We know that this isn't true.
Therefore, the sales has decreased to ALL artists.

Imo, Ayu is and will always be an icon in japanese music industry, people can say she's not attracting any new listeners, she's someone from the past. But no one can ignore her achievements and all her influence over these years.
I'm not living in Japan, and even if was the case, I wouldn't take opinions from a bunch of people as facts. If this was the absolute truth, I couldn't believe in how she still manage to sold out many concerts.
Everything don't surpass the mere supposition.
Anyway, I hope people don't think that because an album is less sold, it's more hatred and stuff. "NEXT LEVEL" for me it's one of her best albums to date.

I disagree. It is not an error. I don't mean overall sales either. That should have been obvious. Ayumi releases new CD's much more often than say, Utada or Namie. Ayumi's sales consistently goes down but Utada and Namie's sales fluctuate.
You're not suppose to take opinions as facts. I'm glad you don't. However, observations are not opinions. Like other people here, you are thinking about yourself and not the general crowd. I would hope you still enjoy her music despite lower sales. I loved NEXT LEVEL, by the way.
