Not so much "Japanese fans", but just "Japanese".
We percieve Ayu differently than people in Japan, she's a goddes to us, and certainly to many Japanese fans, but she's also a mainstream performer, she used to be an idol (now she's more like a diva) and that is not something that everyone enjoys without hesitation. For example, rock fans in Japan - I'm pretty sure they dislike mainstream pop and were never fond of such personas as Namie or Hamasaki. I think it's the same way as with western pop acts - while Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears were the top of the world to some, they were also the absolute evil to others.
