That's for sure. But that's not too hard either.
Is this sarcasm?

Honestly, I think finally things are really starting to catch up with her and really negatively effect the sales.

There is of course the condition of her voice and all her relationship soap opera dramas. But I actually think more than anything, this time its that people are fed up with so many releases and Avex' strategies. A lot more people are seeing through Avex's strategies these days - a few new songs and cheap PVs are not worth the price of a mini album. Memorial Address was so amazing because all of the songs without exception were A+ master quality kind of material and you could see the effort put into the PVs.

These mini's should never have been mini's. They should have been singles. To succeed as mini albums, all the songs had better be amazing with great PVs as well and that is just not the case. Although I do think again is at least better than Love.

I think so too! if they made them singles, it could have been better. but as 'mini-album' they aren't much worth the price, and they don't have any special things like bonuses coming with them or just something interesting that could you make you buy them

To be honest I don't think there is anything wrong with the songs. The PVs are pretty bad though and she should work on her lyrics a bit as they are getting repetitive kind of the same as her PVs. I do agree that avex is halfassing everything though.
