I'm reading 2ch and their music boards are like Japanese ATRL without moderation. There is a "Namie vs Ayumi" thread about Ayu's declining sales and the responses are:
Quote:
"Hamasaki's face has changed so much. Namie is still baby-faced, so she can sell".
"Amuro was hated during the ganguro craze. Now the positions are switched and it's Ayumi's turn".
"isn't it a matter of their personalities? Amuro seems like a strong and proud woman. Ayu seems like a short-tempeted woman who looks down on everyone".
"Ayu's music is outdated".
"Let's compare them to AKB48!"
"-Ayumi's lost her value since she became an old woman. Women are valuable as long as they're young. Amuro is ugly, so it's doesn't matter whether she's young or old
-This. In the past, Ayumi>>>>>>>>Namie. Now, who cares?".
"Ayumi was just lucky. She can't recover anymore and she isn't even trying".
"Ayumi will become a legend if she dies young".

Mess.
I lowkey see their point though, especially about her music being outdated. Like A One and Sixxxxxx were so bad for her standards.....
Kesha, her impact, with one of them saying she should die young.
BURN THIS MUDDA ****A! 
and 
simultaneously. The Namie vs. Ayu thing is so trite and played out atp, I feel like I've been reading the same thing for years now.
