Aqua, meanwhile, had that similar blowup and growth model happen, but then it receded over time. She was still highly popular, but she was hit by multiple things over the years which pushed her into her own shell compared to others (Losing the China audience that was huge for her, the APEX harassment stuff, etc).
Aqua had the harder stuff happen to her more than a lot of other talents, and ended up self-isolating in some ways due to that, which probably helped make things harder on her.
