Pretty sure that's an avex decision...all of their artists probably get it from a single factory with an avex contract.

Sure, because Ayu herself is the one who chooses where and how the goods will be made...

I hardly think she even decides how the goods will look like (she most probably just approves the ideas presented to her and sometimes gives a general idea of what she's thinking), let alone who's gonna make them, probably she doesn't even have a clue of where they're made.
