taskinst vs. Don't tell me by Hoobastank

[truehappiness]

Even the part where it shifts into rock is the same... It'd be interesting to see how tasuku explains himself. XD

taskinst came out 6 months after the Hoobastank album [May 2006 -> Nov 2006] , but tasuku could've made it before then.

[Not~Yet]

Gawd, that's... almost exactly the same X.x I really liked taskinst, but now it sorta lost its awesomeness for me.
I don't really think tasuku would deliberately copy someone this much. His explanation would most likely be something like he had heard this song somewhere and then he didn't remember he heard it somewhere and thought it was just pure genius inspiration that hit him... Or something like that.

[Sommernacht~]

yeah I've noticed this right away! I even posted it in some forums, but not here haha

it's another tone level, but the pauses and all are exactly the same.

[987654321987]

YEAH it IS exactly the same.
But it is not ayu's fault as she has no inolvement in this.
that is only an interlude.
luckly.
(can u imagine what will happen if the same thing happen to one of her songs. eg 1 LOVE?)

[sitara]

uuh lame rip off!
whyyyyy??

[AyUmIXx]

woww that's slightly the same!!!!!!
just that Hoobastank one is lower a little bit...as for Taskint..higher note~

[ALPHY]

LULZ. tasuku, please explain.

[ImpactBreaker]

Geez, TASUKU will be added to the "shameful, huh?" list along with GEO....what's wrong with these composers? Can't they do things on their own, just steal and take possesion of what other composers did?

Go to youtube and search for "Army Of Lovers - Crucified" and then listen to the ayu's "Pride" chorus for a little surprise

[ownsarai]

This would be a perfect example of why Ayu should bring CREA back.

[apple-pi]

^Agreed! I want CREA back!
Is GEO who composed Free & Easy?

LOL no. GEO composed Pride, which also sampled on another existing song.

GEO also composed a number of songs from (miss)understood, but Ayu got persmission to use those...

But, DANG, those songs sound EXACTLY the same. I mean, with the exception of pitch and some instruments, but other than that, the rhythm, sound, all of that is the same...wow. And, of course, there's no mention in the album about this.

I know. I only mentioned Pride because so far it's the only GEO-ayu song that has been sampled from another existing song (Crucified) that I know of, apparently wiithout the permission of the original group who made the that song. However GEO has several non-ayu songs that sample on many existing songs in his SWEETBOX discography.

[kotora]

I want ayu brings CREA, CREA+DAI, CREA+HAL+DAI, HAL+DAI back...

even though TASUKU is awesome.

[SheFliesHigher]

Wow, this is really something. I'm stunned.

(I don't like LP, BTW) My point being that maybe tasuku is not the culprit.

Anybody else noticed these similarities or have thoughts on it?

This is also pretty disheartening. They are quite similar. Thank you for posting this.

This thread is intense....I don't know what to think @_@

[AyuHamasaki01]

It's scary.

[Coelacanth]

Maybe Ayu found out, and that's why tasuku had no involvement in GUILTY. That's a shame, because he's an excellent arranger. As a composer.. not so great.
