Why don't you post the sales of Ami's post-Sony career

[Britneyfan09]

The Blacklisting of Ami Suzuki

In September 2000, Suzuki Ami filed a lawsuit against her management AG Communications. She did this in order to get out of her contract with them because the president, Yamada Eiji had been involved with a tax evasion scheme. Suzuki and her parents felt that filing the lawsuit to nullify her contract was the best thing to do, because this potential scandal could have a negative impact on their daughter's career.

However, AG Communications did not want to release Suzuki from her contract, as she was at the peak of her career. Though the courts agreed in with Suzuki Ami, her career was effectively ruined. Later on the Suzuki family had desired access to AG Communications' financial records in order to determine if the company had been properly compensating Suzuki (for television appearances, photo shoots, magazines, endorsements, etc). AG Communications refused the request to reveal that information, so the Suzuki family went back to court; however, they were denied this motion.

Even though Suzuki was free from her contract, no one would touch her. They were afraid of repercussions and backlash by those who she filed the lawsuit against. At the peak of her career Suzuki became blacklisted. The only release from Suzuki during this time was a best of album, "FUN for FAN".

Sony Music Entertainment, however, did not drop her quite so quickly — her contract with them ended in December 2004 (Suzuki and Sony Music had been negotiating the termination of her contract prior, which had been mutually agreed upon, as Sony Music felt they could no longer effectively promote her music, given all the negative publicity). There were a few valid legal disputes, mainly surrounding copyrights for anything she had written, but both parties finally reached an out-of-court settlement in November 2003.

I'm really surprised she has been selling less then 10,000 in Japan (her latest singles less then 5,000 ). Her singles do no impact anymore. I really wish she would come back big in the future, but I know it won't happen. I really love her, and she will remain one of my favourtie j-pop artists ever, but she is in the shadow of so many female j-pop artists now.
