Plagarism ayumi VS Porta

[jbrat2219]

I heard Tohoshinki got the rights for MIROTIC and such, but their song Lovin' you sounds JUST like Ayu's End roll... I figured since they're label mates, that was permitted as well. But in Korea there was the Hyori / Britney Spears thing...

lol but still half of the (miss)understood melodies was taken from a SWEETBOX album.
I think it was Ladies Night, Rainy day, Beautiful day, pride
and one more I think. The ooes from Ayu are much better though.

There was something similar with Tohoshinkis song Jumon.. it was the same as Sarah Connors (German Singer) "Under my Skin".
But they sold the rights for the song in both contries

it's not really the same at all. They are all properly credited and it's common knowledge where the songs came from and how all of the compositions are being used by everyone involved.

^ It's pretty obvious since she took Geo's compositions and used them for her album.

Exactly. Usually when artists do a cover or "borrow" from other songs they provide credit and the original artist/composer/etc receives some attention. Sometimes they even have to pay. When Ami did a cover of "Potential Breakup Song", Ali and Aj even came to Japan.

So I see I'm not the only one who noticed that around here...
