She did have a slump at that time, yes. I can't say exactly though how bad her reputation actually got. She did however at that time work really realllly hard at creating an entirely new image/appealing to a new audience, non stop tv appearances etc. All things that Ayumi really isn't doing. Plus, all that happened when Namie was still pretty young - so she still had time to make a second comeback. As mentioned, Japan is pretty darn ageist when it comes to women, so a second comeback STARTING at the age of 34 is imo almost impossible unfortunately. Would love to see it happen for Ayu though.
