Unfortunately, the industry has changed to the point where CD+DVD do not sell in volumes anymore. I don't think it's Ayu's fault, as I have not seen ANY visually impressive PVs across any J-pop artists nowadays. There's no money in PV making, and so they pulled back on those investments. People aren't buying albums as much, so booklets also suffer. Since Ayu is such a visual artist, a lot of those arts are now lost due to industry changes
