:S I'm pretty sure Ayu does occasionally turn on the radio. And Lady GaGa's albums have been doing quite well in Japan... so it is doubtful that somebody within the music industry has yet to hear of a current phenomenon.

But again, I doubt Ayumi thought "Let's copy Lady Gaga!" I really don't see the problem with simply incorporating a bit of London-esque high fashion in her PVs. The music video industry has been around since the 1980s; you cannot have a completely unique music video each and every time. So, people should just learn to embrace individual representations of at times similar themes in these videos.

And like others have said, I really don't see being compared to Lady GaGa as a bad thing. They are both talented and sexy. Let them do their thing~
