I think it would have been enough if she filmed more PVs, I think 1LOVE is a bad PV choice. Momentum is good, since I believe it would work as a single quite well, so is JEWEL, but I don't like 1LOVE, I think Kiss o' Kill would score a lot more attention, it has a really catchy chorus and is more generic of a rock-song than 1LOVE (which has a lot of tempo changes).
And PV is the perfect way to have a song promote the complete material, without spending money on a single release, what is always followed by the risk of charts failure.
Also, you need to remember that re-cut singles are almost non-existent in Japan, since they're not new material (they can be remixed or have remixes included, but that doesn't seem too helpful) and thus they don't do well on the charts, while they still do need specific budged to be released (Daybreak was a re-cut single, it reached 'only' number 2 on Oricon - I wrote 'only' becouse it's technically not a bad position at all, but it broke a string of consecutive number 1 singles, if not Daybreak, I believe Ayu's current consecutive no. 1 singles count would have been like few numbers higher).
That way, re-cut singles are not too much of attractive products. Original singles are indeed - but the more singles before an album release, the less new material on the actual album, and thus the less attractive it is to a potential listener.
So... it's better to not release too many singles, but instead - to assure proper promotion - just film PVs for TV rotation and release radio promos for radio rotation - this way you don't spend the money on single release+promotion, but you still have songs playing on TV and radio.
