That back in the day only used to be a preview and you had to wait for the dvd in the single Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a song only to be able to sell it for under $2
i like that it's cheaper and more accessible. i don't think i would've even found out abt ayu if it wasn't for streaming LMAO

also i imagine it's easier for the artist to get their music out, rather than having to wait for the CDs to finish printing and hoping there isn't a production delay to get the album/single out by the announced release date, you just click a few buttons and your song is readily available to everyone around the world!



that being said i do like owning the physical copy of a release, so it is kind of a bummer that ayu isn't releasing CD singles anymore... i would've loved one for Summer Again
