The way she handled the Music Station fiasco indicates a stubbornness or unwillingness to submit to authority and respect the "system" and its rules, which seems very unlike an ESFJ. I suppose none of us know how she truly reacted to it, but I feel like it could have been smoothed over easily if Ayu had quickly and sincerely apologized to Tamori-san and/or the network. Instead, she seemed unaffected by it- with an air of arrogance, almost.

The E vs I thing, she seems to ride the line. She certainly could be ENFJ as truehappiness points out, however. Without really knowing how intuitive Ayu is, it's hard to tell. But this statement on the link he shared is just dead-on as far as how I perceive ayu: "ENFJ's are so externally focused that it's especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people." Which would explain the E/I conflict, for sure. Introspection doesn't have to exist exclusively of extroversion - especially when you're as intelligent and self-aware as Ayu indeed seems to be.
Also, she does hate hierarchy and rules
unless she agrees with those in charge. She puts alot of faith into the others on her team to take care of things for her, for instance (which she didn't used to do, but grew to be comfortable with it), and she seems to be fine with the "rules" society puts on people in the USA, but not the comparatively more extreme rules of conformity in Japan. She insists in being an individual, even when interested in & focused on others around her, which is certainly not unusual for an ESFJ or an ENFJ.
