Well, I can safely assume anyone with extra money has donated to some charity. It's fine, but in a sense you are right because anyone with a huge load of loose change can easily do this. It does not take much effort and its like saying to the people, "see this, look what I can do that you can't, I can donate this much...and that makes me high and mighty...and you should like me...". So the intention seems to be in the wrong place like it's done to gain popularity.
But I was talking more differently when in comes to humanitarian work. For example again, Shakira actually founded and created a charity with her own money (almost 10 years ago?). And recently, she physically went to Bangladesh to help when she could have been making up more music or belly dances to make more money for herself. Even though there may be some "selfish reasons" to do so, IMO, its a sincere move for the most part. As for Ayu, she was sincere in writing the lyrics for "A Song is Born" and if she did sing in a concert to help tsunami victims, I think she was sincere and not because she can or to gain popularity or to show off. Doing more than just simply donating loose change is at least to me sincere enough (especially when she has alternatives to do instead, like writing songs, producing concerts, commercial ads, photo shoots, etc.). Besides, something is better than nothing.
And to add to the main topic and I forgot to say this, I love Ayu because of her really cute personality and mannerisms. Like when she starts jumping around in her concerts being all happy and bouncy. And even when she cries. But most of all is when she sings, she gives it her all to put so much emotion to the songs.
