I'm pretty familiar with Utada. I suppose I can hear some similarities between Gaga's recent music and J Pop, and Cher has always been an influence on Gaga's career. If anything, she's taking her notes from 80's glam rock and the Springsteen era. The fact that this song has been compared to so many artists (including Katy Perry, Madonna, Springsteen, Aerosmith, Pat Benatar, Cher, J Pop artists, etc.) just shows how multidimensional this song really is. BTW had obvious linear comparisons to Express Yourself, but with TEOG the comparisons aren't as obvious or linear.
