Samples in Ayu’s music used by her and other artists
Have you noticed when an artist uses a sample from another song? For example, I’m a huge fan of the German digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot, and the first time I listened to Ayu’s “Sparkle”, I instantly recognized a sample of one of their songs.
WhoSampled also says Disco-munication has a sample of “Need You Tonight” by INXS, and there’s also many people who have sampled Ayu in their songs: https://www.whosampled.com/Ayumi-Hamasaki/ Have you recognized another sample being used in one of her songs? |

Many of these aren't formal samples so much as similarities or maybe unintentional copies, but -
Free & Easy - opening uses "No Amen" from The Messenger soundtrack Pride - Crucified by Army of Lovers Feel the Love - Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Georgi Kay - In My Mind (Axwell Mix) And of course all the Task- interludes use samples. |

To my ears, Ayu's "Will" instrumental always sounded like DJ Shadow's "Mongrel" (2002), but with a different key...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vEnj79TrFE I remember back in the day, there was this TV commercial airing non-stop on french TV with DJ Shadow's song, so when Will leaked in 2005 prior to the single release, I was like "Wait a minute..." (I don't mind if some don't hear the similarities between these two tracks)

WHOA, I didn't know that about "No Amen"! :O
And I can hear the similarities about the DJ Shadow song and "Will", both songs are composed at 3/4. This one may be obvious, but "too late (LaB LIFe remix)" samples "Blue Monday" by New Order: https://open.spotify.com/track/6Gg53...Rt-SUTFYfPIA9A |

I was surprised to learn how much of (Miss)Understood was covered Sweetbox music (my fiance and I got into an argument because he insisted Bold and Delicious was a cover, but I didn't think Ayu had covered anything on (Miss)Understood).
That's not sampling, exactly. I think technically "Bold and Delicious," "Ladies Night," "In the Corner," "Pride," "Beautiful Day," and "Rainy Day" are covers? But the lyrics are Ayu's own, so that's not usually what you'd call a cover . . . is that sampling when it's the entire song? |

It was actually a mutual decision to cover those songs! Citing Wikipedia's article on (miss)understood:

There's a reality show series called Total Divas and in one of the episodes the background song was the first seconds of LOVE 'n' HATE. I tried to find the post I made when I found out about it, but apparently it was deleted. -sigh-
