Has any female singer ever released cover song of ayu’s?
Miliyah covered Ayu unofficially this year when she was uploading videos of song covers during the lockdown. The "WOMAN" CD has only 7 songs and the "MAN" CD has 8, so people believe the missing eighth song for the "WOMAN" CD was meant to be for an Ayu cover.

Ayu doesn't seem to allow major female artists to cover her work officially very easily... I have no doubts that Miliyah would have wanted to include her, she seems to be a big fan of Ayu personally from the way she spoke about A Song for XX.

Here is Miliyah's unofficial cover of ASFXX from earlier this year if anyone wants to listen, it's still on her Instagram!

Junshen posted it here when she first did it and summarised what she said after she sang:
"guess she's saying that she's been listen to a song for xx more than few hundred times during her elementary school period .
During that time she thought artist is someone who felt far away, but this song lyrics make her felt that its nearby her somewhere around.
the pitch is a little bit high for her voice, and she been recording this a lot of times attempt to succeed."
