Was talking to some middle schoolers recently. One of them honestly had no idea who Ayu was. (She was born in 2000)

When I told another one that Amuro is older (career wise) she was surprised.

Another two girls mocked the way Ayu sings and said like "if that's the case I prefer Koda Kumi...but actually I don't like her either lolol"


Sooo yeah. Girls don't think Ayu's cool anymore. She's not edgy, she doesn't have slick videos, and her face isn't really the face girls are emulating now. Her style isn't relatable and her lyrics are lost on this generation (growing up with rather meaningless songs)

I know this is only one group of girls, but I can't help but think it's a general feeling.
