OMG NAMIE IS COPYING AYU!!
THEY ARE BOTH FEMALE!! OMG!! THIS IS A BIG NEWS!!! :)

jesus christ could your signature get any bigger

Namie is female? That's news to me.

And seriously, everyone, we get it. you enjoy sarcasm. it doesn't make your posts any less annoying.

this chinese article gives a flame though its true

totally lame. we all knew the news was downhill ever since Paris Hilton became the most talked about celebrity. Then it was Britney. I mean, if you have nothing better to report than the bowel movements of a blonde singer, don't report anything.

I think it's interesting that when Amuro is accused of copying Ayu (even the Korean magazine) it's joke worthy, but Ayu is still being accused of copying Amuro with her You were... / BALLAD and ALL FOR YOU cover.

They're both similar in concept.
Confined in small spaces, leg up, Ayu is covered in rhinestones while Amuro's corset has diamond shapes in it, etc.

While I don't think it's copied, there are similarities.

And the part about international crisis or whatever is way dramatic haha.

^ because our godess ayu can copy everyone and is not wrong

Can't believe Namie would do such a thing!!!!!!!!


I think is funny that they are not similar and people are trying to spot similarities
oh namie anti fans gtfo

That's just...ridiculous :no

Thanks for translating though! It gave me a good laugh :)

OMG! Are those people blind?

"This has become such an international disgrace, for God's sake, change the covers!"

LMAO that is soo epic xD wth

I dun think the covers are that bad that needs to be change. LOL.
It's pretty cool isn't it. I thought of Ayu's Kanariya cover when I saw it, but it doesn't really bother me though.

Well...imo both are ridiculous assumptions as most are...its not like anyone here is bashing namie as I think anyone can see the stupidity in saying they are just copies.
Whoever has the time to make these decisions that "x artist copies y artist"?
Especially knowing whoever is "victim" of having their stuff copied, some of their fans will go bashing the other artist

But its good that's not happeneing with this little situation here

And how many more people are going to use sarcasm in this thread?
The post could at least be balanced out with some thanks to isaac for translating instead of a bunch of "omg its sooooeffing similar etc"
But to each his own :)

I agree completely.

lol thats funny, i not once ever even thought of ayus single cover when i saw namies single cover. even as i was reading that i was like "...how...?" then i saw the pictures together and was like" ..ohhh...:rolleyes " haha

Wow.... never once did I think of Namie copying Ayu's kanariya. And I still don't think so. Yeah, there's a similar pose, but that happens a lot. No one owns that pose or any other pose.

& is it just me or does Namie's hand look deformed in that pic? I dunno if that's how it is on the actual cover or not?

omg ilu :heart

but :rolleyes :roflmao what entertainment

wow.... ok stupid accusation. And I'm sure other artists before that single had pieces where they sat similar to that for covers, MVs etc. Besides, it's not like she had copied the song or anything. Some people need to find better things to do with their time.

Those reporters need to find a real hobby...

Reading all these comments reminds me of the "The Simpsons Already Did It" episode of South Park, where they make this little point. "Everything's already been done.":P
