Why I think Ayumi's sales have fallen...

Maybe if Ayu were on another label, but I just can't see Ayu =/= on avex.

I agree completely.

I think everyone can also agree that record sales are just NOT what they used to be, even in namie and utada's respects. I'm not even trippin' on record sales. I'm not worried about ayu's financial situation. Besides, doing tours is where its at. Tours generate reeeeeeeedonkulous profits. Especially ayu tours since this ***** sells out arena's and has been on tour 98% of her adult life.
