while I think her retirement maybe likely, I feel that if it happens it will be solely her own decision and not something she's forced to do because of the state of her career.
because career-wise she's still doing ok, her sales are certainly lower than they used to be but 50k isn't a complete flop for an album by an artist who isn't super famous. and she still tours (she had a tour for LOVE CONCENT too) and has plenty of work in commercial endorsing & she starred in a main role in a movie that got an international release (Akumu Tantei).

best of album+dvd collection have been the most succesful releases in few years ("BEST ~first things~" by Kuu , "A BEST II" by Ayu), so a hitomi BEST cd+dvd might be a decent seller too?
