Hello , 1st of all welcome to AHS & so glad of you to finally come onboard the JPop music bandwagon !
I try my best to answer the questions you've posted
=======
1. Why is all the comments/likes/dislikes disabled on her official YouTube channel?
This could be avex's doing or probably Ayu requested her staff to do so . Other Japanese artistes do allow comments/likes/dislikes to be posted on their YouTube accounts
2. Why does she not have a 'Vevo' I know quite a few artists don't have one that are well known. But it's still odd to me when someone as successful as Ayumi is. Is it to do with her label?
I'm not sure but as what you've said , it could be avex not wanting to create a Vevo for Ayu or it might be something Ayu didn't consider
Some Japanese artistes do have Vevo accounts like BENI
3. Why does she release a lot of her music videos on her official YouTube account shorted? Is this because she wants people to buy the DVD/Blu-Ray releases that come with her albums?
Yes and in the past that never happened . It's the Johnnys groups that started doing that some 8 years ago . Prior to that , the record labels don't really release short PV versions of their material so you can blame the Johnnys on it , LOL
4. Why in the late 90's did J-Pop artists release portrait styled single covers?
No idea but now that you mention it , it was probably coincidental ?
5. Why are none of her songs on Spotify! Is it to do with her label?
Possible but at least her material is sold online via iTunes Japan
6. What's a good price to pay for "A Clip Box 1998–2011"
A CLIP BOX 1998-2011 is costly be it DVD and/or Blu-ray format . I didn't buy it when it was released so price wise I can't comment
But if you never own any albums/singles of Ayu that comes with a DVD/Blu-ray , A CLIP BOX 1998-2011 is definitely a release worth buying especially since her old PVs still stand the test of time on why back then she was such a force to reckon with
