Look, just because her singles aren't selling as much as they did in 2001, that doesn't mean she's going to "fall off her pedestal". Good things don't last forever. She's been at (or near) the top of the Oricon charts since April of 1999, she can't stay there forever. It's not like she's going to die or anything. She's doing just fine.

Besides, you're being too negative. You're pointing out the bad things rather than the good things. She's won the Best Jeanist award five times in a row as of this year, and she doesn't have to compete anymore because she's in the Hall of Fame. Isn't that an accomplishment? Yes, it is.

It's not like people are going to stop loving her music. You're just being WAY too negative and comparing her current sales to the ones back in the Duty era.
