But for sure she would be a suitable closer for them in their anniversary year because prior to Ayu's huge popularity, Avex's biggest star was definitely Namie.
But anyway, it seems from reading the article, that it is still speculation at this point that Ayumi won't be attending, but it is certainly looking that way.

a-nation for artists managed by Avex (Rhythm Zone belongs to Avex), they usually invite just one special quest from another management company. it could be Namie tho.
how the artists are affliated with Avex is not always obvious. for example, Mihimaru GT are under Universal Music Japan but their management company belongs to Avex group.

Maybe it's Ayu herself who doesn't want to do A-nation anymore?
it always seemed like Ayu was just used to draw the crowds and then having these artists who could never do arenas perform for them while people all just want to see the grande finale.
Ayu & Kuu & EXILE have their own arena tours, seems sorta pointless for them to do a-nation anyways IMO.
