The answers are quite interesting. Some of them include Maro fiasco, blaming divorce on earthquake, bad vocals, saying that she graduated from Kouhaku when in fact she wasn't selected, Party Queen album, marriages with weird foreigners, etc.
Some say they stopped going to her concerts, because they wanted to see just Ayu on stage, singing properly with her band, but she was focusing on dancers instead and the vocals got worse and worse.
Doesn't seem they were fans after all... I don't understand people "leaving the fanbase" over personal stuff like divorce/weddings. Unless the artists I like are doing something hateful/disrespectful/breaking the laws I don't see the point of not being fans of them anymore over personal life situations. Is like you can stop being fan of Chris Brown after he beat Rihanna because that's - for me - shows how a bad person he is. But makes no sense on stopping being fan of Rihanna, for example, because she broke up with Drake, when this is clearly her personal life choice and has nothing to do with her music. You know what I mean? lol
