Well, Kana's overall image is pretty much pasteurized Ayumi Hamasaki on girly mode 24 hours a day... The r&b ballads are most likely western influence + Hikki's presence still being felt. Also, people like Thelma Aoyama were already having big r&b ballads before Kana becoming big.
I can't talk about YUI because I know next to nothing about her...
