The whole debacle can be read in the old Oricon threads for MW. Most specifically this one: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72515
(yes, I actually go back to read through old threads to learn the details about all these big Ayu-debacles)

If you look at MW's first weeks selling figures you see that they go really high the last two days. And that was thanks to the concerts (AT08) Ayu had that weekend too.
But Ayu not beeing on the a-nation broadcast. What did her promotion staff think of? Didn't they think of the fact that it might boost up her sales figures since both blossom and crossroad appear... Big fail...
