And what's the point of a discussion board if everyone says the same thing? Five hundred posts of people saying, "OMG I PRAY YOU SELL A MILLION AYU! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!", is not discussion, it's a mindless spewing of words.



Yeah, I do think 800k could be a possibility. The sales were surprisingly good nonetheless, even at the current numbers.
I'm sorry, but I think you were just trying to be rude.

The thing about it is that you could've phrased it like: "She is probably not hitting the million guys. Sorry." instead of saying that the idea / whatever is stupid.

I mean heck, what if you said that and all of a sudden she sold a million or something? Right now the pattern is a LITTLE bit off from MY STORY's (it seems so anyway)~ Eh. I'm over it. lol.

Oh, and as for the sales.. I think whether or not A BEST 2 was released in 2007, sales wouldn't have changed. tbh, I think that this was released in order to boost her earnings for the year.

But then again she has some hugeass earnings so far. I'm gonna calculate it right now.

Mirrorcle World's "sales":
Quote:
Total Sales : 193,016 (Japan)

Total Sales : 253,209 (Avex)
Just to be "accurate" I'm gonna use avex's numbers..

MW profits: 367,153,050 yen

ASIA TOUR 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~'s "sales":
75,905 (so far)

AT07 profits: 382,561,200 yen

ayu-mi-x 6's sales:
88,585

ayu-mi-x profits: 221,462,500 yen

COUNTDOWN LIVE 2007-2008 A ~Anniversary "sales":
74,485 (so far)

CDL's profits: 375,404,400 yen

A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLE's sales (so far):
538,876 (so far without the first day of the 2nd week)

A COMPLETE's profits:
2,317,166,800 yen

GUILTY's sales: 568,288

GUILTY's profits:
2,028,788,160 yen

Holy crap.

Total revenue gained so far for 2008:
5,692,536,110 yen = 53,840,007 USD = 38,070,999 EUR.


For any releases with two versions, I added the versions and averaged the two prices. It's INSANE how much she makes. And she only released one single!

3.66 BILLION YEN.
