I think it's really hard for words to justice to how powerful/successful Ayu was at her peak, she just wasn't the face of Jpop she was the face of Japan. At the time when Ayu debuted female popstars were mostly just idols, she arrived with confidence and a dark streak in her music. hitomi and Namie up until that point were just idols singing whatever TK gave them.
Also AKB48 will totally decline, at one point MoMu were in their postion and look at them now. I bet the average person on the street now wouldn't be able to name more than five members of MoMu or more than five songs.
And what Delirium-Zer0 said is very true, compare any Jpop album from the time to loveppears and Loveppears simply blows them all way in terms of production, polish, diversity, songs and sound. It's still very impressive. The jump in quality in such little from ASFXX is astonishing.
