I think this is a matter of specialization. In other asian countries, you have celebrities who do tons of stuff but are half-past six in everything. They are mediocre singers, actors etc. We know ayu's singing isn't great but we also know her songs are of a certain quality and her performances are usually stellar. Also many celebrities are just given a script or told what to do but i think ayu is part of the planning and production process. I feel that's why Johnny's boys can do dramas, concerts etc as opposed to ayu who does 'less'. Level of involvement in the different stages of the whole product could be a reason. And to be realistic, this is what ayu may want to fall back on when she's past her 'prime'.
This is my opinion.
