People always say oh this band is better than the other, when it's basically the same
dude who arranges and composes the music. Maybe most of the artist that have been
posted here are under the same record label or they have worked with the same persons who composes the music.

I find it cool, sorry if it's kind of off topic.

lulz sweden op.

But really, you're right!

It reminds me of when some time ago there was a thread with asian "artists" singing some ayu songs in their own language or something like that..

I remember an odd woman singing a weird version of Depend on you. It was hilarious~

I can't find the thread, though XD

^ ohh i remember something like that too. Also there were people covering her songs in japanese, like, other singers... if I recall well. It'd be lovely to find that thread again!

[Livey~]

I found the thread, but the link of Depend on you is dead! XD
Damn.. I should have saved the video..

Thread: Plagiarized Chinese version of MY ALL X__X

(Thank you Pommy for opening this! )

Anyway.. this is MY ALL.
And this too... MY ALL XD
Enjoy~ (?)

Has Ayu ever commented on all the artists that copied her style?
The only reference I remember is the Alterna PV, where we can see a copy factory of her.

I am really interested what they were thinking making this Halna girl a carbon copy of Ayumi. It's really creepy!!

Rina Aiuchi was definitely better doing pop like this. I COMPLETELY agree. Her voice is not suited for the more rockish stuff she did later, it's too sweet.

Another song of hers I'm SHOCKED I didn't think of earlier is "Ruby Stars" - I did a mash-up of it & A Song for XX a loooonnng time ago to demonstrate how close the structure & progressions of those songs were. Fun times

I forgot many of those older songs. Can't really remember how Ruby Stars sounded though I know such song exists.

I love re-reading this thread. I missed some stuff.

I love it was mentioned that Uruha from the gazette is an ayu fan. I already love him so much but now I love him more lol. Same for Alice nine members Iiking her. I love my jrock boys. They have mesmerizing ways of performing similar to ayu.

Rina is great. I love how ayu-ish she could be.

Anyway, about An Cafe. Back when I was more activel listening to them, there was this one song where the intro sounded like MY ALL. I'll have to find it.

The stuff from the AYU48 thread would be relevant here too.

Would cover bands be something to talk about and share here? I just happened to stumble upon this one today, tagged "ayumilky".....the singer sounds really similar to Ayu

I always terribly loved this song.
And Ayu would have done it so well in her peak (not with her current voice, please!!)

[Karori]

I didn't realize Rina's Deep Freeze was similar to M PV
Interesting thread, guys! Keep up the good work!!

Lyric wise I'd say the way he phrases things sometimes sound similar to how ayu would phrase them, I guess it comes with similar topics in songs.

I don't know if I'll find any pictures but if I do I'll post them.

I finally found what I was looking for!

Here he is with some of his Ayu CDs

Spoiler:

And here is Miku "imitating" the talkin 2 myself cover

Spoiler:

Some parts of the lyrics to An Cafe's The miracle of meeting by chance. I feel like they use some of the same themes Ayu uses a lot, of course it's not the same but it always reminded me of her lyrics.

In the endlessly stretching blue sky we are together
Continue fighting the anxiety you have towards a neverending future

I will give your injured, thirsty heart water without trying to hide it

At sad times, look, we’re together let’s divide the pain and cry
Even when you feel all alone, we will be waiting for you

Awww ^.^ I never knew Miku was an Ayu fan! I'm a big An Cafe fan so I'm very happy about it! ^.^
