Also, I would say that Hikki sales more than Ayu is b/c Hikki's music is more appealing to the Japanese, let's not forget age factor, and for peak sake, FIRST LOVE! XD That song trumphs any ballad ever made! lol

Well I don't think that hikki's music is more apprealing since she had great and awesome singles on 2005 but they sold a bit "low" (around the 100,000 while ayu's singles sold more than 300,000, so I do think that the majority is the promotion, or release a certain song just at a right time and the tie-ins...
I mean both ayu and hikki wouldn't do well without a good promotion, tie-ins and releasing appealing songs... They're just getting up and down since both peaks were some years ago... well hikki's peak was her first year and ayu's was 2001... kumi's was 2005 so after the peak they won't reach the same (or even close I think) again =\.
Though ayu is the older from them but still doing really good, that is something remarkable, I mean, in 2007 selling almost 2,000,000 single and album copies after so many years for a japanese female artist it's like x_x and she just did an ASIA tour just now and she's still filling huge arenas quick... it's something special xD.
