yeah but putting all the blame on avex doesn't seem to be an illogical reason . It's not as though they never tried to promote gnd when they 1st debuted in 2008
When I became their fan in the very beginning from their debut single Guuzen no Kakuritsu til now , avex really pushed them a lot . They were on a lot of major TV variety shows (HEYx3 , MUSIC STATION & even scored an invitation to perform at Kouhaku) & promo was really over the top
I think it all boils down to the way the public receive their music as well . It's no point having all the top of the line promo in the world but if the public doesn't buy the type of music you release , then it defeats the whole purpose of everything
I suspect avex already knew the guys & girl were not as profitable as they thought they might be , that's why from Freedom onwards , their budget for everything has been scaled down in a very drastic manner & they rather use their allocated resources to other avex artistes that will bring in more financial returns for the company :x
