^ this.
A bus driving around Tokyo is probably not going to be worth it as her fan base sells her CDs.
It seems like every release we get this 'omg ayu not promoting enough' but this is a smart marketing decision by avex and its not going to change anytime soon. there is no point pouring money into heaps of promotion when:
1. her fanbase is what's generating her sales; and
2. she is guaranteed the #1 spot if released on the right day
And think about Ayu. What do you think she decided? She probably likes it this way. Only thing that annoys me is that they don't bother sending PVs to music TV channels earlier - the whole point these videos are made is to promote the song, so use them.
I think the only time avex will ever promote the hell out of her releases is if she is challenged to the #1 spot eg. Mirrorcle World single.
