Ayu is laid back, it doesn't make her less of singer/performer, it doesn't make her worse, or Namie worse, but she's laid back with her career and she uses little resources, plus she's conservative, quite, with her releases and music type. and it makes her appeal not-so-much to the young. she hardly even appears in mags, so she's simply not that relevant. her sales are still nice for her zero promotion, in my opinion, due to the huge fanbase.

i kinda agree on that. I can't say though that what Namie does music wise is very innovative, even for her she just rolls with what actually sells today. AND I'M NOT SAYING IT'S BAD. Ayu is into experimenting once in a while but tends to go back to what she's known for. Both of these chicks to me are basically doing the same thing, the only difference that i can see here is in the quality of marketing and side stuff like PVs, covers/packaging. Namie is more around, she even has magazines when she's not releasing anything much or she does CMs. Ayu, if we're lucky, does a couple of mags and an occasional tie in every now and then. The last time she really was going on with the CMs when was that? lol she hasn't been in those for ages! Apart from that one vitamin drink or whatever it was a couple of years ago. Even aid all that i think a lot of it goes down to good old simple luck! It's really difficult to put a finger on what makes artist's career go bam again. *shrugs*
And lol at people arguing who's good singer who's good dancer. You want people who can ACTUALLY SING? Go listen to opera xD You want to listen to music and see someone dance really well? Ever heard of ballet or dancing troupes? xD EXACTLY. Those who can actually sing will have in the past went through professional training, same with dancing.
