progress and You & Me could've also easily been regular singles with a few remixes or double sides. Party Queen could've had singles as well. It's quite obvious that avex is trying to avoid releasing singles. Considering that after the 50th single they haven't released one in 2+ years.
well but those were not 3A and 4A singles being thrown out every month. 2A,1A,3A (50th being the main reason why it was even 3A)..calling it a mini just justifies that there should be more material than a regular 1A or 2A single and that there would be more PVs with the material...

and yes, i too agree they do not want to sell singles to break the record. but what im saying here is just another way of looking at things and probably how they justify their way of selling. Furthermore, saying that someone released 2 mini albums back to back, just feels more impressive than releasing 2 singles
