It has almost three times the amount of material though.

Tales is a good tie in but it certainly doesn't mean someone is going to sell loads more just because of it. Plenty of artists have had Tales of ????? tie ups in the past and their sales were pretty much the same. The only thing tie ins really do is help Ayu a bit. I don't think she's ever had one that impacted her sales to the point where it was noticeably higher than normal in recent memory.

I'd call the how beautiful you are tie-in to be pretty good. It's certainly her best drama tie in since whatever she had in 2002/2003.
