After reading about this article in another post, I decided to look up what cover of Jolin Tsai they were actually comparing "&" to. This is the cover of "Watch my 72 Transformations" (correct translation?)
It said in the article that she's copying her because they are both using the blue sky background. HONESTLY. How many covers have blue skies in the background? A lot. It would be like if someone was comparing two people's outfits, if one had tennis shoes and the other had a different brand of tennis shoes, one would be copying the other. This is just ridiculous. And I highly doubt Ayu would copy off some Taiwanese singer who's been known to have a problem copying off others herself.
I did think the whole A BALLADS/t.A.T.u thing was quite a concidence.
