A lot of the people that normally would have supported both Koda and Ayu, probably ended up just getting Koda's album instead.

If you have been following Ayu's career for a long time it is extremely odd to not see Tokyo, Shibuya in particular, absolutely saturated with Ayu at the time of a single release. So this was just strange to see the total lack of promotion anywhere.
I guess :/

Ayu probably procrastinated on the single and they tried getting it out asap by the time it was done~:p [perhaps the photoshoot wasn't done for a while..?] That could be a sort of explanation for the release of the same day as Koda :]

Or maybe they wanted to see how it'd fare and then base their releases from there, to not have Koda or to have Koda be able to release on the same day as Ayu..
