Actually WANDS declined when Show Wesugi left the band, but I think it's normal that a band loses 50% of the fans when is the vocalist that is replaced.
About sales..well it doesn't mean that Kumi with her next single or album or whatever can't go up again..every artists have their ups and downs and now for a solo singer sell like 800,000 it's IMPOSSIBLE, time change, sales change...look at Namie..she has a decline time but she is going up again.

Ayu's promotion on 2001 was even worse than Kumi's, just check out how many releases she had that year (about 26 mega maxi singles, even thought they are considered singles, remix singles, release of her "normal" singles in mega maxi singles)
