I would say that the main reason for the looooooooooong delay was Tales of Xillia. avex probably wanted progress to be the first thing out after Love songs, but since the game wasn't coming out until late September, about nine months after Ayu was announced to be attached to the project... this ended up being what we got. The earthquake in March might have also played a part in it as well.

I've always felt this way too when people bring up Ayu's sales. I think "who the Hell IS selling better than her?" because I always see her releases come out on top even in the yearly reports. But we have yet to see the sales for FIVE and I am just bracing myself and think others should do the same.
