Definitely, western and asian artists inspire each other. Mainstream Japanese music now is practically completely Westernized; pop and rock originated from the West. The only un-Western-inspired music I'd say Japan has now is enka or traditional folk music or something. As for covers and image and such, I think inspiration goes both ways...then again, some things are just trendy and modern.
And as for that cover in particular, I agree with what ayu cake said. It's a typical shot IMO.
