(B'z is the one possible exception that could be used but even still in terms of "meaningless" single streaks, Ayu is the only one I would put in that category these days) Or to put it this way - put Ayu against any of them and she will likely lose. Put any of them against each other and it wouldn't be nearly so cut and dry.
Supposedly putting fukuyama with the term "them", and saying "put ayu against any of them she will likely lose" = losing streak. - Then why should avex be stupid and put ayu to lose from the first place?
Having a meaningless streak is still better than losing it in a competition where you 100% lose it, and it's not like there should be a fight if they can win her like nothing.

I still didn't understand your point of the huge difference if B'z would compete another boyband (or put fukuyama with a B'z release or kinki kids or something of that sort).
