Yeah I wonder why people are always all "Ayu so copies Madonna!" when in fact even Madonna has used some ideas after Ayumi, a pretty big one being the crucifixion. I honestly don't think anybody would purposely so obviously copy anyone, especially copy someone like Madonna since everybody would notice. But I do think Ayu is often inspired by her. And you have to remember that everyone often gets ideas and think they're their own and don't realize/remember that they've seen/heard that same thing elsewhere before. That happens a lot esp. with making music, so why not with performances and videos too.
And like many have said, Ayu always puts her amount of originality in everything she does, so the fact that she gets inspired by others doesn't really bother me. Just like many artists get inspired by Ayumi, they don't copy her all the way.
