I think that she peaked in the spotlight when she was releasing all those singles... people were expecting her to release a CD every month or so and she did, and now that a CD seems to come out about once every 3 or 4 months, to me, I think that her presence has declined quite a bit... gone are the days when you could pick up a new set of tunes every month, or when you could get a single with as many songs as some albums come with, and without that vibe she had, she's gotta do something else then to recover her "share".
y2687 kinda hinted at this, yet I don't think that fans alone are gonna help. There's been a bunch of new artists since Ayu's premiere, and all are slowly taking over Ayu's share, and to rely on her fans to boost sales or whatnot won't cut it. Places like Burger King didn't get to where it was just by selling burgers. You've gotta offer stuff that few places have and broaden your horizons to other things. Just thinking that "hey... I'll release a remix of an already remixed album" won't do, and sure.... not all artists need a CD every monthm but that's what made Ayu "Ayu".... without that, she won't have nearly the impact she once had...
