The figure quoted in the first post is correct. I think what yamogi means is that Ayu would have earned more money in 2004 if she had released an album. As it is, she only released 3 singles in 2004: Moments, INSPIRE, & CAROLS. MY STORY came out on December 15 so the income from that will appear in her 2005 earnings.

The major source of her income, even in years when she was releasing more CDs, is product endorsements.
