I think the exile franchise incomes are redistributed to the artists from LDH not for acts like Ayu, ELT, Koda Kumi, AAA, etc... Avex definitely has no new big name at the moment.


On a side note Ayu concerts are still far from looking cheap. They might be less elaborate but they are more suffering from real concepts behind them still it concern really only the last two tours IMO.
EXILE has declining sales, but their subacts and solos haven't (the #6 selling album of last year with half a million sales was a EXILE subgroup).
Overall you're right with the very big sellers being from other companies, but avex and its sublabels have a big amount of artists in the yearly Top rankings.
