Why didn't Red Hot Chili Peppers copy a "californian" (US) band album cover instead then? That rule makes no sense. You can parodize whoever you want. And it's not like ayu is a complete stranger in china. She clearly isn't or else there wouldn't be so many chinese tabloids talking about her at all. Ayu is one of the most popular artists in asia. That's already enough reason why.

And well yea, if this is her first release, it just shows that her music can't speak for her, so she needs a publicity stunt. Hmm.

That's not a matter. Who cares if she's an extremely unknown artist or not, or if she's pulling tricks in order to promote her album. She definitely managed to get some attention with that, and I believe much more than if she had released a plain cover. not all artists in the world have to follow a diviaish style of building up their careers. Not all people who release a cd want to become an "ayumi hamasaki" blah blah For instance, comedians can make albums, even if they become a complete failure. Maybe this artist has other jobs and do other things for as living, heck who knows, we have no info on her career at all.
