With the merchandise issue, it's not something that's unique to Ayu . It's really just Japan and their overinflated media prices. (anime box sets are 40,000-50,000yen, CDs of albums are 3000yen on average, DVDs/BDs/video games are 6000-8000yen, etc.) Korea tends to have things at much more reasonable prices with strange packaging and lots of bonuses because otherwise they may not be able to get consumers to purchase things there. I always hear they have issues selling physical versions overall even for popular acts over there despite the low prices.
