It's her DVDs, haha.
I kinda wish she'd try to gain new fans somehow, but I think that's probably not on her agenda at all. The only way I suppose she can sell a loooot more is to have a groundbreaking ballad or summer pop track that people won't be able to resist downloading/purchasing~

^ I have no idea where they get the numbers from, but at Generasia they cite Sunrise as selling 530,000 ringtones & 250,000 + full song.

With just over 750,000 safe to say Sunrise was a summer song hit? I don't know if ringtones are indicative of song popularity, though? Any experts on digital sales to enlighten me on this?
And yes, I know Ayu grosses more, but this isn't about profit, it's about album sales. Ayu also tends to release about four times the versions Namie does and I imagine she rakes it in with tour merchandise.
