Ayu's house has been renovated?

[Suteisi]

Well hey, celebrities have mansions with 100 and some bedrooms in California, why can't she get a 5 story house in Japan? No big deal xD It's not like she can't afford it anyway...

yes and they even said ayu is moved to an apartment in ropponggi which cost 1000k yen per month while her house is renovating

and her actual house even cost 100,000,000 yen

Lol I doubt it, and I don't think 100,000,000 yen is enough for a 5 story house XD.

"I heard" is exactly why you shouldn't believe it. Japanese stars make far less compared to American stars. Her estimated income for 2002 was 9 million dollars, which was close to her peak in 2001.

She still makes a lot of money with commercials, her tours and cds. But I don't think she's anywhere near being a USD billionare.

[Halla]

it's hard to estimate ayu's income, but i'm pretty sure what she gets from her music sales is not that important compared to what I'd image she makes off her merchandise & tours.

I'd estimate that one commercial endorsement from Ayu is worth at least 1 million US$. the pay for doing commercials in Japan is so good that plenty of western artists/celebs do them too. for many j-celebs doing commercials is their main source of income.
There's an article about Yu Yamada on Japan Times that estimates she makes 300k-500k US$ per campaign, and while she is very popular (not her music tho lol) I think Ayu would still be in a completely different league than Yu.

Also I'd imagine that Ayu's been given shares to avex at some point when she was making 40% of Avex's income. it's all just speculation, but it's very common in the business world to award the key people in your business some shares to make them stay & commit to your company.

XDD

After all she's still a girl

If it's true then I can totally imagine her walking through Tomoya's rooms with the construction workers giving orders like, "Throw away that box of useless original Beatles-vinyls", "Make a shelf for my Gucci sunglasses out of this old mahagony hi-fi unit", "Burn his bed" XP~

Go, Ayu!

[MissElin_]

Haha I kind of wish its true.
What a funny way to own your ex.

LOL, it sounds like a total insult to Tomoya, man! "IN YOUR FACE!!" is the message she wants to send across, I guess. XD

and so does namie

This is really old tabloid news. Coincidentally, I saw the original article yesterday while browsing Japanese tabloid magazines and it's from December 2007. There didn't seem to be a follow-up story, so it may have been a slow news week.

[amorphose]

Are there even any pictures of her house? I always wondered. I've never seen the inside or even the outside of any JPop singers house, but American pop stars flaunt their houses all over the place.

TeamAyu message no. 220

About the recent rumours of my very expensive house that I almost can't afford (laughs)...
Don't forget to buy my new single (v^^;; )

Imagine if that happened xDDDDDDDDD
