Ayu's influence on other artists

[ImpactBreaker]

The songs that sound very simillar to ayu actually does because it has the peculiar H/\L sound, since they arranged/composed many of her most famous songs.
S H E is obviously a cover of About You. Since About You is one of my most favorite ayu songs, I obviously prefer the original (not just because of bias towards ayu lol). About You is very aggressive, and ayu nails it so well.

I'm a fan of Deep Freeze. The whooooo-ooooo-oooo always made me think I was into some frozen place, so her earlier songs were somewhat magical; a lot of JPOP was for me back then, and that's what sorta made me stick to it more than other kinds of music. I liked when Rina Aiuchi made songs like that, plain JPOP. She later decided to follow the rock trend but definitely didn't do well. She was better with the cutesy anime-y stuff.

Well, it's not a cover, the melody is entirely different. It's inspired by About You, absolutely, but it's not a cover.

Rina Aiuchi was definitely better doing pop like this. I COMPLETELY agree. Her voice is not suited for the more rockish stuff she did later, it's too sweet.

Another song of hers I'm SHOCKED I didn't think of earlier is "Ruby Stars" - I did a mash-up of it & A Song for XX a loooonnng time ago to demonstrate how close the structure & progressions of those songs were. Fun times

I forgot many of those older songs. Can't really remember how Ruby Stars sounded though I know such song exists.

This thread reminded me of that one guy who did almost all the hits from the 90's to now.

People always say oh this band is better than the other, when it's basically the same
dude who arranges and composes the music. Maybe most of the artist that have been
posted here are under the same record label or they have worked with the same persons who composes the music.

I find it cool, sorry if it's kind of off topic.

Itano tomomi's music video is a blatant copy of a scene from the movie pans labyrinth

[tsumekaze_]

^ ohh i remember something like that too. Also there were people covering her songs in japanese, like, other singers... if I recall well. It'd be lovely to find that thread again!

HAHA I remember this!!!! the MY ALL one is creepy. seriously. XD thanks for finding it againnn

I think the only reference to copycats is alterna tho. Can't think of anything else atm!

[sitara]

Has Ayu ever commented on all the artists that copied her style?
The only reference I remember is the Alterna PV, where we can see a copy factory of her.

I am really interested what they were thinking making this Halna girl a carbon copy of Ayumi. It's really creepy!!

Ooooh Kana Nishino <3

This is great I don't know but somehow watching these make me happyyyy ~~~ ^^

[primavera♥]

I love re-reading this thread. I missed some stuff.

I love it was mentioned that Uruha from the gazette is an ayu fan. I already love him so much but now I love him more lol. Same for Alice nine members Iiking her. I love my jrock boys. They have mesmerizing ways of performing similar to ayu.

Rina is great. I love how ayu-ish she could be.

Anyway, about An Cafe. Back when I was more activel listening to them, there was this one song where the intro sounded like MY ALL. I'll have to find it.

The stuff from the AYU48 thread would be relevant here too.

[kendelle]

Would cover bands be something to talk about and share here? I just happened to stumble upon this one today, tagged "ayumilky".....the singer sounds really similar to Ayu

I didn't realize Rina's Deep Freeze was similar to M PV
Interesting thread, guys! Keep up the good work!!
