@dyaherolive2bavilain are kidding me? this was in 2006 you dumb ass how in the world has she copied gaga? do a little research you idiot! AND FYI she was 27 at the time? GAGA is also in her late 20's do you think she should be off stage too? and a little monster calling ANYONE ugly is the most IRONIC thing EVER!!!! Mother monster piles on the make up and wears all these effed up outfits to hide her ugliness,. Go listen to Express yourself....i mean born this way :p
@Kaleido37 I admire your attempt to be a bit constructive but when you're calling people ugly, it just shows your personality to be exactly the same. People slam Gaga all the time, she's strong to keep going and ignore all the pathetic criticism. She might have come up with this whole brand for herself with 'monsters' etc, but it's still about the music and her art still comes first. Every artist takes inspiration from somewhere, doesn't make it copying. Grow up and enjoy the music.
@TheScorpion667 excuse me, i was raging thats why i might have come off as rude. It baffles me and drives me crazy that these monsters can waltz into any video and make these comments without doing ANY research! making accusations like "she copying gaga" i hope they know that gaga is not an original she copied many great artist before her but all she did was add her own take to it. I don't mind gaga but her fans make me hate her sometimes.
Don't ever use the word "copy" to describe ayu. You should use; Beautiful, amazing, cute, great, special, wonderful, awesome, cool, princess, best, stylish, and most importantly ORIGINAL.
how the hell can she be copying Lady Gaga. This was in 2007. 10 years into her career, where the hell was Lady Dickshit then? She was only 29. How is that too old? Beyonce is the same age and so is Britney, Mariah Carey is 41 and is one of the best voices in music. Age has nothing to do with performance. Ayu always puts on a hell of a show, much better than any others.
Ayumi Hamasaki is the most original and without question also musically the best artist in the world during the first decade of the 21th Century. Every piece of music is changed into art in arrangement and because of her strong and wonderful voice and also her emotional way of singing. She has simply the best musical back-up singers and musicians which make every performance a great experience. Being from Europe I have to say NO ONE that I know of could even be compared with her,
WTF? Ayu als Gaga copycat? Because of the Paparazzi outfit? This was 2007 and Ayumi even used the villa Paparazzi was shot in for a photoshoot in 2007! Way before Gaga got there.
@dyaherolive2bavilain She has a career spanning 10+ years. Has set records not just for a Japanese artist but a female artist. She writes her own songs and has composed some too. If you look up translation of her music you'd be surprised how nostalgic, intraspective, and personal she gets. While GaGa is good entertainment she is just show and NO substance. She is also VERY pretentious passing off half-baked ideas as meaning-full
@dyaherolive2bavilain Yeah right Lady gaga invented everything, the wheel, the eolic energy, the telephone, and how to make fire, yeah yeah right, live in your limited bubble world.
so can anyone tell me there is japan culture here?
но вот же полное дерьмо! с одной стороны клевый перформанс, ставили наверняка европейцы или американо.. (японский акцент - форева!), но какая же засада... с засилием и насаждением инокультуры... иноценностей и инопонятий...

How are people comparing Ayumi and Lady Gaga? All of these people you are listing aren't the same AT ALL. You say Lady Gaga was normal before she became famous, right? Well, isn't everyone? I'm sure Ayumi was normal too. They just both happen to be very creative artists. Lady Gaga DID NOT copy Ayumi, neither did Madonna or others you are foolishly suggesting. They're all amazing and unique in their own way.
Well...Ayumi's songs are so awesome, I have heard about her like 4 years ago but never I gave me an oprtunity to listne her songs, and now I listen her great songs and I love them! And this song reminds me something so specially to me.
I'll readily accept that she's more of an emotional singer than a technical one, and for me that's not a bad thing. It works for the kind of songs she writes. And it's the songs that have always attracted me to her. So even if she doesn't always sound perfect, it rarely damages the quality of the performance as far as I'm concerned.
That is true. Ayu even stated herself at one point that she was a product. Doesn't make her any less talented in my opinion, tho. ^^ and at least unlike a lot of other singers like herself she writes all her own lyrics and has even composed a load of of her own songs, like Evolution and M. In my opinion, that means she is an artist, even if she did start out as, and really kinda still is, Avex's "product". :)
@rexana While this is true, Ayu also maintains creative control over everything and has the final say of what goes on in her concerts, music, videos, ect. Nothing has been forced on her since the A BEST controversy.
@GoldenEars69 You're comment is completely invalid! Utada is a great artist i agree, but Ayu was NEVER trained in NYC she went fro about 2 months for vocal training and she in fact DITCHED and went shopping instead. What shocked max matsuura was when they were exchanging letters, was how good she was at expressing herself she writes it like poetry so he encouraged her to write lyrics, she started out having little control but look at her know she does everything.
@TheZooFly the Asian sound is different from Western sound the Western voice has always a lot of raw sounds while Asians have so smooth and fluid voices
How do you know that lady gaga was first with those things? Have it ever occoured you that she might have copied it from somone other? You know those japanese singers has hade that wierd and crazy, yet cool style even back into the 90s. I think Lady Gaga copied of them. Americans isn't always the first ones, you ever seen lady gaga before she became lady gaga?
@BlaaaAndBlaaa seriously little monsters i hate to generalize but you guys all sound the same, you all sound so ignorant and you are! do you even bother to do some research? let me hit you up with some facts this was in 2006, ayumi doesnt copy ANYONE! also Lady GaGa copied basically all of madonna's career madonna hanged from a cross on her concert she had religious themes on her like prayer video and express yourself. Do your research before you troll!
