>>16539335How many did she manage to sell, at least 20k? That doesn't account for sales that aren't tracked to overseas etc.
Very roughly, 6 million yen gross. With 12 songs, and a rough cost (ROUGH) of 100k yen per song (averaged) for 1.2mil total
Throw in 10% to cover, 10% per album sold (physical cost of production and other fees) and 10% to the physical stores.
I'd say she 'easily' broke even, even if you doubled the cost to produce the songs and add on the cost of MVs. She probably walked away from it with at least a 100k USD though, and given the costs are tax-deducible, probably doesn't get hit that badly on that front either.
Not to mention that those songs are now good for future Lives, the merch and live etc. etc.
Point being, she's easily got enough cash to not worry about the costs for any of her songs in the forseeable future.
