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).
I would not have said it better ! Wait & See =)
