Ayu's one of their big hitters but definitely not the biggest anymore like she used to be. avex is no longer putting all of their eggs into one basket. EXILE was clearly the artist that gave them the edge over competitors, moving such ridiculous sales and generating ridiculous amounts of revenue. I guess it was a given with that whole 3 best album strategy...on top of that they will go out with a bang by releasing a "best" best albums which includes all 3. Clearly avex was milking EXILE the past year. In '06 and '07 it was Kuu. I wonder what this year will bring.
