Nothing new.
And I think people are beginning to lose interest in hikki because she releases so slow and her singles are no longer quite as radio-friendly as they used to be (even though I loved "Passion" and "Be My Last," the drop in sales hasn't really been all that surprising to me), but that's just my 2cents.
Anyway, thanks for explaining the "theory."

What sounds more just to you? A pattern in huge decreasing sales after a best release for a large amount of artists or your blabbering theory? 'Oh that song wasn't great', 'Hitomi's already old'. Well Ayu's released really horrible songs too, and they've sold well. The B'z/southern all stars have been around for 20 years, yet they still sold well when they were hitomi's age (in the industry).
