I believe she can have a sales boost once she goes from "old act" to "vintage act", she wouldn't be the first or the last to have a revival on popularity. This generation still is the one that came after her peak, and one generation tend to dislike what was loved by the past one (this is also why she is aiming to people over 25 lately). This is not something solved by clever marketing or releasing the right songs. Also, putting your face everywhere on a phase you are mostly hated is a very stupid idea.
But is also pretty common for the 2nd generation after the peak to go after the stuff the past generation hated. It's not a coincidence that people like Madonna, Kylie, Namie, Yumming needed almost a whole decade to spark significant new public interest.
Do I believe Ayu will ever go back to her A-Best like popularity? Never. On the same way Namie never overdid Can you celebrate, for example, but there's a chance she will have significante sales and popularity boost near the end of the decade (2017, 2018, 2019).
