Ummmmm..... Didn't Lady Gaga say that SHE took inspiration from artists like Koda Kumi? Not the other way around? I'm not sure if that's right - correct me if I'm wrong.
BUT, Koda has been around since 2002. She has 50 singles. She wins.
Favorite song from Koda Kumi <3 And to the people who are comparing Koda Kumi to Lady Gaga... It should be the other way around, since Koda Kumi has been known WAY longer than Lady Gaga. I love Lady Gaga too, but Koda Kumi is better. What if LG copied KK? You never know.
as an artist (not a performer, but same deal), i take inspiration from things that i see, and sometimes that's other art from different artists. unless it is straight out copying, there is absolutely no problem being inspired by another persons art. that said, Koda has been in the industry YEARS longer than Lady Gaga, meaning Lady Gaga is probably the one taking aspects from Koda and not the other way around. who cares? they're both talented, and they both get recognition from it. chill, guys!
Koda Kumi has been in the music scene way longer than Lady Gaga so she cannot be called a Gaga clone. Also, alot of western music artists have claimed they get most of their inspiration from Japanese culture, their different music scene & quirky ideas and fashion e.g. Pharell Williams, Gwen Stefani, Black Eyed Peas & even Lady Gaga herself. Japanese fashion has always been outrageous - before Lady Gaga even came into the scene. So please get your facts straight before discriminating a culture.
@Yellowchubear while agree with you to be fair only over the last 5 or so years has koda kumi dressed this way and been provocative my bet is the record labels know sex sells so the made her sex it up.

Japs have no originality and a total sell out. It is a disgrace to compare her to Lady Gaga...she is nothing. Nobody. A pathetic loser, no talent jap. They have no originality. Always have to use other cultures to try and boost their own. Japs are best at copying. Hence, the World does not recognize jap music or entertainment because it sucks.
@SyncAhead I'm sorry, you must be confused since AMERICANS are the biggest copiers in the history of copying. People don't listen to foreign music because most people want to understand the music rather than enjoy it for what it is.
@SyncAhead Ummm Japan has the 2nd largest music industry behind the USA plus Hollywood "remakes" a lot of Japanese films. So for the world not recognizing them they seem to be doing fine
KUU IS BETTER THAN YOUR FAVE AND YOU WILL DEAL. THAT INCLUDES YOU GAGA FANS THAT INSIST ON BRINGING HER DUMBASS UP IN EVERY FEMALE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. KAY?
I have lost respect for Lady Gaga and gained a new respect for Koda Kumi and there is no comparsion between them they both are on different career levels and Koda is way past Gaga anyways enough about Gaga this vid is so cool how she is on an elevator and it is so structured how it looks, really cool vid :)
People need to realize that Japanese and just all Asians were and still are wayyy more creative. Just look at the Gyaru Girls and the Yamanba girls. Lady gaga has nothing on those girls
ummmmmmmmmmmmm idk y Kumi is being compared to lady gaga....Koda has been in the game longer than she was. she is NOT a japanese version of lady gaga. She is kumiko koda a.k.a. koda kumi!
@Mamimi38 for comparing to western music, I'd say she was more like Rihanna anyways (but more experimental and rambunctious than her), even though she pre-dates her as well.
yes, she's way better then gaga, and people comparing her to rihanna? i'm sorry but rihanna got nothing on kumi's carreer, kumi work more than rihanna, MUCH MORE rihanna can't touch her concerts, her singles, she got 50 singles and ten years of carreer kumi is love! (L) she's not GAGA, not MADONNA, not MINOGUE, not RIHANNA! SHE IS KODA KUMI the QUEEN OF LIVESHOWS!
