^ producer credits means thats who is paying for it to happen, or at least finds a way to pay for it; a better definition from wiki:

A producer has many roles that may include, but are not limited to, gathering ideas for the project, selecting songs and/or musicians, coaching the artist and musicians in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire process through mixing and mastering. Producers also often take on a wider entrepreneurial role, with responsibility for the budget, schedules, and negotiations.

I'm trying to find the article I read about how concert venues work however and I cant seem to find it, but an artist (or company) buys out the place and then sells the tickets themselves. When it says that it's produced by Ayumi I would think that means she does it herself... if avex puts in some money then they would get a cut as well, but I don't see why she would do this.
EDIT: but I did forget to mention that you are right, it varies from artist to artist... a relative unknown could not do this alone and would need help, but when you are ayumi hamasaki, lol... you get it.
