It sorta helps that most of her music is incredibly radio friendly while what Ayu has been doing recently... not so much.

Namie had a new style no doubt. It was fun and experimental esp during PLAY and it really revived her career. but as for radio friendly, I think Ayu has some VERY radio friendly songs! esp more so in the recent years? Letter, call, Why, Melody, meaning of Love...those songs are so pop and J-POP japanese should love..like BLUE BIRD, Days, Sunrise. Just because they arnt main hits and single A-sides..they get overlooked by the general public and i doubt radio stations play these songs so often. and I guess thats the problem without releasing singles.
