How about the cost of going to Los Angeles to record the song? There's also got to be some split between avex and the stores (i.e. stores receive X yen per copy they sell) When max was talking about the budget of 'fairyland' PV, I think he wrote something like normal PVs cost like ~30 million yen? True, digital downloads haven't been included but ringtones cost around 1/10 of a physical CD and a song costs around 1/3 of a physical CD...

Which means BoA's singles have a really small profit ? x_x
