Honey look at the gif a little closer.

Western artist performing her English song on TV in Japan. Influencing the masses. Never the other way around.

Live with it, honey.

So? Fame in America = instant fame everywhere, regardless of how talented you are or not. Look at the big picture. It's all about marketing, not talent, not to mention the pre-concieved notions Americans have about Asians which makes it hard to succeed in the States + having to change their music a lot to fit the US music scene to where it doesn't make them stand out at all. That's why Asian artists hardly make it in America. This is common knowledge...

As for Britney performance-wise, she's not half the performer she once was. Which is too bad, because that was one thing she could at least do well. Now? Not so much... And the Circus theme isn't all that original anyway, even certain Asian artists were using it before Circus came out.

=/= means two things are different. Ayu is a part of j-pop, which doesn't make her irrelevant at all.
