I can see where it can be read as misogyny. But its not necessarily the male standard of beauty but rather the general standard of beauty here; plenty of women feel the same way as what he stated in this poll.

I think they may be referring to both her singing and speaking voice. Generally companies want people with pretty speaking voices but a lot of people don't actually like Ayu's speaking voice. (very husky sounding) I like it because it is unique though. For commercials though, unique might not be the best thing.
