Most of her public, most people people from her core market are into this kind of music, and there's no way she will stop pleasing her to start pleasing the 15, 20 western people that buy everything she releases after finding her by chance on the internet.
Most of the people on this forum is not part the group who buys most of her stuff, and going after us would most likely destroy her career for good.

I think people who are in her core market are gonna buy whatever the fuck she puts out. This is the shit she releases that has potential for mass appeal, whether you're a "fan" of her or not. It's a given that her "fans" will listen.

That's a really nice thing to say, because she does stand for great things, but it's the fact that she was able to spark such a fire within me, the fact that she was able to make such a huge impact and impression on me BEFORE I became more aware about who she was and what she stands for, that made/makes her great. The moment someone makes such a huge impression on you, when you have absolutely no obligation to them, have no knowledge of them, or any other pre-determined factors affecting the effect you're experiencing - that speaks volumes.
It's like if you're child does something. Paints something, gives you something, etc. You love it - you have a genuine love for the subject matter and its a genuine emotion - but it stems from the relationship more so than the subject matter itself.
I still love Ayu, but damn it was really a trip when I loved her for what she stood for AND for the material itself. When she appeals to both of those aspects within my mind, that truly is a marvel.
