it's not like people sit around and say "hmm, let's see who has lackluster sales right now and give them the new AMAAAAZING tie in." companies are in it for the money too. ayu being slapped onto every brand doesn't necessarily mean cash for the company anymore. in fact the majority of commercials in japan right now don't feature many singers at all. it's usually models, actors/actresses and tarento.
*sometimes* the songs are actually really good and that more than just fans buy the single. i mean, all tie-in's do are play a small preview of the song. most people don't sit around thinking "oh ayu looks so pretty wearing that makeup! imma buy the single!" "that's a cool car...let's go out and buy the single~!" it's "imma buy the makeup/car!" people buy things that they like now and what they feel is worth the money, with or without a tie in. people didn't buy sunrise because it was sucky, not because it had lame tie ins. likewise, the b'z single was purchased because it had good songs in it. and also, they do still use radios here in japan *sarcasm intended.* it's not like people depend on tv's to hear song previews. *btw, i'm speaking in terms of CM's, not dramas. people's emotions are played up in dramas and so a link is formed between opening, closing and insert songs and the characters and story which cause more of a sales increase. and i'm also not saying CM's don't have positive effects on songs, but I mean, it's not the sole reason things sell.

Here is another person who just went to the cinema to hear Rule, lol. I didn't like the movie U_U.
I was thinking on FNS... It is in 10 days, isn't it? Ayu usually goes there every year, and in the list of guests Ayu doesn't appear. I suppose that they will be putting ayu in the list, but, why this delay? Maybe avex is still planning their advertising strategy? You know, You were.../BALLAD is being releasing on 29th, almost a month after FNS, they might don't want to show the song(s) so early because it could get tired the public to listening to the same song along a month. So...do you think ayu will be singing any new song in FNS?

^ at this point it's really hard to say anything, considering the tradition of her performing a new ballad, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Can someone translate this news? It talks about Ayu doing the theme song for Tinkerbell's movie, it's from Tinkerbell's movie official site. It talks about a CM? : Quote:

Well the Google Translation was pretty accurate and understandable, but that article isn't saying anything new. The Recochoku/mu-mo distribution does start on 25th November though. I didn't really get the TVCM part xD

楽曲は「ティンカー・ベルと月の石」のTVCMで１２月中旬からO Aされます。
I think this means that from mid-December "You were..." will be played in the TV commercial for the new Tinkerbell movie. (..If O.A means "open access" anyway xD) The rest of the news just talks about how Ayu is honoured to make the theme song. And that the people who requested her to do it, feel Ayu is perfect to perform the theme song for this movie, because she spreads 'power' to those around her like Tinkerbell does. |

I really don't know how good or bad the Tinkerbell tie in is.
Cause outside of Japan the Tinkerbell movie is just released on DVD and nobody without little children do care about it. I love Disney, but I'm not excited at all about this tie in.  A big Disney/Pixar movie with an Ayu song would be great on the other side.

Maybe this tie-in opens the door to another and bigger tie-in with Disney  .
