AYUMI HAMASAKI
DOWNLOAD DAY 2010
~July 1st~
A WORLD IS ONE

information forthcoming

It's truly a shame that Ayumi Hamasaki tends to neglect her western audience in terms of performances and releases. Now, this is not done as an act of disdain, but a label's lack to see the global support is large. The only true way to win over the label - Avex Trax - is to show them strong sales throughout all the markets that they've tested. This can be achieved by a "Download Day", which is exactly as it sounds. This "Download Day" could pave the way to all sorts of things. However, the ultimate goal is likely unanimous in the collective conscious of the fan: To get Ayumi Hamasaki -- potentially the world's greatest pop-star -- to tour and release physically on a global scale.

Once more I repeat: This can only be achieved by showing the label that there is enough interest to pursue these financially risky and commercially appetizing endeavors.

So..What is a 'Download Day'?
A Download Day is a given set of time (usually but, ironically, not always just one day) where fans or supporters of one particular act buy a specific song from that artist for a whole slew of reasons. These reasons include boosting a chart position (or making it chart), increasing artist or label revenue, which both lead up to the artist or label start thinking about the commercial or fan-related gains it could see by promoting in the area which may have garnered high downloads.

When is the Download Day?
Monday, June 28th through Sunday, July 3rd.

How can I help?
All you need to do is buy July 1st in whichever country you have access to legal downloads in. For example, a person in the Unites States would likely use the iTunes store or maybe Amazon MP3, among other. You can buy the song for yourself, or you can gift it to friends -- the more the better!
