What the fuck is with Avex?
Do they have like, OLIVIA a.k.a. "anything-she-touches-turns-to-flop" heading the marketing?

So bizarre.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

what

Is like they want the physical single to do like crap

[Livey~]

YESSSS and Oh crap.. at the same time..

[truehappiness]

They'll also be selling the DJ Hello Kitty shirts somewhere.

[kendelle]

DJ Hello Kitty will never be not weird haha

I hope they count the music cards for sales as I bought the set of them!!

[truehappiness]

It might be early chaku-uta distribution.

As much as it may damage physical single sales (and as much as I hate the fact) the future is the digital. It's where the money is going, everywhere in the world.
So, yay for avex for actually promoting something smart from time to time.

^I correct you

It's where the money is going, everywhere in the world. EXCEPT in Japan

Japan has now the biggest music industry thanks to CD sales not digital sales, the last ones are actually decreasing in time, unlike CD sales which are increasing

Omg, I've never been happier to be wrong! I love my poor, damn Cds so much and nobody is buying them! I'm loving Japan so much because of this. XD

A sale is a sale. Just because digital releases don't count on Oricon doesn't mean the single can't still sell well. We'll just have to see how she does on both charts.

[Livey~]

And who knows? Maybe buying the digital single in advance could lead to a I wanna buy the physical release NAOOOOOO tendency~

[NintendoHTF1242]

idk why y'all complaining that means we get Merrry-go-round full version faster I ain't even mad

yeah, and I mean, the single isn't going to sell well regardless lol

Maybe they want to see how well doing on the digital charts will translate into physical sales.

this

The news makes me happy especially for that

[adantatu2]

Merry-go-round in Full <3

I'm going to check her digital singles, Namie and Kuu had nice peaks with their last singles in Recochoku

[LEOyumi]

I don't really see a problem with releasing the songs way early on iTunes. Okay, it could hurt the sales and her numbers might look bad yet again, but avex is still gonna make profit from the digital song.
And I can even taste MGR full! <333

[gogirlanime]

the covers are gorgeous but they just scream again and LOVE again leftovers The PV was annoying, one of her worst yet. I think Ayu is losing her mind. I don't like how she is trying to do the comedy PV with a club song like American artists I am a true Ayu fan, but sadly I must say she is slowly losing me.

If only the song and video had been something like Fatboy Slim's Right Here, Right Now... That one was utter brilliance because it knew how to make a punchline.

Strangely enough, I actually see some similarities between the two videos.
