But I wonder if her decline in sales from millions to 180,000 on Love Songs isn't strongly connected to all the downloads. It's obvious from her weibo follower count that her sales should be atleast 1 million. As nice as Ayu is about it, people should really stop tweeting her about the downloading because all er managers are not as nice and could easily impose fines and jail time.

It probably had to do with that partly(but also with just a decline in fans, she is just not as popular as she used to be), but remember even without downloading not every fan will buy everything I think without downloads she'd probably be selling around twice as much as she does now. Many of her fans are in their 30s-40s, not the main crowd for downloading.
