Not everyone in Japan is 15-20 years old. Do you think all the people who listened to Yumi Arai in the 1970's and 1980's and 1990's and 2000's just forgot she ever existed?

I'm just picking out this comment to restate what I've posted before. Ayu is not the all-important person that some people seem to think she is. She isn't the center of the Japanese cultural universe. I'm only hoping to add some perspective to this topic.
