Is it just me, or...

... Do the covers of Ayu's single & and Hitomi Shimatani's single Falco seem strangely similar? Their hair, the placing of their right arm, their stance...

Well sort of. It's not an uncommon pose plus both are based on a Summer theme so I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar style.

Pictures? lol

[ImpactBreaker]

It's just you.

[truehappiness]

They really aren't familiar at all.

[hallelujah_united]

Are we supposed to start a "OMG SHE COPIIEDD AYUUUUUUU!!!1111oneoneone" thread here?

[blahh]

eh. nothing similar really. but in the video when hitomi had that mohawk hair style or whatever you call it..it looked similar to ayu's hair in because of you pv.

Yeah, not alike.

[miracleofsuzaku]

It's just a common pose that everyone besides Ayu can do as well.

[evolution105]

what the hell? why does this thread exist?

[Kakeru]

It's funny, because Ayu herself did the (relatively) same pose twice...IN TWO CONSECUTIVE SINGLE COVERS. Compare "Voyage" & "&".

Point is, like everyone's said, meh, it's a common pose.

[truehappiness]

....Voyage looks nothing like &.. does it?

The posture of her arm is the same.

I suppose one could pick any random image and find some similarity between it and something Hamasaki has done. There's nothing truly new in the world.

[Kakeru]

Not the covers themselves, but the pose that Ayu is doing, hehe.

EDIT: Ooops nmaskalmn was faster. But ya that was my point.

Exactly. Any sort of pose for a magazine cover/single/album/etc. can't be copyrighted by one person, haha, especially with such common poses above.

[MsMiyabi]

It's just a pose what's the big deal?

[jeffycue]

this is just a "im wonderning.." thread... hehehe

[bluegie]

really... i would rather say hitmoi's pose reminds me of hikki in her COLORS pv.. during the first music break the red leaves blew towards hikki and ah-uh hikki was kinda doing that pose .

LOL.... everything you do is what everyone else is doing.. no big deal

OH YA...haha that part of the PV makes me laugh. xD And everytime I hear that part of the song I get reminded me of that scene.

Thanks, people. I just saw a similarity in how the two girls were standing.
