I don't think the comments were that harsh. It was interesting to read. As Pommy said, it seems her divorce and the Music Station cancellation/surrounding rumours are what have affected her popularity the most, as well as just naturally aging of her era, and perhaps not being that young role model any more. One comment stood out to me in particular saying it was her bright personality that catapulted her to stardom, not just her music..and her personality does not shine as brightly any more, at least not in the Japanese media. I guess that rings true as to how she gets talked about now as compared to, let's say, 1999-2004.
