I honestly feel like with Namie being retired now, the constant negative response to Ayu has really faded. Ayu’s faltering sales and fluctuating body were constantly used to shame her in comparison to Namie. Be it by fans and even in news/gossip columns.

And with the 2000 trends slowly becoming popular again, it’s only a matter of time for there to be a slight increase in interest in her. She’s vintage now. It sounds “new” even though it’s old. We have to remember that teens would potentially be discovering her music for the first time. And the 2000s were a very visual decade in music.
