Yes, but more people will hear it when there is less competition. Thus, waiting to use it until she's gotten to at least the third or fourth round makes sense. If they put it up the first or second time, less people will be likely to listen because few voters are actually going to watch the video for every single artist- they'll just pick whichever one they like best by default. I don't doubt that it will be put up there, I just think it'll be put up during a later round, assuming she beats Ayu.
And yay for the tie!

Edit: Scratch that, Utada's winning by SEVEN VOTES. :D

EDIT2: OH MY GOSH. I'm sorry. I didn't realize they use the SAME song every time. That IS ridiculous! "Easy Breezy" is the dumbest choice ever. Now I'm angry and I feel like an idiot. I apologize. -.-
