SR has had a lot of other sources of income beyond album sales:
- Touring (good $$$ even with her limited schedule over the years)
- Song royalties
- Publishing rights, etc for her music and songs she's written for other artists
- Merchandise sales (DVDs, Blu-rays, T-Shirts, Flags)
- Fan club membership fees
- Various product endorsements on TV and otherwise
Unless she's screwed up majorly in terms of her finances she's probably financially secure for life at this point. IMHO, you would never have seen Tokyo Jihen disband if that was the case (and they would have had more tour dates than what they did).
