Ayumi I think needs something similar otherwise, her lowest low point may not come for another couple of years and its always harder to start over in the Japanese music industry the older that you get. Basically she would need to start her "comeback" NOW I think.

Even so I am hoping the drastic change in music style will never occur in Ayu's case. I don't think she needs to start over and I am perfectly fine with what she is/has now. The fact that her singles sales don't always go down shows that she is still able to pull out the occasional hits and hopefully the albums sales will start going the other way at some point.
