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

You can download Ken's Bar II via https://mega.nz/#!mAxVXZSK!JMXHpj96V...BvNq_8oQl-A4k8

Besides LOVE ~Destiny~ , I also liked Ken's renditions of Eagles's DESPERADO , Andy Williams' MOON RIVER & Ne-Yo's Because Of You in Ken's Bar II
Thank you, Karen!

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?

If it goes per usual, she owns the parts done by her, so, pretty much every single lyric and her voice. The musicians owns the part they had on the music. Avex owns the recording itself.

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. 😂
