I always hear they have issues selling physical versions overall even for popular acts over there despite the low prices.

This is true! My friend from Korea said the value of a won is atrocious. But at least with TVXQ Japan stuff, you get a postcard lol~ I'd be extremely happy if Ayu included something small like that. It would give people a reason to buy even if the release blows without shelling out $70 for the CD+DVD or becoming TA.
