2021: Reflecting on Ayu's career

[Toniayu123]

I honestly don’t understand how getting divorced twice, and moving abroad is considered bad reputation. Isn’t the same case for Hikki as well? Has Ayu done anything else (aside for dating a grass eater) so shameful? She is a lovely person, and specially with her fans, some western artists should learn from her... I don’t think it’s Ayu’s fault to overexpose herself, but media’s way of portraying it.
I love Ayu and Hikki a lot, but their careers took different routes. Not to talk about their music style which is completely different, as well as their image. For some reason Hikki still clicks with people (if that makes sense). I also think that in Utada’s case, the hiatus she took did a good favor to her image and popularity. She left while being on top, and the hype around her come back was insane.
Anyway, both are legends each in their own way. Also, (not the case with Utada but) popularity doesn’t equal quality. Sometimes really talented people don’t reach the top or fall really quickly, it’s a matter of luck in the end.
