Mari-chan would be a good catch
But you said CM+modeling as major parts of her earnings, what about ricori sales; she even have an own store with her fashion. + You mentionend an own fashion magazine as well, didn't you?

That should give her an edge over anyone on AKB though ^^

-- Mayuyu seems to be pretty low for her exposure level

ricori is just starting up, btw she have 2 stores already in Japan. Business don't have profits for the beginning part, as revenue will be to cover expenses.

Her fashion magazines don't earn much compared to CM and modeling. Like a dollar to a thousand kind of ratio.

The most profitable earnings in Japan showbiz is as followed
- Movies
- Dramas
- CM
- Seiyu (voice acting)
- Modeling
- Solo Singles
- Gravure

Well her business is actually losing money more than making them, self-created fashion line doesn't have that much appeal and sales flow compared to mega brands. 

Mayu got only 1 drama but she isn't even a Class B actress so she don't get the money like Yuko and Kojiharu does.
