Ayumi Hamasaki X Namie Amuro

[Not Fade Away]

^lol, I know right?

Namie's performance style kind of reminds me of Janet Jackson's a little bit. Both of them are more cool and like dance-oriented than dramatic (of course I've only seen a handful of Janet's performances, so I'm basing my opinion off of that).

I think she said Janet was one of her influences at one point in time too? I could totally be pulling that out of my butt though....teehee

I just think they're soooo different in styles of performance and in vocal techniques. The closest song Namie has to an Ayu song is probably Tempest and that's only because it reminds me of some of Ayu's 'epic' tracks in that sense.

I would still love it though....It would probably make my head explode because it would be two of my all-time favorite JPop artists on stage together.

Yeap, Namie is a huge Janet fan, and her both her performance style and most coreography are very inspired by Janet's...

Some people said Britney and Namie are somewhat similar... Britney also had a huge inspiration on Janet's choreography and overall performance style... So, they were inspired by the same person.
