New single 'Feel the love / Merry-go-round' out 12/25 [III]

[Trinu]

The thing is that having a company behind you actually means they can work with that. If you have a bad image, they can turn it around. They can clean it.
What are public relations for if not for that? They could clean her image easily by making her release a charity song for the earthquake striken areas, or visiting Africa, or doing whatever.

The thing is that Ayu produces her own stuff, so she probably doesn't let anyone handle her stuff... and that's where she's wrong. Or right, to her standards.
She doesn't care about what she puts out there anymore. And of her own tours, all we see is her getting married and getting divorced, her firing Maro and her appearing with a 25yo guy AND GETTING MARRIED AGAIN.
Maybe it's some mid-life crisis and maybe she just cares more about not being alone than anything else.

But I don't see how anybody could see this incursion in the charts as someone's who still cares.
40k might be "good" for solists nowadays, but you cannot deny she could have done much better if she wanted.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years she releases a documentary and says this was a mock single or whatever to see how many people buys it.
