Her first non Top 20 single was in 1995 so it wasn't "overnight."
In 2014 Akina sold over 150,000+ albums with her original best album going to #3. This year in January she got her first Top 10 single since 1993 that is still charting (and should outsell Zutto by the end of it's chart-run). She also released a cover album that debuted at #5 and is still charting as well.

Nothing I didn't already know (and nothing I said contradicts any of this really, although I can see how incorrect conclusions could be drawn from my post), I just didn't feel like going into that much detail since I was only trying to give a quick summary. But thanks for your clarifications on behalf of people in the thread who don't know Akina
