A lot of Ayu's dancers and musicians have careers outside of Ayu.

I know that yo-chan has his own band that used to be the official band for the Kamen Rider series.

Miyazaki Yusuke, one of Ayu's keyboardists, plays for a variety of other groups and is an active member of a band:

(full list of tours/recordings is here: http://spicykikin.web.fc2.com/profile.html)

Tomonari Yoshihiro, another one of Ayu's keyboardists, has released his own albums and plays at a variety of shows:

Go-mi now owns a bar: https://www.facebook.com/SweetbackBar
SHU-YA's now a certified player :
Spoiler:

2-YAN is a DJ for his own group, Party Animal: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Party...28563213863747

ZIN is also a member of Party Animal, and I believe he owns a clothing line called ELIMSMILE: http://ameblo.jp/zingown/, http://elimsmile.jp/

Subaru and Kazuma are both a part of Party Animal as well.

3 of Ayu's acrobats are part of the POWERBOMB acrobatics team: http://www.powerbomb.co.jp/
The other 3 acrobats (Tomoki, Satoru, Katsuyuki) are members of BLUE TOKYO: http://bluetokyo.jp/en/profile/
(I think Tomoki might be related to Shiho Fujita, who some of you might know as Sifow)

As for Enrique, I'm not sure if he has done anything else really. I think his main reason for leaving is that he wants to pursue a solo career now like many others are doing. I don't think it's that he doesn't like Ayu's new music, I think it's just that he wants to try doing something different.
