I think the internet has a great impact on traditional record sales. Avex should commercialize the online sale of her songs, and videos download just like the Apples' iTune and not putting follish strategies like the CCCD and such.
"I am..." sold 3 million. Avex is currently working with Apple iTunes Japan so I guess they can make even more $$$ of mp3s. Anyway, CCD is now entirely the artist's choice .

Yes, Ayu used to be 42.6% of Avex....but that was when there were no other major avex artists. Shareholders hated that since Avex stock would climb and fall according to what is happening with Ayu. When "I am..." was delayed....eek to avex .
