Hamasaki Ayumi Receives a Surge of Criticism Over Her Stage Costume. "Ripping off Amuro Namie" "This is Awful"
1. [+2441 / -56]
Songstress, Hamasaki Ayumi updated her instagram on the 10th this month with a post which spurred a wave of criticism and talk. Hamasaki completed her concert in Saitama Super Arena a few days ago. On the 10th, with the words "21st Anniversary Party", Hamasaki posted performance photos in which she wore a brilliant blue outfit.
Voices of criticism were raised by netizens that Hamasaki Ayumi plagiarised the above outfit from Amuro Namie (41), who retired from the entertainment industry last year.
"Ayu's outfits have become like Amuro-chan's lately."
"When I look at LINE news etc, I get the feeling that Ayu's becoming more and more like Namie..."
"Her outfits and makeup is leaning towards Amuro-chan's style."
"This is going overboard!! It's a complete ripoff!"

I wonder if these photos have been photo-shopped too.

After all, this person is just an Amuro imitator.
It's nothing new.

First of all, lose weight and get some voice training.

She must idolise her.

Even if she imitates Amuro's appearance, her figure...

Didn't she just reuse an old Avex costume?
*Avex - an entertainment company that Hamasaki is under and Namie was under before she retired.

She wouldn't fit...
It's really difficult to make small sizes bigger.

Amuro-chan's thinner than a mannequin, so it's extremely unlikely that Ayu will be able to wear her size.

She's been ripping off Amuro's costumes for some time, hasn't she?
More importantly, her face... it's a complete stranger.

Amuro plagiarised lots of ideas from overseas artists too so it's fine w

Even though their figures are completely different I mistook her for Amuro-chan for a second.
She's too aware [of Amuro].
Doesn’t she have any pride?

The colour of her tights www

Who cares
I'm sick of people criticising and criticising over every tiny thing just for clicks
19. [+3230 / -24]
I actually admire her courage to rip off Amuro-chan despite her body shape. Just her courage though.
20. [+1288 / -15]
She changed her makeup, or more precisely the shape of her eyebrows etc.
21. [+1325 / -21]
No matter how much she copies, she'll never become the real Amuro.
24. [+1560 / -15]
Amuro-chan likes Janet Jackson so she uses Janet Jackson as a reference. And Dirty Hama, who is a fan of Amuro, references her again.
25. [+3487 / -107]
She copied this outfit, right?
Looks nothing like her.
Doesn't it make her feel pathetic?
52. [+1962 / -107]

She plagiarised that outfit?
The blue colour seems to be the only thing in common that I can see.

What does it matter if she copies. The only impression I get is that she must really admire Amuro-chan.

It's because by herself, the best she can think up of is a fox's tail.
So of course she'll plagiarise.

The fox's tail is a rip off too.

Tails were also popular overseas

Like I've said, she's been imitating her since way before.

Back then, this type of performance was all the rage.

Did she change her face again?
The top half looks too stretched
41. [+390 / -11]
Even if she does that, she doesn't have Amuro Namie's charisma.
59. [+1596 / -18]
When I watched Amuro Namie on TV, she said something like, "I saw Madonna doing it, so I thought it'd be good to adopt it but it didn't go well."
I was surprised that she revealed she references Madonna so casually.
In comparison, Ohama plagiarises and plagiarises, and then says, "Madonna? Who's that?"
She has a strange way of thinking.

Looking at this picture, I was shocked at the difference between their body shapes.
66. [+1816 / -18]
Around here?
67. [+2101 / -8]
Isn't the bigger problem the fact that she started the concert one hour late and didn't even apologise?
69. [+1573 / -12]
I find that the fact that she still wears school clothes even when she's already forty worse than her copying Amuro-chan's blue dress.

Ohama-san's outfit coordinator probably checks against Amuro-chan's outfit designs and says:
"This design passes, order double the amount of material."

She even plagiarised Kurosawa?!
In a way, Hamasaki's amazing.

Where did she plagiarise?
If this is considered plagiarism, then everything is plagiarism.

Isn't it the fault of the stylist?
