She's most likely more popular, by now, 6 years later, the entire population of Japan should know her name. Imagine.
The fact that not as many buys her records on CDs doesn't change that. By the way, you're still forgetting about digital sales.

but the year 2000's Ayu is so unbelievable. she was too popular that all the japan music history never had such a shining star like her

There's been two artists prior to her who has sold about as much, the the first one was Seiko something I think. The second one is Utada Hikaru, while her total sales isn't as high all her album CD sales has always been higher.

the today's Ayu is much like a normal star, on the same level with Koda, Utada...

If you call that a normal star, please think again. They are huge, known over an entire country with over a hundred million inhabitants. They rule the second largest music market in the entire world, Japan's. They even made it internationally and have fan forums spanning the entire world.
