There's no scape 
I'm a simple straight old guy and I listen to Ayu because her songs make me feel very good. Her music makes great company. Her songs keep me awake when I'm working late or way home in the bus while all the guys listening to metal-hiphop-reggaeton or whatever already fell asleep.
The most of the messages in the lyrics are touching and inspiring for both genders, so, Ayu's songs works very well for male or female ears. 
BTW, Ayu is hot... Feel myself as affeminate is impossible, specially if you find yourself watching the Sparkle PV with your mouth wide open  or looking for a woman at least 10% as fascinating than Ayu.
The main concern for us wouldn't be if the fact of listen to ayu makes us look affeminate or not. IMO the important think is if we are free-independent-open minded guys or like little-kiddy-chickens, affraid to be ourselves no matter what people might say.

AMEN
There is no escape. Your only real choice is being yourself, no matter how cheesy and overplayed looks. You really have no choice if you look carefully
May be some of u may feel uncomfortable, but that's because probably you give too much importance to the stereotypes... if you want to do that, fine, but keep in mind you decide what's good for you, no one else can (or should)
You like ayu? great
you don't? well... that's
their problem, not mine.
Ps.- I listen to a lot of metal and rock and i love ayu's rock songs... and it doen'st make me feel manly... it makes me feel strong. and i believe that adjective should not apply to guys only.
