I think the guy, that made this list, should rethink this again.
Besides that, I would say, the word "idol" is also something that everyone would put in another way for himself. You can idolize everything, if you take it this way.

Because you're clearly missing the point of what a Japanese idol IS. Ayu, as has been pointed out in this thread, is not an idol singer. They may have tried to make her one back in the day, but I doubt you can even consider her an idol in the Japanese pop sense today. Akina? Totally was an idol in her heyday. Now she's just fondly remembered.
Ayu is an idol in that others idolize her and can learn from her, but she is NOT an idol singer.
