I also find it funny how she's scheduled tons and tons of radio interviews next week. They must be thinking they are doing promotion when no one listens to radio in Japan.

But maybe TV performances aren`t profitable?
I mean, nowadays her sales seem absolutely the same with and without TV performances. The CM is airing in TV at least.

A Music Station performance makes a big difference on the digital charts and it also helps a bit physically as well. She hasn't been invited there since Feb 2013 and thats one factor that has caused her sales to decline since then as it was one of the outlets that brought her music to the general public. Music Japan, CDTV, Music Fair these other shows don't make any difference physically but they do give a slight digital boost from time to time.
