wow... nice one~~

In London? :S
But... wait.. Ayu can't have been in London and I have not know about it x___x

But according to the pics its totally the same mansion... But Ayu never was in London...? Weird...

Maybe it's a "replica" of a mansion that Ayu is in. But again, Ayu could have gone to London secretly... lol.

Maybe some of the pics were shot very early, like...in early 2007 and just not used for something before the GUILTY photobook because there was no fitting song or something...I can imagine ayu shooting something and then thinking: Hm...that doesnt fit, ill use it in 3 years for something xD

I believe that house is in Bel Air, LA, it's probably a place that's rented out for movies and such.

^ ... I think you're right. I saw a bunch of other sources saying it's in bel air > __ <

The owner of that place is really lucky!

interesting thanks

oh that's interesting! so ayu went to london? @_@

:laugh this thread is just full of confusion.

What I gathered was that they aren't the same since Ayu's was filmed in the US and Lady Gaga's was filmed in London.

Unless 1) Lady Gaga's was not filmed in London. 2) Parts were filmed in Bel Air.
3) Someone in London really loved that house and paid A LOT of munny to have it replicated completely there...


They sure look the same to me though.

Lady Gaga partially filmed in L.A. and somewhere else. It's not a hard concept to film in two different locations... come on guys.

Also Lady Gaga's name couldn't be further from Ayumi in how it was created. Way too much reaching with the rest of those comments.

I would let Skarsgard's arms push me over a balcony though...

^I think the easier concept to grasp is that Ayu flew to London without telling anybody :tired

btw isn't Lady Gaga's name derived from a QUEEN song or something?

People are funny.

^ Yeah, she got her name from Radio Ga Ga by Queen.

But I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the similarity, I kept getting the deja-vu feeling when I watched the PV. X_X

Interesting that the outfit here that Gaga is accused of copying off Beyonce actually looks quite a bit more like one of Ayu's outfits in AT07 (I think it was).

^ Yeah... the kiss o' kill one, heh. And omg the last photo, Lady Gaga's like

*looks down*
"I can see my boobies."

@emiko: Yeah, that was what I suggested to... that she just flew to London without letting anyone know...

If they're going to claim she copied anyone on that outfit, it should be Dot Matrix from the 80s film Spaceballs:

Yeah, it's definitely the same, but there is something you didn't see at the first pics; The wall next to the window on Lady Gaga's pics is bigger then on Ayu's. And there is a different banister in the background. But it's just another place in the house, I think :P

^true, should be the same mansion where they filmed the video and the photoshoot. I didn't even notice this similarity when watching the video. LOL!
