the front part of chorus sounds similar but i dun think ayu wld copy :)

wow this is really interesting...but im not sure it affects my opinion of her at all

Can someone reup this, I don't know what the song is either, I want to send it to my friend. x_x

nah, its just a little familiar.. it doesnt affect anything.. Norain, I've seen you at H-O right?

Well, I have the sample that I dled, but it's been deleted (I mean I did post on the first page and that was months ago, lol.)

Yes, I'm on Hikaru online, it's a really...quiet place...(MUST MAKE UTADA REPLACE ALL THOSE FAKES)

Reup please? :)

aah! But the lyrics are totally different right?
That's the thing that really matters,,

can someone upload the whole song?

Something about the song being 70 percent the same, I'm hoping someone can reup it. At least tell me the title of the song.

Thanks! The song sounds nice, actually.
I don't mind the similarity at all :D

Thanks! I had downloaded that awhile back but lost it.
Anyhow... yeah, I do think the similarity is a bit uncanny. o.O
But it could be coincidential. There's so many songs written every day, it's bound to happen I guess.

wow. i must say its quite a like, but i think its a coincidental. i like the song a lot. can anyone upload the full version please?

No

WOW! That is more than a little similar... perhaps though they are good friends... Ayu may have put this in there for them, as a gift... or as a tribute... especially since it wasn't credited in the credits... There's NO way that the Kinki Kid's people could have let this slip if it wasn't for a reason... Gifts usually aren't credited :)

I mean, this chorus was on the commercial, Ayu would NOT have let the part that was so similar be on TV everyday for them to hear it for sure if she copied :P

it's ok if she copied atleats she used her own style of singing! ^^

DONT FORGET she did not compose it.. Blame the composer, hehe.. Besides, I doubt Ayu listens to Kinki or whatever, she has her own interests and she would not want to support a rival.. Unless its Hikki? And even if she DID copy, at least her version sounds a lot nicer!

who's song came out first? well since everyones saying Ayu copied then I guess Kinki Kids song came out first....

why would AYU want to copy other people in the first place? she doesnt need to. if anything people copy her.

I think Walking Proud is also a rip off of Morning Musume's song "Furusato." Not the chorus or anything, but the opening music. The last minute or so of "Furusato," is the girls "oooh"-ing to the exact same melody!

It's forgivable because there are so many songs on the planet that some are bound to sound alike. It's not really a blame game, so nobody needs to be offended that people are bringing this up. And even if the copying was intentional, Ayu didn't write the music to this song, did she? Haha
Even if she did, she's only human and humans make mistakes!

*sigh* I wish Ayu would compose songs again. :(
