and i guess it's counting the sales from a complete, right? since it was charting in december still. + ayu's tour dvd, and her singles sold more than kumi's.

That's such a cute picture of Kumi!

And I think you're right, I think it's from all of Asia. Otherwise, I don't know how she could pull that figure off...

greaaaaaat achievement!! congrats ayu!

[pommy48]

ayu is amazing <3 and congrats to kuu too!

[se7entheaven]

300 million US dollar? isn't that crazy? oprah doesnt even earn that much LOL (about 254mil). I love ayu. Ganbatte !!!

[TeddyGrahams]

Now Ayu needs to marry me so I can have that clunk of income. xD

[Meat Pao]

Woah I want her money! Must have been the money earned from the NEXT LEVEL USB

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

just wondering.. how come ayu is higher than kuu? didn't trick sell more than next level + kuu had the whole remix and duet album going on? :S

Oricon doesn't really report the sales from all the stores in Japan, plus Ayu's singles sold better than Ku's

Good to hear that both of them made it to that list~

[AyumiBest]

So many boybands, so much money and so little women. Congrats Ayu and Kuu!

[murasakinohana]

woah.. she's RICH!! ^^ *wonders if i can get her to transfer some $ to my account*

[Calico]

Wow that's...holy cow...so much money...no wonder she shops til she drops.

And with how namie is doing lately, i wouldn't be surprised to see her on this list too in the next couple of years.

[KarenPang]

great article of ayumi

congrats to all who're on the list , inclusive of KAT-TUN & ARASHI

[jiarongisme]

Awesome! Thanks! Kinda shocking to not see Hikki there. But anyway, yay!

[roanmy]

Good for Ayu! =D

As for Hikki; I agree it's a little strange, but her singles doesn't usually sell that well, do they? Plus, she has little DVDs, CMs etc.

Seeing how she's only released This Is The One during the time I don't see what's shocking LOL

[AyuGAME]

that's a gross that she got for company not her real income
maybe she just get 10% or more from net...

[noidea]

^ I doubt ayu only gets 10%, she has too much control, usually you get AROUND 10% for singing, 5% for writing lyrics, 10% for composing the songs, 10% for arranging and the rest goes mainly to the producer and the company, but seing how ayu is in producer position for many things, i think she gets at least 35% and got even more during I Am... period

[PinkShinigami]

Saw this yesterday. ~ayu on the top again~

[chloeM]

wow... a good news~
