Hm, I don't think Kuu is ever going to be really popular again.
She is a similar package like Namie as an artist, but her character is pretty much the polar opposite of hers.
And flashy and progressive characters like Kuu's just aren't trendy at all at the moment.
Kuu also seems to be happy with where she is now. Not to mention that she is quite critical with (Japanese) society in her songs in recent years and I don't think she ever wants to fully bend to that pressure again.
I do think she might gain more attention with the general public again now, but that will probably only be reflected in higher streaming numbers and more concert attendees and stuff like that (like her viral Tik Tok hit this summer).
But of course I could also be totally wrong.

By the way both Tokyo dates are officially sold out now.
