Probabally because that is still very common in Japan. It has been falling by the wayside a bit, as have other Japanese traditions. But I would guess that women who continue to work after they are married in Japan are still considered an exception. But Ayu has always been exceptional and with her strong women power image, I doubt she would completely retire - perhaps slow down though.
