[2008] This Japanese artist = This English Artist

[Damita]

I was wondering who in the J-pop/K-pop/C-pop market would you say is similiar or the same to in the English market? For example...

Ayumi Hamasaki is the Japanese version of Madonna (without the controversy factor and with ayu being 1000x prettier)
MISIA is the Japanese version of Mariah Carey
Crystal Kay is the Japanese version of Janet Jackson (or at least she looks like her!)
I also think ZARD is sort of like a female, Japanese version of The Beatles. (I may be wrong, haven't listened to a lot of Beatles music and have only heard ZARD's greatest hits albums + one or two others)

Now list yours
