True. I've always thought of Ayu as a singer MADE, not a singer born. I think it's a stretch to say that she's the ONLY J-pop diva not to have a musical background, but compared to people like Ai Otsuka, who's been playing piano since 4, she IS at a disadvantage.
However, I really respect her for that since she's made incredible progress in both her songwriting/occasional composing and vocal technique since her debut.
