Because like out of the 4, Namie is really the only one out there right now. Lawd knows ayumi don't count no mo'. Afraid to even release a Single. That should be the least of her worries. It's them Album sales. And Kumi Koda is stagnant and stuck in a rut and hasn't really tried to mature and evolve. Her baby will mature and grow before her music ever does.
I feel like the only one of the originals left to go to right now is Namie so nobody has a choice. And Namie is taking full advantage. She'll release another album at the beginning of next year if she doesn't quit and become a full time Mentor of ayumi hamayuck.

Isn't it funny that namie came into the music scene before the other three, and now she's the only one being active AND popular. I think hikki is still quite popular (judging from her digital sales of Sakura Nagashi), but she's inactive. ayu and kuu are still active, but at this moment I dun think ayu is popular, and I'm not really sure about kuu since I dun really follow her nowadays. And I must include mika and ai-chan as well, since both of them were pretty popular back then. Well mika is kinda struggling (not that she may care). Ai-chan is with that rabbit band and it's not doing very well.
So please, hikki, please come out and do something. I beg for your music...
