These reasons still aren't enough for me to think they're alike. Madonna has always been inclined for the dance type of pop, and has often been trying what's latest on the dancefloors. She also takes more risks on her careeer, working with completely different composers and trying different music styles: If you listen to Erotica and Bedtime Stories, you'll notice that, since she tries some RnB sounds and other different stuff. Songs like secret and Human Nature aren't anything ayu has ever tried. Also, Madonna seems to like controversial themes: interrracial relationships, sexual freedom, abortion, and even relates to religiosity in a rather controversial way, causing a lot of debates towards her actions. Her lyrics usually are centered towards things about American culture, taboos, and sometimes a few things about her personal life, like her relationship with her father but those personal things are usually restricted to her more personal albums (Like A Prayer, American Life, etc..)

On the other hand, ayu is nothing like that. ayu has done dance pop and trance stuff, but they're really different from what Madonna has experienced with. ayu experiments more with rock than Madonna does. When ayu uses themes like religion, she puts them in a rather classy non-controversial way. ayu does some type of music that have a lot of that unique JPOP feel in its root, something Madonna doesn't. ayu is a little more conservative on her careeer, and try to stick with her usual composers. ayu's lyrics are centered on love and affection and her relationship with the people she lives with, and her personal conflicts.

I have almost the entire Madonna discogrphy in actual physical albums (the only album from her i don't own is the EVITA soundtrack, but it's not like it will make a huge difference) and I own almost all of ayu music in mp3s, and I have to say their music are totally different. I listen to both for totally different reasons and moods. There's not a single ayu song I can relate to Madonna and not a single Madonna song I can relate to ayu in terms of resemblances.

On top of that, their vocals are nothing alike. and the lyrics, I don't even need to go there.
