I don't agree with your point here. It's not because an artist is mainstream that he/she has to release music that mimics the current trend. She always has been a mainstream artist, but back in the day she had a good performance critic/chart wise and didn't need to release western sounding songs. We had Get It On, Koi No Tsubomi, Color of Soul, this is not a love song, Heat... songs from different albums that show a huge versatility, color and not something we heard on music channels and radios.
Kyary is a huge artist and her discography in no way resembles what we listen to the radio nowadays. Bjork is another good example. For me, Kumi going to the westen urban/pop route is her losing her uniqueness.
