A trophy for Ayu to put on her wall. That's it.

Charts. Don't. Matter.

Avex wants the money. If ayu's not moving as many units, they have to charge more. If they wanna charge more, they have to call it a mini-album.

That's all true. But still, being in the charts means that you are relevant and actually selling, it puts you out there for people to know that you are doing well and might get them to buy your album, single, etc.

And I wish it was just a fan obsession, but it seems to be an AVEX obsession too.


Personally I'm not worried about chart positions btw.
