I will not lie , I do miss the old days when Ayu & Kuu were literally everywhere but what avex did with over promoting them do backfired to a certain extent
That also unfortunately happened to GIRL NEXT DOOR too
The last decade or so , Johnnys , AKB & LDH family trees have dominated sales wise & rarely solo acts are able to sell well
Even those who've been around for in the business even longer than Kuu such as Fukuyama Masaharu-san also face the same problem but his solo tours still sell well
As Corvina said in the previous page of the thread , the 1st round of fanclub ticket balloting for Kuu's duo angeL/monsteR tour was quite high in demand
I think if Kuu want to get more people to like her music , she would have done this a long time ago & not now
And I feel Kuu is now at a point in her life that she want to do things that she geniunely wants to do & not what avex make her want to do
Besides now with social media , it's 1 avenue that non fans get to find out about her & also her music
That happened to Kuu's cover of COMPLEX's Megumi no Hito which unexpectedly got a boost in online popularity
So something like this can happen again , you never know
