I think that is possibly part of it, before her career was much more focused just on her and her lyrics and the music. She had the band with enrique and Yoshio but maybe now everything is just a bit "much." You know? I also think that with each year she has been kind of distancing herself from the general public and taking on a more divaish kind of persona and that just doesn't really fly in Japan like it does here - humility is much more prized. I just watched her Domoto Kyoudai from last year (Together When) when she said that a) she didn't know what Passmo was and B) that the entire floor of her apartment is covered in a pillow type material (meaning you sink down when you walk on it, like a cushion). Now, I'm sure many people here don't know what Passmo is either, but in Tokyo it's an absolutely basic life essential as you need it to use the subway, buses, and other forms of public transportation - the fact that she didn't even know what it was, I'm sure makes her seem so "far away" so to speak. It's just some little things like that that I think exemplify maybe what part of the problem is regarding this steadily progressing popularity slump.
