Actually it is the only reason, specially when they are 2 albums and not just one.

I don't think so.
If exile release a remix album it would sell more than 100k...

also guilty sold less than secret..also asia tour 2007 sold less than arena tour 2006.. ayumi is no more the most popular artist in japan.

Not the most or as she used to, but she is still very popular
As there aren't a lot of other female artists that sell like her or more
Let alone that she still performs more than 20 performances in huge arenas for a tour and the tickets are selling out like hot cakes. Well ASIA TOUR 2008 had 8+ added performances because of demand
And she is still the 1st/2nd most earning artist/female artist in Japan every year anyway and one of the best selling
Her single just outsold 2 (and maybe 3 soon) of her 2 recent years single.
Not the most, but still. Awesome for a female artist/artist after 10 years.
Almost all can't achieve such things.

u're right but I think only blind people can say that ayu now is as popular as 2-3 years ago.

^ So true!

There are tons of female artists who got noticed and their popularity was short-lived, in that case and IMO, I can call it "one-hit" wonders.
Its very VERY rare for an artist to have that huge recognitions and miraculous achievements that can earned through performing.

And BTW, is ayu-mi-x 6 already phased out in the charts?

she starts to lose popularity after memorial address for me

But MY STORY sold more than Memorial address
and the RMX WORKS were released before Memorial address not after...

And there was MY STORY classical which is a classical "remix" album and sold more than the RMX WORKS series (and was released after MY STORY).

I think that everything proves the point that remix albums aren't hot anymore, since 2003 already and the fact that more than one that released in a day make the sales even lower.

I don't think that if EXILE would release one it would do amazing but most likely a bit more than ayu-mi-x 6, specially if it's just 1.

In any way ayu-mi-x 6 sure brought some profit for avex. Small invesment, decent sales, good profit.

as if they would have to shut down from poverty tomorrow.

I think ayu-mi-x 6 sold very well considering the very mediocre material.

Well they don't release things for no reason/to lose money

oh, I wouldn't say that. recently, there was a report that avex' profit went down due to their high costs. I guess it's because they have to put a gazillion PVs on DVD each time and spend a lot for promotion. cd sales aren't that profitable as they used to be. most money income is from digital sales today, because the distribution is very cheap.

ayu-mi-x 6 is mainly for fans and maybe that ayu gets a bit more club rotation. it's not so much about the money as about publicity and diversity.

[Lee_Hamasaki]

i'm not sure...we can see 6th and 7th day of mw^^

i love avex

[perfectodub]

i think ayumi is a solid international artist (asia) now.
all the number sales mensioned here comes from japanese chart...
what about the sales around the world?
