Ayumi Hamasaki Monomane!!
 

For those who don't know Monomane is a type of Japanese comedy show where comedians impersonate singers (among other acts) infront of an audience and usually other celebrities. Here's a vid of an Ayumi monomane (of the song Surreal) from a bit back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibjaO5k0QEQ
I think she does a pretty good job not only capturing Ayu's voice but also her manneurisms! :D

That Was Great, I Agree She Definitely Knows How To Act Like Ayu Lol! Thanks For Sharing The Video :D

lol 1:24.
She did a great job copying her mannerisms.
She sounds like Ayumi as well!

Thank God ayu doesn't move like that anymore, it was so annoying!

I actually liked when she moved like that, it was cute. The way she moves now is worse IMO. Especially when the tries to do choreographed dancing. :puke

^ She's a good dancer, or at least a decent dancer. She used to be very stiff...
just check out the Real me dance.

I liked it. It was very funny!

Matter of opinion, but the way she used to hold the microphone at the bottom of it and have that loose hand all over the place just drove me crazy.

Nice.. she really moved like Ayu, how she did in that time.
But.. she don't sounds like Ayu. She sounds totaly different.

lol I think the shaking was greta...also it doesn´t look that awarkard on ayu...also the thing with the both hands on the mic but not touching it with the right one was great

Interesting.

Lol that was cute, thanks for sharing

lol that was cute~

She's actually a "real singer", I looove her song SURRENDER. It reminds me of Sailor Moon.

That was nice to see some impersonate, but her voice is definitely not as powerful as Ayu. I think it's quite a big difference and she doesn't sound like Ayu.
She does move quite like Ayu :D
oh my! She actually couldn't hit the high notes in the chorus part! lolz!

She sounds like her at first but her voice gets WAY too high pitched IMO. she's very cute though. :)

Oh my ! wow, she is almost like a duplicate of ayu . From far, i can see the resemblance in the hair . Her actions are also very similar ! Thanks for sharing ! :D

this was nice XD

she acts A LOT like ayu, but her voice doesn't sound Ayuish at all to me^^

Actually, she's Shimokawa Mikuni. :)

LOL! i agree,,she acted just like ayu!
but her voice didnt resemble at all i think,,

good impersonation in terms of mannerism i agree!! but her voice couldnt make it.. :(

i like it especially when she holds the mic at around 1.17.

The way she holds the mic is very reminiscent of Ayu in her old days... But her voice is kind of a little too high sometimes. And she does resemble Ayu from far, but at near... meh. Only the hair.

That's quite cool! She sounds like ayu during the pre-A Best period. But ayu doesn't sound like that at all now. Especially later renditions of SURREAL, it's more powerful and lower pitched. I think a person with a lower pitched voice sounds a lot better when hitting high notes like karen carpenter. Nice effort though, especially with the head bopping and voice cracking moments.

well, that was entertaining. even if she tried very hard.
she is a singer?? her voice is a disaster! 0.o

I saw this video before!..thanks anyway!

Of course the best ayu monomane is here:

i think this is rather good~ the WOO does make a difference

^Scary hahha

She could have at least gotten a more realistic-looking wig! LOL! PLASTIC. :laugh
