My feelings towards this are basically, Ayu was to soloist singers then what AKB48 is to girl groups today.

Every company tried to capitalize on the current superstar(s), thus there were Ayu-esque girls popping up everywhere. Likewise, there's an influx of girl groups now because everyone wants a piece of the AKB success, but in both cases very few imitations remained relevant...
