But what's up with your "Chinese undertone" there?
You mean how it seems like every person that "copies" ayu is some chinese singer? Chinese artists get such bad reps because one or two does a cover of a song or has a similar dress, and the entire fanbase of the copy-ee goes beserk. You should see how Canto-artists get butchered at Korean music forums. it makes me sick...

Not saying you specifically do, but like when ayu fans found kill-ayu they started defending her like "Well, it doesn't mean she COPIED her. These people are just stupid" and it's like, how blind can you be? Sure, ayu's great and all (I own all her albums and over half her singles, not to mention a few remix albums and 2 videos) but it's quite obvious that somewhere along the way some decided they likes what was going on across the pond and took the idea, purposely or not.

Why is it that it's justified for an artist you like to copy (sorry, lemme rephrase that, "be inspired) someone else, but if someone else copies the artist you like suddenly it's a completely different ballgame?
