If you watch videos from back then, they all had that same cutesy sort of style Ayumi has in this video. It's almost like an homage to that.

Also, if you look at Lady Gaga, Ayumi in those skintight uniforms....that is VERY Lady Gaga. Many of her outfits are made up of skintight vinyl, etc. And the shades Ayumi wears? (I'll see if I can find a screencap). Gaga has a unique pair of vintage sunglasses with all her outfits, so once again, that sort of thing is very much her. They may not have been trying to mimic Gaga, but it's a very similar concept.
also i noticed copies of the EXACT same moves that Lady GaGa does in her videos. it's so obvious
