If you want ayu to have the sales of Arashi and other boy bands, Avex have to invest way more money to get better tie ins (it's avex job to help promote it, and no DBZ evolution and tinkerbell crap) and Ayu will be releasing songs like days 2.0, sunrise 2.0 etc etc. Do you guys really want more days and sunrises (digital hits)?
Otherwise, I'm happy with the sales. If anything, it should be praised for consistency.

Well, no need for avex to try to get tie-ins, we're already standard Japanese songs from Ayu... the 47th-50th singles have nothing "special" or different except Last angel; the lead songs are all typical J-Pop ballads, so we're still getting the standard songs from Ayu.
I mean at the end of the day, we've to realize where Ayu stands in this industry today. No point whining that her sales suck compared to her past when it obviously isn't her prime or era now.
