She's not an idol – Namie is going to eventually join Kuu and Ayu's levels within the next year or two, and that's fine.
Here's the thing. Kuu and Ayu have extremely dedicated fanbases. They have successful tours every single year and are doing more dates at smaller venues, resulting in more people getting to see them in more intimate settings.
You can tell the Kuu is especially really happy with this. She's beaming in all her photos, her music is great and Avex has been really strategic with her release dates - her albums still manage to get that #1 debut.
I've come to terms with the fact that Ayu is one of the most hated celebrities in Japan and that she'll never experience the success she once did. The fact of the matter is that she's still a legend, still produces fun music and live shows and I'm at peace with that. Plus her Instagram is so fabulous.
but the mv is just flawfree 
I love all the singles she released after Uncontrolled. We got Tsuki, Brighter Day, Mint, Hero, Dear Diary. I hope none of her singles make it on the album tho. I don't want another Uncontrolled. She should just release her singles and then the album with brand new songs.
That's an achievement for them.
I hope she serves us a single like Love Story or Tsuki with two B-side tracks and 2-3 MVs.
God I miss the thrill.
