[News] Ayu has the highest earnings of the year

[extepan]

ummmm that's very good news! i wish ayu shared some of her money with me.

[AyuGAME]

i think with that amount of money in just one year, i can rest up for the rest of my life without working anymore...haha

[Dgirl]

congratuation to her!

Omg it saddens me unbelievebly how Ayu's pretty much getting paid welfare wages compared to Western artists who don't even sell nearly as much as she does. Or work as hard as she does..

It doesn't really sadden me. If we think about these social issues, there are people in this world who work (insert ayu salary here) times more than ayu, and even if they spent 1000 years working, they wouldn't still get that ammount she gets in a year. Sad, but the truth.

That's so true. She's rich enough and has money to buy her clothes and travel around. She's probably happy enough about that.

im sure those reports left out her product endorsements, those added up would totally surpass the reported earnings she has

WTH? I'm totally sure there's something wrong with this, where's Hikki?? She has a killer contract and she did sell a whole lot of singles and digital downloads this year.

A single which sells 650k copies and costs 1,200 yen will not pull in nearly as much money as two albums which sell 700k copies and cost 45,000 yen.

Yes, but Hikki has her copyright royalties and her insane downloads.

For Utada Hikaru, it probably will. Just look at her past earning, even in years she did absolutely nothing she was still, by far, the top earner.
