I don't buy singles I buy only albums and DVDs.
I got ayu's CAROLS single because my japanese teacher (when I studied japanese in private lessons) bought it to me when she was in Japan (I didn't ask her to get me anything though, she surprised me, she was really kind!).

The only musician I purchase singles of is Utada Hikaru. I just like collecting CDs from my favourite artists. I used to buy heaps of singles all the time, Western and Japanese.

Well, for me it depends on several aspects.
First, the artist! If it's an artist whose music I love always (Hamasaki Ayumi & NEWS ) then I just pre-order the single. I listen to it the first time after it's delivered to my home. If it's an artist that I'm just a fan of or an unknown artist, then I will preview the single.
Second, the content! After previewing the single, if I like it, I'll go to the online shop and see what's included in the single. I'll look at the price, the number of songs, and the cover. The major factor for me though is if I like the any of the songs on the single. If I do, then I'll pre-order/purchase.
In addition, if there is a poster bonus, and I'm a fan of the artist, I'll buy the single. I love posters!
Lastly, collecting. This is self-explanatory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ironically, I used to never buy singles. I always thought them to be a huge waste of money. However, nowadays, I buy more singles than I do albums. Ha ha!

I only buy singles for the b-sides/ remixes which aren't going to appear on the original album.

Either to support the artist, or because I just want to collect everything, or because it's one of my favorite songs and I want a token to represent my love for it. Though, if the cover sucks, I seriously consider not buying it, so I guess that affects me too...

If the cover counted for me, i'd already had like 30 Ayu singles by now, she has some of the best single covers.

2 reasons:

1. I'm obsessed with the artist (that would be Ayu and Arashi, LOL!!!)
2. I'm obsessed with the song (but that doesn't happen too often since I don't listen to many artists).
