To answer the posts above parodys are usually not negative, I think most people confuse satires with parodies. For example, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, some of the sketches on Mad TV, even The Boondocks are not parodies they are satirical. In other words these type of shows use humor to make fun of people, but unlike parodys the humor in satires (or rudeness, there are two types of satries horatioan and juvelnilitian) presents a problem and then, and this is important, presents a solution to solve the problem. For instance take Family Guy the show uses racial stereotypes to make fun of Americans who perpetrate these same stereotypes. Now in Startins' case a parody does not make sense because only the music video was SOMEWHAT the same there are many noticable differences, I remember when Toxic came out (the music video) and Ayu only "copies" a few of the scenes. Now taking this into consideration why would an artist use a sexual video, in essence, and then have lyrics telling their audience that they can make their dreams come true. It is almost as if the music video shows the problem and then the lyrics provide the solution. This is just my interpertation. But back on the original topic, this has already been settled and I know that Ayu does not copy any other artists.
