Buy a time machine and go back to 2008?
I cant speak for the japanese public, but I personally dont care about who she marries or dates or anything in regards to her personal life, but I do care when her personal anouncements coincide with release dates and her album or pv production quality seemingly plummets to the point where I wonder if she even cares anymore about maintaining the standards she created for herself.
I know that myself and many other fans here struggled to stay interested in ayu over the last few years because of all these issues that began to overshadow her music and we were fans to start. I dont imagine that the general public in japan would even bother to do the same.
But shes had a few moderately successful hits recently, so maybe the public isnt as unforgiving as we al thought. Will she ever have another peak? I doubt it, but I also dont think she cares as, while her sales are nothig to brag about, the public still comes out to her shows, and since this is now her major source of income that is where all the moneybis being spent.
