SMAP does get a lot of $. but i think the fundamental difference bwtn SMAP n Kinki Kids is that Kinki hasnt "graduated" from JE. ie: on the CDs etc. SMAP cds r produced/manufactured (w/e) by victor, T&T is avex. Kinki is still part of JE directly (their site is next to NEWS') as their cds r produced/manufactured by JE. so probably, once the group has "graduated", the less control over the group JE has- the more $ u will get. when u r part of JE directly (ie: the the younger bunch), the less money u will get. n SMAP does distance themselves from JE a lot as they dont even appear in the annual tokyo dome countdowns
