Ayu is busy no doubt, but Arashi is much busier yet they are going to be doing at least some tv promotion.

I don't think Ayu should have to promote like she used to. She's been there and done that and deserves to take things a bit easier.

^ And Ayu and Arashi are in completely different situations so why even bring them up?

That's true, however there is still 5 of them

They're five guys who don't even sing live or write lyrics or music.

Not exactly comparable to Ayumi.

Just to clear up some misconceptions - their concerts are mostly live, they do write lyrics and music (sakurai and ninomiya mostly) but of course not to the same level as other artists (but certainly more than most boybands). but of course music is not the only thing that entertainers are concerned with. have you seen a monthly schedule for each member of arashi? I`m surprised they haven`t died.

Bottom line is i think things could be getting promoted more for Ayu`s single but they just decided not to and not because of `busy` reasons. Arashi really has nothing to do with this, they are just the most convenient example of people who are insanely busy still working in the time to promote. I think someone hit the nail on the head when they said avex have maybe given up on trying to appeal to a wider audience.

I'm not an Arashi fan, but that is one big unfair false statement.

I understand where Sunshine was coming from now, but comparing 5 people to one, and that one person actually writing everything she does, compared to Arashi who I haven't seen every single live they've ever done but the fact that they don't sing live many times on MSta, etc., and that only some of their members contribute to some of the writing of their songs-- I think that's an unfair comparison and is the only reason I said that, which after all does have truth in it, or at least an exaggerated truth, but not a "big unfair false statement."

I want to say that if it's Johnny's, we know that maybe 60% or 70% of the time, they are not singing live...

Anyways, of course that they are doing all these shows, but I don't think you can call them "singers", because they are a group of talent who does singing, acting, radio, etc, while Ayu is solely focused on music, so I don't think that you can compare how busy Arashi is to how busy Ayu is, because they do two completely different things. They are also obviously not known for their great singing voices and profound and moving lyrics... so... but Ayu is not known for her funny and interesting shows... so it balances.

i'm sorry, but from what i understand in your post is, you are saying they NEVER sing live and don't do anything, except recording the songs, which is quite rude and false.
In that case, your post is toooooooo exaggerated and irreponsible.

yes, comparing 5 of them to one ayu isn't fair. but if we were to compare the amount of work of ONE of the member to ayu? They are not just doing music, they have other jobs too, any member can be as busy as ayu, or even more busy then her. No one knows, so we can't assume.
Do you know that acting in a drama takes up the most time? well, some of the members are actors too, and it's unfair to compare them to ayu, i would call them entertainers, while ayu is a singer. They are doing more tasks then ayu if you were to count what they are doing.

please think before you post.

People shouldn't talk about things they don't even know about =_=;
Arashi are the busiest persons in Japan by now! Sure, they don't write all their lyrics (well, they're IDOLS not artists!), but sometime they do (and Sho writes ALL the rap lyrics), they're promoting a new single, working on a new album and the new tour (the biggest tour in the Japanese music history) and they also have 3 different tv shows EVERY week and dramas!
Now, Ayu is definitely busy, who can deny it? But saying Arashi are not comparable to her.. =_=;

And just to let you know.. yes, they usually lip-synch in tv shows but they don't do it during concerts! Their concerts are always about 3 hours and half long and for all that time they keep singing, running and dancing. Even under a HARD RAIN!!

I'm sorry, I don't mean to attack you but people always says tons of bad things about Arashi (and other idols too) without knowing them and this fact always make me sad and angry because I know how great they are and how much they work.

That's all. In the end, I just wish both Arashi and Ayu could take a rest sometime ;_; I'm so worried about their health. ;_;
