I don't think it's really fair to say that (at least anytime soon) because wouldn't we have to wait another 6 years after [A Best 2] to see which one sold better? or compare their first week sales or something like that? You can't compare an overall 4.5million copies of [A Best] over 6years to a month, year or whatever of sales from [A Best 2]. This is a wait and see time of thing.
As for Koda Kumi, I think the same applies. This could be her "prime" right now, or maybe in another year or two she'll hit the top. But you can't compare the present day ayu to koda. If one day you want to see who was the most influential, popular, best-selling, etc. you're gonna have to wait till they're both past their prime.
She really is popping out release after release but isn't this what Avex did to Ayu at one time? Make her pop out stuff month after month. So it could be koda trying to get attention/steal spotlight or maybe it's just Avex squeezing all the money out of her (like they oh so loooovvvvve to do). She might not even have any say in whether or how often she wants to release. But who knows.
That dog part? ... yeah... but rich infamous people can do whatever they want. pretty much. I mean the dog thing might be annoying but i've heard worse on tv. I remember hearing on lives of the rich and famous or w/e that some artist has an assistant tie their laces for them, and even adjust the room and bath temp. for them. It seems ridiculous but hey~ they've got money!
