Another reason I think is the general view on "borrowing" and cover versions. Covers are produced a lot more frequently and closer to releases than in the US (at least from my experiences). Also the pop industry in Japan seems to be dominated by really few people (producers/writers). This doesen't explain how ayu's melodies are being borrowed though, cause she's never written music for any other artist.
