Avex has always been hungry for money, but now I think they are desperate for it. Their golden age is long gone. They no longer have any artists directly on their label that are huge sellers and that now includes ayu. Namie and exile are part of Avex, but I think the majority of sales goes to their management companies like vision factory. Avex used to have a lot more hot sellers as part of their main roster that were also directly under avexs management.
