Yay for Ayu! :D

ummmm that's very good news! i wish ayu shared some of her money with me.

AyuGAME 15th November 2007 12:49 AM

i think with that amount of money in just one year, i can rest up for the rest of my life without working anymore...haha

Dgirl 15th November 2007 12:51 AM

ya~ayu is quite good at making money!
congratuation to her!

Omg it saddens me unbelievebly how Ayu's pretty much getting paid welfare wages compared to Western artists who don't even sell nearly as much as she does. Or work as hard as she does..

WTH? I'm totally sure there's something wrong with this, where's Hikki?? She has a killer contract and she did sell a whole lot of singles and digital downloads this year.

Kodayumi 15th November 2007 01:39 AM

ahh congrats to ayu :D

A single which sells 650k copies and costs 1,200 yen will not pull in nearly as much money as two albums which sell 700k copies and cost 45,000 yen.

It doesn't really sadden me. If we think about these social issues, there are people in this world who work (insert ayu salary here) times more than ayu, and even if they spent 1000 years working, they wouldn't still get that ammount she gets in a year. Sad, but the truth.

Yes, but Hikki has her copyright royalties and her insane downloads.

That's so true. She's rich enough and has money to buy her clothes and travel around. She's probably happy enough about that.

and I hope someone doesn't say that she can't because she doesn't accept awards. Your not nominated for this award.

but this is not related to it right? She made the most money this year but that doesn't mean she sold the most right? and the best selling artist award is to the one who sold the most and not earned the most. (Correct me if I'm wrong...lol)

LacusClyne 15th November 2007 08:30 AM

i guess ayu gets most of her money from the concert. singers can a lot of concerts and cms

Ayu on the other hand still has 9 years worth of loyal fans who will make sure that she's still queen :P

Actually, Koda has recently had a lot more endorsement deals than Ayu. Ayu is pretty much only Panasonic now and Morinaga-Weider occasionally. Since endorsement deals are a lot more simple deal than royalities and all that, I'm sure Kuu is pulling quite a nice piece of the pie.

As far as it comes to Hikki, it's possible she denied any kind of inlook to her earnings or even any information that could be a source for estimation.

Since that whole 'highest taxpayers' list ceased few years ago, and while, as I bet, performers don't really go around telling everyone how much they earn, all these numbers must be just speculations.

juunigatsu 15th November 2007 12:36 PM

ooooh yes Im so proud of her! :D:D
