Yea if you mention that, that's kinda weird when she doesnt perform any song on tv for the album tracks like last year (JEWEL and 1LOVE)
This year is just together when... but its a single and that doenst count

it would be too uncommon for ayumi to release with a lot of bonuses, let alone 16 new vclips + 16 tracks....... the way kingdom pvs are mostly underbudgeted for a vclip..... so I think avex's decision on ayu is still right... its just... she isnt there and she needs to make something special like a huge smashing hits "SEASON" or "M", If she releases one single like that, believe me.. she'll be back and selling like crazy

I think Ayu should re-release A Song for XX this year or next. Or at least re-arrange/release poker face, because it's her first single. I'd really like to hear that as a remade version. I'm sure it will sound awesome. <3

And about what she should do to sell better; release albums as CD Only, CD+DVD and CD+2DVD like Koda Kumi, or make some new themes for TV dramas like Hikki did with her Flavor of Life song. :3 I would like these both ideas a lot, it would work fine.

But I don't really care about the sales or position or her fame, because I'm sure people does respect Ayu even if her sales are less than 100,000 per album nowadays. I think, for her, selling over 500,000 is awesome thing. :> She's not selling as bad as I thought she would be. But she's still Ayu, even she doesn't sell over a million per album like in 1999-2004 she did. ^^

Only a HUGE miracle can make her as popular as she was in 2001/2002, and it's nearly impossible. I guess that if she performed the new song in shows, it would sell a bit better, I doubt more than 20~30 k better tough. I don't want to see Ayu release an album that has more bonuses than actual good songs, those bonuses aren't helping neither Dong Bang Shin Ki nor Kumi to sell much more than they actually would considering their current levels of popularity. Sure it's nice to have a best of album with extras, but studio albums should be about songs, and I like the fact that people like Ayu, Hikki and Shimatani are putting the music in the first place.

no more bonuses. ever.

it's getting ridiculous. I don't want to pay 5000 yen each time I want an album.

and sales are ok at this point. look at what LOVE PiECE sold to date.

If there was a thing I'd like her to do, is a short movie for A Song For XX ~ And then XD, the first part could reflect Ayu's childhood, the 2nd her falling in love and changing her mind, about running away alone, and well it would be nice if there would be at least another one to conclude the story XD. And soo nice to at least release a SPECIAL standalone DVD with newly recorded PVs of the old songs (the ones that had no PV or just the CMs), though that will probably never happen.
