I came into the Ayu music scene like the day after Memorial Address came out, so I can't give a perspective of someone who was around during her peak; but my understanding is that Ayu had pretty much taken over the entire public sphere with her image. She was a heavy influence in the gal and parapara movement and was in so many commercials and ads. She actually changed a nation. Has AK8 or whoever they are done that?

So even if AK8 sells more than she did, it may not make them as memorable. Even the Backstreet Boys (kings of boy bands) won't be as long-remembered as Madonna.
