Sorry to say, but this PV is pretty much Gaga copied to the bone. Seriously, she didn't just take some inspiration from Gaga, she did more. Her hand motions around the face, her robotic-movements, the costumes, shoes, everyhting is exactly like Lady Gaga's style.
How can you guys even argue with that?
I don't know, Ayu was doing a "artful/fashionable" thing with this PV and chose to focus on London designers. I think that GaGa's style is basically anything and everything avant garde, so no matter how "unique" something is, it seems like someone will always trace it back to GaGa as she's worn just about everything from Paris/Milan/London/graduate shows around the world. She put Rachel Barrett(?) on the map with her silicone rubber collection after all, haha.

I think even if GaGa hadn't come around or w/e, Ayu would still have done this PV and people wouldn't be pointing fingers at Ayu/GaGa.

It's like... Ayu has worn designer outfits since she became famous. She wears McQueen, Balenciaga, D&G/Dolce&Gabbana, Dior, Chanel, and other designer outfits quite regularly. Why is it so out there to think that the fashion was mainly her idea? Also, some of the Gareth Pugh works that were worn in the PV were never touched by GaGa, haha.
