Well, she released a video for Easy Breezy. She released You Make Me Want To Be A Man in the UK as her first single but it didnt do well, it debuted at number 227 even with some coverage and an expensive PV which cost 500 000 Dollars. IDJ are to blame, they didnt supply the CD to stores. Devil Inside and Exodus 04 were also released as singles in the US but they were only radio singles. Devil Inside did very well and went to number 1 in the hot dance charts.

She also released short clips for the tracks from Exodus. They are called Fluximations and they are all manga/anime styled animations. If you want them, don't hesitate to ask. The fluximations are for Opening, Devil Inside, Exodus 04, The Workout, Easy Breezy, Tippy Toe, Kremlin Dusk and Hotel Lobby. They are exclusive to handphones in Japan with a special attribute, but I have them all in my computer, WMV format.

In Japan, she released Be My Last and it broke records for the Most Digital Downloads. It sold poorly however, with 150 000 copies so far. The CD and DVD only featured one track, not even an instrumental was there. Her next single will be Passion for the game Kingdom Hearts 2, it will be released on the 24th of December. Ayu beat it flat with HEAVEN which sold more than 300 000 copies and is destined to break Fairyland's sales. Heaven shocked everyone on its release, it didn't debut at number 1 in the daily charts. Instead it got number 2. But it soon went to number 1 and the weekly charts also displayed number 1. Info on Heaven and Be My Last is in the News section.

See, lots have happened...
