Yeah, I agree with Emiko - Namie and Ayu's situations were very different. Honestly Namie is an anomaly. I listen to jpop artists from as far back as the 50s and really Namie is the only female artist that I can think of that actually reversed her sales after having a down period.
It's not impossible, occasionally female artists have had a hit out of nowhere after a period of down sales - Like Matsuda Seiko in 1996, but Namie seems to be the only one who was able to sustain a "second peak."
