Ayumi in SLT = oh, another GaGa copy?

[Chu-Lip506]

I was like Lady Gaga for Sexy Little Things but hey that could be her inspiration for that video cause lady gaga stands up for womans rights, stuff like that ya know Plus thanks to lady gaga (and some others), stuff like that is in, its the new style, If i was a singer i would get my inspiration from lady gaga or ayumi hamasaki or artists. I just dumb people say its copied but its not, do you kinda get what i am saying?

Yes. Not copying, just similar.

For those of you who are saying she's just "inspired" by Gaga for this video.......tbh I feel like you just have your heads up your asses.

One model had on pretty much the exact same Gareth Pugh outfit that gaga wore for her X-Factor performance of Bad Romance (The one with the robot style arms), two other models in the video had on the exact Charlie le Mindu lips hairpiece that Gaga wears during the "walk walk fashion baby" scene in Bad Romance. Not to mention that whole single white room thing and the scene towards the end where all the people are on a couch similar to the beginning of Bad Romance. I understand if Ayu wants to use high fashion in her videos, because everyone's doing it nowadays, but she could have at least been original and chosen other lines and designers.


This video is just a horrible recycled/watered down version of the Bad Romance video. I really expected a lot from Ayu and she's let me down with this crap. Not to mention the song itself is just disgusting.

I mean i'm not angry, its just i expect Ayu to be original and creative and not blatantly rip off someone else's idea. I thoroughly enjoyed the other two pvs so all my hope in her isn't lost.

She was in London.

The concept of the video was fashion. London/British fashion to be exact. All of those designers are huge names in London. I don't see what's so wrong with pulling pieces like that from big designers... would it have been better if Ayu chose the pineapple hair instead of the lip hairpieces? If she chose the checkered bodysuit instead of the robot arms?

The Gareth Pugh work seems to be a completely altered one as it's very different from the one GaGa wore, but the silhouette is similar. I feel like this is Startin' all over again with the "Toxic" part being replaced with Bad Romance... -sigh-

I suppose though that Ayu plugging the eyeball in and pushing "play" a la Bad Romance is a little too close for comfort.

I agree on your previous post in somethings

I was just joking btw

there is no right or wrong
some fans just want ayu to be original and perfect and whatnot
but we have to be realistic

Oh yeah I know i didnt take offense to that lol thanks for agreeing.

@TrueHappiness: I understand she wanted to showcase british designers, but there is so much to choose from its just funny that she chose those specific fashions. Also, it's not wrong or unusual for people to use high fashions from famous designers, it's just the context that they were used in. This is just my opinion, but the whole thing is just too Lady Gaga for me; especially after seeing her use those same things months ago it would just be nice to see Ayu go in another direction, especially since she's so fashionable herself.

I love SLT the song grew on me and it's like for me her best cutesy song.
And oh the PV reminds me more of Alterna than Lady gaga

[perfectodub]

The room in the videos looks like the kylie: "i can't get you out of my head" room video.

[truehappiness]

When you want the best of the best, there isn't much to choose from, haha. GaGa tends to go back and forth with her fashion choices pulling from collections that were shown YEARS ago, but Ayu chose relatively recent (2008-2009) fashions for Sexy little things.

I didn't realize Lady GaGa had copyrights and invented all these ideas and clothes all by herself and once she used them no one else is allowed to ever without being a dirty rip off.

Grow up, you ****ing moron.

Can't people just stop to insult and bash other fans and artists?
I will never understand why somebody means you have to do that. You can express your opinion without insulting and bashing, in a more mature way.
All that hating is so uneccessary.

Lady Gaga is the most common artist worldwide at the moment. Ayu chooses the same designers and some similar places in SLT. Of course some will like that, some will not, some are reminded of Lady Gaga, some aren't. In the end it's just about the personal feeling and preference. Nobody directly copied, but it's interesting to think and write about why Gaga is so big right now and why Ayu choose to do a similar concept right now in one of her videos. Maybe it is just a coincidence? Maybe Ayu just liked the same designers? Or maybe she was inspired by Gaga to do something like she's done before again?
But people, please write in a more mature way, cause I don't want to read that unfriendly mess!

[se7entheaven]

I'm so addicted to the song and PV!!!!

[truehappiness]

I know, right? What's with the random cursing, too? This isn't fighting in middle school (or even elementary) or anything...

[tangtangs]

i think it's because gaga is so popular these days, so whenever people see weird/exaggerated costumes they naturally relate them to gaga's fashion.

also, those costumes are from mcqueen. so i don't think they follow gaga's idea.

[primavera♥]

while this thread still exists should we go back to seeing how ayu copied madonna in 2002. oh no! because it just matters so much.

to me ayu looks good and it sends a good message. and as far as the pv goes thats all i care about

and more important than any sort of "images" is the song. why does everyone focus so much on pv than the song which. si it because the song doesnt have a gaga similarity so oh its not that important. i personally like the song. whatever. i wish this thread could be closed since maturity is lacking (Even from me)

[ayu99persen]

but for me .ayu's radio tape more cute than gaga

kanariya : madonna?
ourselves : christina aguilera?
startin - britney spears?
SLT - gaga?
watch it carefully.
