

ayu did bring more profit (at least overall sales) in all of these years (maybe except for 2006-2007).
ayu is their most profitting female artist for 1999-2005 and 2008-2009 (and might be this year as well).
She is like one of the top selling (overall) artists every year.
They are still riding on this horse since it's their best bet.
