And with A COMPLETE, they didn't have to spend much other than promotion and the use of a recording studio / engineers for Who... and paying the CD/DVD authors (the people who design / make the CD, etc). Oh, and the trip to Macau/HK or w/e too. However, it's not like it's that big a deal for Ayu to fly her staff over. lol. They got like 3 things done. Magazine shoots, A COMPLETE's shoot, and the 2009 calendar, so in the end it made sense.


So they probably got more profit from A COMPLETE since it's not an original album, right? That makes sense. Even if it was for profit by Avex, I still think it's a decent purchase. If you can dish out quality for less, why not?

Thanks! I understand how it works better
