The answers are quite interesting. Some of them include Maro fiasco, blaming divorce on earthquake, bad vocals, saying that she graduated from Kouhaku when in fact she wasn't selected, Party Queen album, marriages with weird foreigners, etc.
Some say they stopped going to her concerts, because they wanted to see just Ayu on stage, singing properly with her band, but she was focusing on dancers instead and the vocals got worse and worse.

Lots of reasons and that "same old boring sound" bullsh*t that international jpopers always mention as one of the reasons of Ayumi declining sales isn't mentioned by japanese people.
