The song is not completely copied at all, the intro is similar, that's it. It's not even the hook line. There are thousands of songs using the same standard "bass line" for dance music, polka etc. because this is generic and cannot be copyrighted. This intro is in between generic accomp music and a hook line IMO. I'm not saying it's not sounding the same, but it's not necessarily a copyright infringement or "lack of creativity" as some people are blowing this completely out of proportion.

Was Shakira's whenever wherever a copyright infringement of that pink floyd song or whoever it was just because the intro tones are almost exactly the same? No. And that was even a huge hit. from youtube reg. hoobs and ayus: I'm not going to post more about this.. Will. Try. To. Ignore. From. Now. Maybe we could have a "I'm heartbroken OMG what did ayu/collaborateurs COPY!?!?!?! :" where we could gather all this drees imitation, copy music, carrying the same purse, copying her own shoes twice..

yeah ^^ I mean has anyone heard the obvious similarity of sweetbox's ADDICTED's bass and the one in 50 cent's In da club? In the end it turned out that GEO actually used that bg music for an old sweetbox song way before In da club was recorded. Tasuku's composition might have been made years before it was actually included on Ayu's album, and even if it wasn't, tasuku has done some amazing arrangements for ayu!
