Why are Namie Amuros sales so high?

The truth is Namie's LIVE STYLE 2014 sold (155,024) almost 10 times of ayumi's PREMIUM SHOWCASE 2014 (16,318), so did Namie's previous live concerts (you can check it yourself). Japanese people are not that crazy when they did come to her concert more than once and then buy the concert disc once again just to enjoy her her dead boring non-quality concert.

Sales show popularity, and pretty much just that. Other than that, I'm pretty aware of Ayu sales (and that she still one of the biggest touring acts in Japan, only behind Namie among the female soloists), bringing the numbers over and over again will convince me of nothing regarding Namie's quality as a pop star.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with everything Primavera said.
