Also they both brought a new genre of music to the mainstream that wasn't your typical current pop (ayu started out current pop but brought electronica and her genre mixing to the mainstream, Gaga ressrected 80's style music and basically started the new wave of electronic music that now prevails)

I'll have to disagree with you, the main difference between Lady Gaga and Ayu is that Lady Gaga didn't "start" anything. Her fashion is not something people wear on a regular basis, and I doubt it ever hits the fashion magazines (thought I don't really know). Ayu, however, has been in fashion magazines for like ever and also started several trends, like the fox tail (from evolution).
Also, the the wave of electronic music had already started, "Just Dance" was nothing new. It was a good song yes, but not a new genre or resurrected genre.
Don't get me wrong, I love Lady gaga (to back that up: I bought The Fame and listen to it every day).. but she's in no way a trend starter. She's not revolutionary like Ayu was for Japanese pop culture. Not at ALL.
