I have to say I don't think she took Ayu's covers at all. Kuu has been known to do British themes in the past, like with Kingdom, and she wears a lot of British clothes and clothes with the Union Jack on them. The Dejavu covers were British 'Alice in Wonderland' inspired, not punk like 'Rock 'n' Roll Circus'. If you look at the Dejavu booklet, you can see the concept, and that's the reason there are floating objects on the cover. People were having this argument when Dejavu came out, I just hate that just because two big artists have done a British theme, people think they HAVE to copying each other. They both did British themes but completely different concepts. Like someone said, British and American fashion is very well liked in Japan, especially among Gyaru's.
I still like the covers, not the best summer covers she has done but she is pregnant, so she can't really do a full body shoot, like FREAKY. I still like the energy she shows in the covers though! It would probably look less tacky without the wig, but the wig also gives it s funky look.
EDIT: Also, I've never seen this before this video before:
It's of a girl called 'Mei Mei' doing a dance cover of Kuu's 'Show Girl' and 'Juicy'. From watching a few vids, I think it's a popular Chinese show where young dancers (I think mei mei is one of the main dancers) do covers of popular JPOP & KPOP songs.
She's also done 2NE1, 4minute, BoA, SHINee etc. They're quite fun to watch!
