That's why I don't understand the A ONE love. A lot of it would have been fine in 1999, but pop music has moved so far past this. Ayu once moved past this. But now she's regressed and it's stale.

Does it matter? Every few albums Ayu shows that she can do whatever everyone else is doing and occasionally goes back to what she likes. Do you only listen to the music which sounds as if it was recorded in 2015? Just because it's "pop" it doesn't mean it has to follow what's popular. I am not sure if you can really stick the pop label on Ayu anymore.
Why does she have to do what's currently in? Also the world has moved past the classical music, it's not in, it doesn't attract masses the way Beyonce and Daft punk do, but people are still making classical music and it has audience.
