雖然濱崎步一向走在潮流尖端，卻常惹來抄襲疑雲，新專輯繼被指與misono的舊作《生-say-》很類似後，最近封面又被指與大S多年前的美容著作封面相似。不過，有濱崎步的樂迷在網上維護偶像，氣憤地 指大S有炒作之嫌，亦有網友冷靜看待大S的發言，認為這個概念早在十多年前已有藝人開始使用。

[love in music]

Despite not being able to write or even hold a pair of chopsticks, Da S is still working hard on updating her blog with her left hand. One of her new entries caused quite a stir as she uploaded an old photo that looked strikingly similar to the cover of Ayumi Hamasaki’s new album “L”. She commented, “Isn’t this the cover picture of 美容大王 (literally translates to ‘Beauty King’, released in 2007)?” Despite the similarities, fans of the singer quickly came to their idol's defence saying Da S was intentionally creating commotion. Other netizens pointed out that the idea has also been used by other stars over a decade ago.

maybe if ayu had some sort of tic-tac-toe game going on on her face i'd think it was copied but this mask theme is pretty common and I'm pretty sure people did it before that lady too..

[MissElin_]

Ayu's mask do look a bit less scary with eyes closed anyways...

[ExodusUK]

No 1 currs about this chick. Haters can go kill themselves.

[U-GO-BOY]

why didn't they do this with misono's cover? it's nearly the same, too

[brener]

[Mintkisses]

Haters gonna hate.

At the risk of sounding rude, no one really cares about misono. She's not that popular anymore. Ayu is insanely popular in Asia and this is her 50th single cover so someone's going to make a fuss about it if they can.

[ownsarai]

Geez. Who cares? This is NOT the first time this concept has been used. They all stole it from Gackt...OK? XD (kidding)

[everlastingRAINBOW]

This concept isn't new.

[primavera♥]

Lol. Someones always "copying" someone lol... Its always amusing though to see the latest accusation for whichever artists
If only some people wouldn't take these things so seriously.

[Lanz16]

The Taiwanese cover is even more creepier than Ayu's. (O___O)"
With a mask were eyes was opened.

It is a huge coincidence IMO.

[fanayutic]

Comparisons like this between idols are like so childish.
Omg. It's not as though the original concept has been invented by someone donkey years ago. lol

[Ayumiko]

LOL...her accusation got backfired...

大S寸步姐抄襲不成反變箭靶

【商台互動娛樂組】抄襲風似乎無處不在，到底原創何價？繼有電視台多次被轟抄劇，今日政府的平面廣告又被網 民發現抄《絕點
緝兇》（Vantage
Point），而大S（徐熙媛）亦在微博上說日本天后濱崎步新碟封面抄襲她的美容書，即時引來Fans罵戰 ，但大部分都指責大S唔知醜，以為自己的「意
念」是原創。

步姐的新碟《L》封面用了面具這個概念，惹來大S發現後指責步姐抄襲，「這不是《美容大王2》的封面照嗎？ 」此言一出步姐的Fans立即反駁，撐步姐在03年的MV中已經用過「面具」，抄襲的其實是大S，也有Fa ns寸大S根本不值得抄襲，因為她的知名度遠不及步姐。

支持大S的部分留言：

timothylo1017：我想是大S先看這封面驚雅（訝）才貼出來，大S本應沒有惡意。

巫柏儀：拍的漂亮就可以，管他的。支持大S。

SomedayQiQi：怪不得我當時看到封面的時候總覺得很熟悉。

支持濱崎步的部分留言：

ML37：ayu小姐03年就用過面具囉，下次請先做做功課。

Tingayu：你是否該為自己的言論負責任，不管像不像，你都已經傷害到許多支持AYU的歌迷。

S1DAFG_kzr：就算步姐真係抄，都唔會抄大S這個小明星。

[Larisa-chan]

Man, we've already since this concept used with misono and Gackt. It's already been said numerous times that this concept isn't the most original out there ;P

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

Other netizens pointed out that the idea has also been used by other stars over a decade ago.

it's true, we cannot deny it. Anyway i don't care about her, it doesn't influnce ayu

[Bigtop]

Oh no... Too much duplicity here...

[AyuGAME]

basically it's not original idea, it's general but it's up to every single person to give a little twist on it...and ayu did a good job...

[gallowsCalibrator]

Everyone has their own interpretation. I guess haters will be haters
