I totally agree. Good / modern / catchy songs of course play an essential part of that strategy, but namie has had a great long term strategy for a long time that comprises all the key elements for being successful as a music artist in Japan. Some on jpm even commented on how prior to uncontrolled she tried to appear more cute as to appeal more a to a male demographic since most of her fans a female. Ayu used to have a pretty good and creative marketing team but not anymore (the release of the song RAINBOW on an album instead of as a single is one example).
