But we have no idea how much her other videos cost or how much they spent on Hikki's videos (a lot, probably). Even Waterfalls from TLC, as people already said in this thread, is suppose to be on the list.



No, they don't. The rumor about Kuu was that AVEX pay her very little because she made them lose lots of money in the past, because they spend lots of money promoting her but she wasn't selling enough to repay. So now she exploded but she still get much less money than lots of other artists...

It's the record company who pays for the video.
8. "Unpretty"
Cost: $1,600,000+
Artist: TLC

While their video "Waterfalls" was technologically more groundbreaking, "Unpretty" ended up costing more because the group argued over every little detail (almost doubling the projected cost). The story of the video starts out with women in a plastic surgeon's office contemplating breast implants, but they somehow get involved in a gang fight in a back alley. All the while, TLC sits on these weirdo floating pods while doing yoga chants. Nobody said these videos have to make sense . . .


Floating yoga pods: $60,000
Field of purple flowers: $50,000
Laptop computer animating breast enhancements: $63,000
Flying robot camera: $35,000
Hairstyling: $11,000
Makeup: $25,000
Costumes: $11,000

Ayu's pretty high on this list if she were in it.

I only know that Hikki's You Make Me Want To Be A Man was around 500 000 dollars. It was mentioned in some article. But surely Traveling and Passion would have cost a bomb. Keep Tryin' too.

well, she dropped from school after middle school, she became a star at a very young age, she was and is the queen of pop music in japan, she can have almost anything she wants, but I believe she wouldn't be that stupid xD


I gotta admit I'd never think Jacko's Scream video is the most expensive video ever made... it looks pretty cheap if you ask me -- even all those sets...

Did you tought of that the state hawaii (does it count at state?) had also to eb paid because of the fire...what if the fire had taken over the trees...It could have destroyed much of the floras & fauna...and I´m sure they had to get the place back to the old situation with plantig new stuff & so on^^

But really say which videos do you think are also expenisve...not only the ones on the list^^

Well yeah, I guess it could have been solved that way. I'm sure they had to have some sort of assurance...
