I actually heard similar things around 2008/2009 and she was still promoting a fair bit then but nowhere near as invisible as now. "You like Ayu? Oh, I loved BLUE BIRD! Ayu was so good. Does she still make new music?" is basically what you'll get.
A wide good tie-in and a run on promotional circuit would get her back in the public eye, but I don't think she even wants that anymore.
Also it's been pretty bad that when people do hear of her, it's because of some drama or something that has nothing to really do with music.
