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.
that what i want to mean, i hope nobody is misled. orginally, a singer's income is not mainly from CM and tour, is form the copyright of selling, the copyright of creating(original copyright) , copyright of producing, copyright of singing and copyright of writing lyric/song. (in ayu's case, income only from CM or tour.)

the amount of money that can earn is :copyright of creating(original copyright)>copyright of selling>copyright of producing>copyright of writing lyric/song>copyright of singing , unlucky, AYU WON'T get the money of the first 3, AYU ONLY CAN get copyright of singing and copyright of writing lyric/song which is very little compared with the first 3, that is the reasons why AYU earn so LITTLE(she should earn MORE the HIKKI).

WHY this happen? It is all because AVEX, AVEX is the ONLY company in japan that own 100% copyright of all songs, products etc. that is the reasons why people dislike AVEX soooooo much, ALL artists that work in AVEX don't have the copyright of songs( NOT even 1%). in contract, HIKIKI and B'z have 100% copyright of their songs, so even they don't release any CD(eg.B'z), they even have MANY income from copyright.

AVEX is a very bad company , it cause AYU to have only that poor income, I really want AYU to change to another company(however she can't, because she is 100% possessed by AVEX in the following few years, even she change to another company, she can't sing)
