Think about it this way... A good Japanese album in Japan will sell 2-3 Million copies, worldwide. A good English album will sell in excess of 10 million. And for those who complain about Britney making so much money, her first album sold 24 Million copies worldwide, which is nearly 3 times the amount the highest selling album in Japan sold. Her last album (GH:MP) sold 5 Million worldwide, which isn't exactly great, but is still at least twice the average Japanese album.

THat don't make sence!!!!!

i don't think it is possible, it think they had tried to cheat in order to pay less tax(including AYU) as tax in JP is heavy
No doubt EXILE and orange range made a lot of money too, but the list from Sanspo is only female singers. I found some data for a few male singers (check first post); they all made over US$2million.

really! I don't see any exile or orange range people on your first post!(there are only B'z,SAS,Mr.Children and some actors, i guess you put them in the wrong title,because some of them you posted is not singer, they are actor) the verison which i have read(not the one i posted,i read the one which include male singer) don't have exile and orange range(in top ten),
http://www.mainichi-msn.co.jp/geinou...40118000c.html and http://www.asahi.com/national/update...160293.html?t5
anyway, thanks for you remain. but still, i think they had tried to cheat to not pay 1/3 income for tax

Fek me, Utada made shed loads. I'm shocked. Her album totally bombed in America, and in Japan it was just... selling good I believe.

i DON'T understand how Hikki made so much! Omg! Her Exodus had crap sales in America and her singles collection + exodus were just the normal million sellers in Japan. That shouldn't have earned her that much. Anybody has an answer?

orange range is still kinda new, mayb sony wont give share that much money to them yet, plus it is a 6 member group n thy have to split it into 6...the chart only gives the names for individuals n not for groups....that jus means that each member earned less than US$2M

Thx for making that clear. It always seems Hikki is the top female in the past few years or so.

Hikki composed all her songs and wrote all the lyrics...
she also did the production and arrangement of the songs...

so she was like pay 5 times more than other artist eg. namie amuro

hikki : singer+composer+lyrist+producer+arranger
ayu : singer+lyrist+composer
namie: singer+lyrist


but..i was shocked to see namie's income higher than nakashima mika's ...
namie only release three singles in 2004...

good in number but grrreat in ranking.. and there is also the multiple pay for her multiple roles as others have mentioned, plus her successful concert with minimum cost and the earnings form the Nintendo contract.

Hikki is classic example of a great product coupled with great cost control.

it goes to show you that the best in the Japanese Business can be manipulated by thier producers....

Honestly, I think Americans are more closed minded, because when you look at all the songs that made it onto a chart, only a few has a foreign language in it! Americans like us think that we're the elite being on the planet, and doesn't need to go back to our roots and see what they have to offer, they just want to jump on the bandwagon and take what only America has to offer. I might be wrong, but the only time a full foreign song was on a Billboard Chart was Kyu Sakamoto's Sukiyaki, which was over 40 years ago! After everything evolved, you barely hear a foreign language on a mainstream radio, may be even nothing! Only Hawaii i think has foreign stations on our radios, Hawaiian(duh) and Japanese... Americans need to realize that other countries have great things to offer... I mean, American artists aren't the very best in singing, because of the technology nowdays, you can "morph" your voice to sound better, like Britney Spears. She sounds great in albums, but get her in a live, she sounds horrible! Also, a lot of American artists just don't have the versatility to sing different ways, e.g. ballad, upbeat dance, blah, blah, blah... like Hamasaki Ayumi. Ayu has one of the widest and best sounding range of songs, from "INSPIRE" to "Forgiveness"... and it also seems like American artists can't keep up with thier demanding fans like Japanese artists... American artists usually boom for a year or two, then slowly slide into oblivion... while Japanese Artists like Hikki can keep up with the charts, Ayu can win the SAME award (Japan Record Music Award) 3 years in a row... it's amazing how radically different these two industries are, and how radically different paychecks are... I think that Japanese Artists more than 3 times the amount that American artists get because of thier consistency and how the keep up with the demands, unlike American artists....

Just my opinion....
