I didn't say 30+ people don't buy cds but since when have they been Ayu's main supporters? Ayu's music has always been aimed at girls in their late teens and 20's but now they have other idols like Koda to attract their attention.
Again I'm not saying she's not popular anymore, I'm just saying I think she's no longer the 'in' artist right now and she definitely isn't as popular as before.
