Well, I'm not that big a fan of many of BeForU's avex stuff either, but remember that they did get into the charts anyhow (just not that far or for that long). Also, avex does happen to produce music for some of the biggest names in Japan. I mean, come on; Ayumi Hamasaki, BoA, Namie Amuro, Koda Kumi, m-flo...the list goes on.

Avex's marketing department isn't very good, they are only interested in promoting the big bands and singers like Namie and ELT.

I no longer like Koda Kumi after I heard Ayane's voice.

Let's hope she isn't poached or else Bemani is going lose all their great singers and musicians. They have already lost BeForU, and DDR won't be the same again without them.
