But if it's like "Yume no Uta" with the same melody, arrangements and composition, it's possible?

That's the Ayu/Nami song I was talking about:

The melody is alike, but only in some parts. I reduced the voice of Nami so some could hear the similiarity better.

Hey, thanks for going through the trouble to upload this

I need some time to process the whole recording (plus, I need to go to bed. haha), but I'll let you know what I think soon. My first impression is that it's a very, very close call.

Still, I'm pretty ambivalent about the issue of sampling. Sometimes, it seems too rigidly ridiculous (three chords already count as sampling???). What about lines of poetry, film sequences, etc, which have been repeated so many times? But, anyway, that's just what I think...
