I don't know how much the lack of promo actually has do with it or not. Its true, I live in Tokyo and if not for AHS I wouldn't even know she had an album coming out. But the same could also have been said about FIVE and that actually sold pretty well for a mini album.
I think there are other reasons beyond promotion that are making even some of her fans not want to buy it. For one, the covers. Even the two more clothed shots don't look that appealing. Then there are the PVs that are at best OK. Two of them are actually terrible imo. Then there is the album itself. On first listen I actually really liked it, but now I find that there aren't very many tracks on it that actually really stand out and are memorable to me. I still like the album, but there is just nothing about it that is making me go "I must buy this now!"
