The opposite can also be said.

But I wasn't saying anything critical about Namie at all. I was comparing two artists who have performed in both large arenas, as well as small hall tours. My only point was that her tours scale much more easily because she doesn't have the big show that Ayu does with an intricate stage, and tons of dancers, background singers, etc. It was all related to profitability of a hall tour and how I think Namie's overhead costs are MUCH lower than Ayu's because of all of those things, and for her, hall tours are probably hugely profitable because of that. For Ayu, even though I'm sure she's still making money, it's probably more of a significant drop for her in terms of time investment vs. profit.
