I don't think the song was inspired by Madonna's. Madonna's is about celebrating the glamour of 1940's film stars. I think Madonna titled the song "Vogue" in relation to the dance she borrowed from nightclubs and used to choreograph to the song, rather than the lyrics. Ayu's is about her fear of "the end"..she worries one day she will no longer be "in Vogue", so Ayu's is a more direct use of that word that you might expect.
But, Ayu does admire Madonna. Even though I don't think she just picket the word "because Madonna used it" it might have brought the word to her attention. But that's just a guess. I think Ayu picked the word because it was suitable for her song and its a beautiful word in English more than anything else.
