The expectation around her being different is actually very true... Namie was considered thr stronger performer between the both and she most likely just did the same thing over and over again, even if the choreography kept changing.

The international jpop fandom isn't very keen of surprises either... I mean, if the "surprise" is a cute outfit or a haircut they are in, but even if people complaing a lot about the "signature Ayumi sound", every time she actually tried something new was when she got the most shit. And I believe the same can be said about Hikki considering the reception stuff like Exodus got.

When I read criticism from the Japanese public it's more stuff related to either age and being uncool or not behaving properly because she is too "western" or dating foreigners. Rarely it's a conplaint about her body of work.
