I just want to clarify something that may have been confusing in my first post.
I don't mind making comparisons between artists, and I understand that it's useful to explain to people who nothing about them sometimes. But I think there is a difference between, "Ayumi Hamasaki is the Britney Spears of Japan" and "Ayumi Hamasaki is famous in Japan like Britney Spears is famous in the U.S."
There's a difference between equivocating people and comparing something they have in common. I don't mind the latter, but the former I find disrespectful for reasons that I mentioned before, among others.
