Ayu's Influences

[Andrenekoi]

I don't know about you guys... But sometimes while listening or watching to some acts older than Ayu, I have that feeling of "wow, so, this where this come from!"

Not saying that Ayu copies them or anything, but every artist has their influences in the end of the day, and while watching some lives, I was thinking about discussing this with you guys on a thread...^^

So, can you think about any act that u feel that influenced Ayu as an artist? Share it with us!^^


Here come mine:

Yumi Matsutoya
Not only the fact that the performances are big (and the ship ), but the overall body language, the way she acts on the stage and even some on the music (mainly on Haru yo, koi on those two songs... I can hear influences of it on the Rainbow album, for example).



Seiko Matsuda
The greater mother of cutesy on jpop, I can see her in Ayu everytime our girl goes kawaii or dressed like a party cake. Some may also remember of Sparkle...^^




Madonna
Besides the image control, the constant reinvention of her own persona and her most eletronic stuff, the theatrical side on the lives are all thanks to Madonna. ^^ and oh... At02





How about you guys? Noticed someone else? Agree? Disagree?
