Ayumi Comes out on Top Again!

Been a while since i did a Hamasaki Ayumi related blog! 

Today while I was eating lunch, I looked through the Apple Daily and was pleased to see this article:

步姐封07賺錢女王Which basically says:  'Hamasaki Ayumi is the top earning female star of 2007'.

To put this in context let me explain a bit:   Hamasaki Ayumi has been the top female JPOP star since about the year 2000... a relatively unprecedented reign as the top star in a business where most female artists have a relatively short shelf life. (the road is littered with the corpses of short-lived 'queens of Jpop').    The last few years people have been predicting that she her career is in its twilight and she will soon be replaced by new artists as #1,  particularly recently with the rise of Koda Kumi (who is a bit more on the 'Dirty' Christina Aguilera end of the scale... ie hootchie mama).

But Ayu managed to deny time one more year and pulled out a top ranking in earnings for yet another year.  Koda Kumi's album may have sold more copies this year, but w/ Ayu's greatest hits double album release she managed to make more $$$. 

Here's the rest of the article in chinese + the ranking...

誰是日本藝能界的賺錢女王?昨日出版的新一期日本雜誌《朝日藝能》根據唱片、

拍戲、拍廣告等收入,推算今年最高收入的20位女藝人排名。近年唱片銷量激減的

濱崎步,憑豐厚版稅收入仍穩坐一姐寶座。緊接其後的師妹倖田來未靠接拍彈珠機

的廣告外快,被看好明年大有可能趕過步姐。

唱歌出碟向來是藝能界賺錢最快的捷徑,今年女星收入排行榜的頭1、2名,均由兩

位女歌手包辦。位列冠軍的步姐今年中宣佈與舊愛長瀨智也結束7年情,隨即火速戀

上光頭型男經理人。雖然步姐近年唱片銷量無復當年勇,但憑豐厚的版稅收入,加

上她今年舉行的多場亞洲巡迴演唱會,令她以4億日圓(約2,800萬港元),穩坐收

入一姐寶座。事業愛情兩得意的步姐,除了每年除夕夜例牌舉行的倒數個唱外,並

宣佈於明年元旦日推出第9張大碟。

紀香反彈入榜

至於有「日式豬扒王」之稱的倖田來未,以3億5,000萬日圓(約2,500萬港元)屈居

第2位。出碟頻密的倖田,除了唱片版稅外,今年又推出個人嘜頭的彈珠機,令收入

大增。雜誌更看好她若能繼續保持人氣,大有機會超越步姐,成為明年的吸金女王。

至於以拍劇及拍廣告為主的靚太黑木瞳及女星仲間由紀惠,憑健康形象深得廣告商

重用,以1億3,000萬日圓(約910萬港元)並列第3位。

剛於上周訪港的性感女星藤原紀香,年初與諧星陣內智則結婚後,婚後人氣反彈,

成為廣告合約搶手貨。令失落收入排名榜多時的紀香,以8,000萬日圓(約560萬港

元)重返第8位。相反,以往經常位列收入榜前茅的松菜菜子,今年因懷孕而曝光率

大減,令她收入急降,僅得6,000萬日圓(約420萬港元)排在第12位。

石原年輕有為

在新一代青春女星當中,今年20歲的石原佐美爆冷與紀香並列第8位,成為唯一打入

十大的U22(年齡22歲以下)青春女星。至於失落於紅白司儀的長澤正美,今年收入

有5,000萬日圓(約350萬港元)排在第16位,而「黑面女神」澤尻英龍華則以3,000萬

日圓(約210萬港元)收入排在第26位。

步姐雖然今年繼續成為藝能界賺錢一姐,但早前盛傳佢因為獅子開大口而嚇窒製造

商,令嘜頭彈珠機胎死腹中。若明年收入被師妹倖田追過,就真係冇晒面喇!
