Maybe to get the rights to do a cover of one of her songs is too expensive for those small artists/acts unless the person is Ayu's friend (Gackt, for example).

It's hard to say what goes on behind close doors , perhaps May J. did considered to cover M & also something from Namie's discography
The fact that May J. is under Rhythm Zone doesn't mean it was easier for her to get permission to cover songs that were originally sung by avex artistes But HY & EXILE are in the covers album so maybe the 2 of them were more willing to allow May J. to cover their songs And perhaps May J. did approached Ayu & asked if she could covered M but Ayu said no or maybe that's something which never happened in the 1st place Possibilities of what if's are endless

Never knew there was a Secret/Depend on you/LOVE Destiny cover but I do remember someone singing Startin' live in a concert in Chinese/Taiwanese or something..? And never noticed how there were no covers of Namie Amuro songs... huh... interesting... and limited covers of Ayu songs... do you really think Ayu owns the rights to all her songs? I have no idea how this stuff works... doesn't avex own any part of them?

I don't know japanese authoral rights, but there's a chance either she or Avex bought the rights over the profit from the musicians. In Brazil at least you can cover a song on stage but you can't record it for profit, either on video or sound. If Japan is anything like that, yeah, people would have to pay, or at least being given permission so they could cover her stuff for an album, and maybe she is too expensive or doesn't usually gives permission. You dont have much Utada covers either, for example.

GACKT did everything with SEASONS, recorded it, had an endorsement deal with it, performed live, put that on DVD (I think) and even had a video. I guess being a part of AVEX and a close friend of Ayu makes things easier lol

It’s annoying to me that it’s a Heisei era album but M by Princess Princess was released in 1988, which is still Showa. January 8, 1989 is the beginning of Heisei so... why. 😂

In my thread TONS of rarities, remixes, etc. ～episode IV～ I've collected the cover of ayu songs which are done professional. Most of them seems to be chinese or vietnamese and might not be official. Quote:
