Yeah, Avex didn't really do her any favours to the right age-groups. Bands/singers that appeal to the 11-18 year old range do the best in Japan right now, and with her tie-ins, it would of made her get a stereotype of being a boring classical singer..it's a shame.

I think alan knew this and decided she was going to give her all to China, rather than being far away from her family all the time and juggling her career between seperate countries, and not getting huge hits in either.
