To answer your question, well, it seems to me that this topic is mostly about musical influences, and Jolin & Ayu's music is not really alike...
As far as visuals as concerned though, when Jolin was under Sony (2003-2005 but mostly 2003-2004 Magic-Castle), some stuff like parts from The Smell of Lemon Grass PV were, let's say, "strongly inspired" by Ayu because they wanted to make her the "Taiwanese Ayumi Hamasaki" back then. Jolin didn't really have a say about it unfortunately and she ended up leaving.
