Who says that Ayu is loosing popularity...?

[milky_way]

For some reason, I want Ayu to have another dance song. It doesn't even have to be an A-side. The only one she really had was Startin'.

It's obvious that she is losing popularity but you can't expect her to have the same status as she did seven years ago.

idk I think Ayumi just needs to try something new. I found Mirrocle World to be so typical...if this year she releases a summer pop song followed by a ballad I think I will die.

You forgot that there are A BALLADS and Memorial address mini-album between them and Memorial address was just an 8 tracks album and it still could sell over a million and then MY STORY's sales rose

i agree zoom. its tiring to hear that kind of stuff. shes covered almost every genre of music in her songs over the years and if people cant see that, well then they have a serious case of misinterpretations of what different genres of music there are.

Hypocrisy much? You say ppl love to overreact and then mention: who will remember KK, Ai, YUI, Boa songs in 10-20 years? Do you have any proof that people won't remember their songs AND will remember ayu's instead?

OMGOSH Impact O_O its like u read my mind LOL or maybe I read urs ;D LOL! Anyways her popularity is obviously declined in Japan. U can still be popular and have a decline in popularity =x And ayu-mix prolly only did sell out becauase it had minimal amounts of copies.

And people will DEFINITELY remember those artists. Koda Kumi's Koi no Tsubomi was recognized and got awards and all that . Wasn't it even on a greatest female song album? Ai's Sakuranbo stayed in the charts for like almost 2 years ._. I am pretty sure that made some impact on the music industry. BoA was popular throughout Asia before Ayu was.... So yeah That was kind of rude mentioning those artists and bashing them.

I'm pretty sure people will definitely remember Ayumi Hamasaki years from now. People still remember Seiko Matsuda, and Ayumi has similar if not greater fame. Koda Kumi, Ai Otsuka, and BoA will probably also be remembered, but perhaps not to Ayumi's extent.
