Don't forget the goods and the stuff that they buy too! That accounts for A LOT of the revenue. DVDs are obviously more expensive. So if you really factor in the costs, that would cost a lot! It's good though to release DVDs, because fans who haven't managed to watch the concert can watch it, and well, the smaller pool of die-hard Ayu fans can collect the DVDs!

And since it's an ASIA TOUR, I'm pretty sure it'll sell better overseas too like Hong Kong, Taiwan and China! I think overseas fans tend to value and treasure Ayu items more than the Japanese do. But I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's because her overseas fans aren't in direct contact with her that perhaps they are more attached to Ayu items rather than the Japanese, who would look upon Ayu as less "exclusive" than her overseas fans, explaining perhaps the lower sales of her DVD. It has always been the case anyway.

Yes, i agree, you make great sense here. Well, japanese fans always get to see ayu and this has been going on for close to ten years. Many had already seen her live at least a few times so i guess only fervent supporters will go an extra step in purchasing her DVDs. And yea, probably concert dvds have a higher chance of selling better in overseas as they ''cherish'' ayu more since ayu doesn't visit her overseas fans that often compared to japanese counterparts.
