What are public relations for if not for that? They could clean her image easily by making her release a charity song for the earthquake striken areas, or visiting Africa, or doing whatever.

The thing is that Ayu produces her own stuff, so she probably doesn't let anyone handle her stuff... and that's where she's wrong. Or right, to her standards.
She doesn't care about what she puts out there anymore. And of her own tours, all we see is her getting married and getting divorced, her firing Maro and her appearing with a 25yo guy AND GETTING MARRIED AGAIN.
Maybe it's some mid-life crisis and maybe she just cares more about not being alone than anything else.

But I don't see how anybody could see this incursion in the charts as someone's who still cares.
40k might be "good" for solists nowadays, but you cannot deny she could have done much better if she wanted.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years she releases a documentary and says this was a mock single or whatever to see how many people buys it.
Public Relations don't have godly powers... Ayu actually did more than any other big act during the earthquake, from her endless tweets to help locate people or to pass information foward, the big donation, changing her whole release pattern and the Vivi collab... People called her desperate for attention.

And nops, she most likelly wouldn't sell "a lot more" of her singles... Her sales aren't that different from artists of similar size... Most acts selling tons of copies are idols. Last year, the first time a single that wasn't either a boyband, a girlband or associated to the Johnny's appears on the year-end chart is at position 30. The first time a solo effort that isn't associated to the Johnny's appears is at position 39.

And really... why are people on this forum so obsessed with her personal life? Usually we know nothing about it other than the name, age and nationality of who is she dating.
