Wow, I think that just means they're more out of the loop than anything, lol.

I doubt it's because she's hated... but moreso because she's seen as 'not fresh' in this day and age. What I've seen is that people are okay with Ayu, it's just that they have other artists they really like nowadays. The Kana Nishinos, Ikimonogakaris, AKBs... they're all in atm. Though how long they'll be in the spotlight really depends. Most people who have even stood a match against Ayu's popularity among those who DO still listen to her have fallen off the face of relevance. (Ai Otsuka, ORANGE RANGE, etc.)
