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.

THANK YOU. Your post pretty much expresses my feelings exactly xD One of my friends is obsessed with Lady GaGa to the point where it's kind of unhealthy, and always has to insist that Lady GaGa's music style is "totally new & unique" when it really isn't... I really love a lot of songs by GaGa too (Just Dance, LoveGame, The Fame, Boys Boys Boys, and Fashion being some of my faves), but I'm pretty sick of people overrating her @__@;
