HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR (a rock band) aren't as popular as they were when they debuted. Right now, people seems to be a lot more into urban or mellow rock like YUI, ayaka, Kobukuro... Pop is slowing fading away.

Hip hop is a niche genre in Japan, it's not very popular. Pop is still the dominant form of music, by far.
Ayu is getting less popular because her music is getting less mainstream and she's been pretty damn overexposed the for the last decade. People get sick of you when your face is everywhere.
