[News] Ayu has the highest earnings of the year
 

「朝日藝能」雜誌以現今曰本演藝圈當紅女星為主軸，統計推算出年此份年收入排行榜，結果前兩名均是歌手，濱 崎步以4億日幣(約合台幣1億1600萬)稱后，她靠著豐厚的唱片版稅傲視演藝圈；第二名的倖田來未也有3 億5000萬，除了版稅收入亮眼，今年更投身小鋼珠機臺市場，如果唱片銷售能繼續維持，明年很有機會超越濱 崎步，成為吸金女王。

前兩名都是女歌手，以1億3000萬日幣並列第三的黑木瞳與仲間由紀惠，都是以廣告和戲劇為主。另外在新生 代女星群中，石原里美的8千萬日幣勝過長澤雅美(5千萬日幣)、澤尻英龍華(3千萬日幣)等，由於其所屬的 「HORIPURO」是採月薪制，由此可見石原里美正快速在**演藝圈成長，也證明曝光率高並不代表賺的多 。

Rough translation: With regards to the earnings of female celebrities in the Japan industry, Ayu currently top the list with an earning of 400 million yen this year. Koda Kumi came in 2nd with an earning of 350 million yen. If her current sales could continue, she will have a high chance of surpassing Ayu next year. 3rd place are namely Hitomi Kuroki and Yukie Nakama with earnings of 130 million yen.

YAY!!! CONGRATS TO AYU that she can get number one position again...YAY!!!

wow! lots of shopping money for ayu!

+random holidays to hawaii and LA etc....

what a life style....maybe she needs a luggage carrier boy...

You think the ASIA tour was really that profitable? Koda kumi has released quite more and had been very tour-active year...

Roughly ~2,400,000€

Not bad :)

That's surprising! I mean her sales haven't been as what they have been in the past and yet she still comes out tops? Must be the A Nation goods and her tours! :D Oh, and her having more influence in Asia.

I think although Ku-chan is tour active this year, I think Ayu fans are still much more crazy than Ku fans! I'm still back to the same argument, I believe Ku is the "top female artiste of the moment" but then Ayu has a more established base. Maybe that's the reason Ayu still earns more.

I knew that ayu is the most profitting artist of the year.
After avex trax released this issue about A BEST 2 project being the most entering project of the year, it's like umm duh? XD
After 9 years and ayu is the most earning artist of the year... wow.
The ASIA TOUR brought a huge profit as well it seems.
Even hikki's digital sales aren't appearing as so much money proffiting...

Considering how expensive A BEST II is and how little cost it take to produce the compilation album, this is no surprise and kumi is now putting up a good fight :P thanks alot by the way for the news :D

Thanks for sharing. Very close to Koda!

i guess if ayu didnt spend so much in her LV products in HK during the ASIA TOUR, she could have saved more!

Yeah!
Ayu is the BEST!

Guess her tours I'm not surprised though the fact that people think Kumi will reach Ayu next year is odd. Her sales are sliding and I'm suspecting next year they won't improve much.

Great for her!! Probably Together when... will help..

What's the source of these numbers though? Japan's tax agency stopped giving out numbers since 2004. (Those are the most reliable)

yup, so great!! oh our Dear Ayu's the best :X

thanks for sharing ^^
YAY!!! GO AYU *cheers*

WOOOOOOOW! :thud I wanna be a singer to :laugh

*runs to sing lesson*

wow Ayu works hard so she deserves it!!
I wanna earn that much money ^^

Releasing million singles by year I can be as rich as Kuu :rolleyes Yay for Ayu! It proves how she's the best :yes
