I don't know what's worse, the existance of this thread or the fact that it has over ten pages.

despite of the thought that everything we have now is not original anymore...
but i'm not happy if someone said she copying gaga...that's not true at all... if people said she copying madonna, i have no problem with that, since we all know that she a HUGE fan of madonna, she even attend her concert at USA. so i have no problem with that she even mentioned that... but gaga...gaga who? she just started her carier...she not even close to become a legend yet...while ayu..i believe already become a legend in japan...and everyone in japan on our era will remember her... yes...i agree that there is some part that looks like gaga thing...its fact and i can't run away from that fact...but to say ayu copy gaga...gaga is still nobody now...and like a tons of people has said...ayu already done crazy stuff many times even before gaga start her carier...

It's funny. I was talking to my husband about this conversation the other day..... Long story short, I've been watching a lot of older Ayu PVs and concerts lately. And now every time she comes on stage/set with a crazy or high fashion outfit, he'll see it and be like, 'OMG LADY GAGA?? ' And this happens a lot, lol.... In other words, yeah, she's been using "GaGa-ish" costumes literally for ever now, hah. Even years before a single person knew who GaGa was. And this happens surprisingly often. I didn't even realise she was always this extreme and weird sometimes, hah.

^ So weird yes. According to some (a lot of) lady gaga fans, everyone copies gaga, and ALL crazy fashion statements OLD or NEW = gaga.
Go to this link: http://www.towleroad.com/2009/10/did...as-closet.html And this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_NL0DwHbV4 And change the name of "kylie minogue" for "ayumi hamasaki" and it's exactly the same pointless conversation people is trying to have here. Even if we all agree that kylie has been pulling the CRAZY and RANDOM looks since forever too, people now think she's so gaga.

Haha, I thought this thread was kind of funny. I love Lady Gaga and Ayumi Hamasaki both very much. They are still distinctive and true to themselves. :]
About the video though, the way I see it has some resemblance to the Bad Romance video because of the location and some of the outfit ideas. BUT maybe Ayumi did this on purpose because she might be fond of Lady Gaga's style because she is very avant-garde and a powerful woman. I was thinking that Ayumi wanted to reference Lady Gaga in this music video and looking at the lyrics is supporting other powerful women like Lady Gaga? Haha, just a random thought. I just think it's pointless to argue because they are both great artists. |

I haven't read this point, but has any stopped the consider if Ayu REALLY has the time to sit down and follow everything Lady Gaga does like a hawk? I mean, if it weren't for American Idol, no one in the US would know WTF the X-Factor was, so why should we expect Ayu or her people to have? Considering how busy she is, I highly doubt Ayu even had a clue that Lady Gaga wore a similar outfit on an obscure show.
Which takes another point, even if, on the day of filming, someone pointed out to Ayu and/or her people that Lady Gaga had worn a strikingly similar outfit, there is NOT WAY they'd stop and decide to change it. That's not how film production works. It was rented, sized, and fitted to the model. That's incredibly expensive, especially to have in a timely manner. So if they knew by the time it got to shooting, there is absolutely no way shooting would be held up so they could get another outfit/costume, potentially a knew model, and return the old one without delaying the shoot AT LEAST a couple days and they would not be able to get a refund on the previous garment. That is not how things work. At shooting, you work with what you have (I know from experience), and make due. Just some thoughts.

Everyone is influenced or copies "GaGa". Duh...
And really ot - but from that Wiki excerpt... putting her name in the same sentence to that of someone like Freddie Mercury is just a complete disgrace. Well, I still think Ayu is 1000000000000000000000000000x more original than "GaGa", meaning I doubt Ayu even pays much attention to anything she does. Holla. |
