There's some truth in what you're saying, yet in some cases even reinventing yourself won't work. Sometimes it's just not your moment and nothing you're gonna do will work. 'Till one thing, maybe, possibly, inespicably, will and maybe you'll get a second peak.
I think Ayu is in that kind of moment of her career. (Even if in the past years her marketing decisions have been mostly terrible, imo, and that didn't help, I suppose.)
