well that happens to all artists, not just ayu.
as for the leakage, it possibly could help the album sales. i mean, if ppl hear it and like it they mite buy it. (of course it could the reverse. if ppl dont like it they dont buy it).
as for the internet DL thing, personally, i think that the japanese have a different attitude towards internet DLs. for one thing, its not as rampant as lets say, korea. albums are still selling well, singles are still selling well. that shows that DL isnt taking a significant chunk of sales away like many of us believe it is. it mite be happening in other parts of the world, but i truely think that this factor isnt as big as it is in japan.
