^Yes, obviously.
Most of Gaga's actions are parodies and full of satire, meant to be reflections of the things in our culture people don't want to pay attention to.
Having said that, I don't think Ayu and Gaga are all that different at all...in fact they're pretty similar. They're just different in how they go about things. Ayu chooses to cloud her intentions through subtle imagery and metaphors. Gaga throws it in your face.
But I guess that's what's most important to people right? Appearances. Forget trying to understand anything...she looks like she's being a ho, she's trashy and a degenerate prostitute and the picture of the lost values of our species.
Grow up. Our species didn't know anything about itself until now. Now is when everyone is finally choosing the right path, the harder path, of looking at ourselves and actually understanding who we are.
All the old rules and traditions are becoming outdated...And rightfully so. However, the ones that should stick...will.
Gaga is only giving you a mirror to look into. I think Ayu does the same a lot as well, and that her PVs would be much more sensational if the tradition in Japan wasn't just to stfu and smile.
