taskinst vs. Don't tell me by Hoobastank

[jbrat2219]

Wow I didn't know tasuku copied someone's work
Good thing he doesn't compose often... taskinst was one of my favorite interludes too. I don't think Ayu knows about this but someone should tell her so they can be sure nothing like this happens again

I'd hate to see her end up like Lee Hyo Lee with the whole copy from Britney Spears thing ><; yikes!

COME ON! 2 seconds sound the same (and I'm sure it's the same with that GREEN thing) and CREA+DAI stole?

Ugh, those people. They have no respect.

In all honesty, the users that are making it out to be a big deal are making it more than it is.

It's highly possible that the "music box sound" is part of some vast library of sounds used by arrangers and such.. but the entire feeling of the song is very grunge-y and a lot like the so-called "original" one.. but eh. I hope to see a tasuku composition in the future now.

taskinist is a full blown melodic rip off though =/... It's different than eerily similar choruses. If it was public, he wouldn't be back. Therefore, it can be assumed that his folly isn't known to Ayu or avex, and likely to hoobstank either =/...

If Timbaland can get away with it, I'm pretty sure that tasuku can get away with it.

In the Asian pop scene, I don't think it's dealt with as heavily as it is in the American one.. like, sure, your company can totally suspend you for plagiarizing someone's literary work COMPLETELY (see Natsumi Abe) but in the realm of music, it seems like they let a lot of things pass.

I mean just look at all the stuff that happens in Korea and no one really does anything about it. (musically and in terms of image)

What's the name of the original song? I'll have to look it up and listen for myself.

Here is the video that brought it to everyone's attention. (I remember finding it on YouTube a day or so after it was posted and thinking "Wha? Eh? Eh. -posts on AHS-" The song is called "Don't Tell Me".

Oh Jeez I didn't know it was THAT bad O_O.... That is the definition of "copy" I could think of a million ways he could have made it sound "similar" and not copied if he liked it that much. I don't think it was an accident or a mistake either. There's no way you can make up something and it just happens to sound exactly like another composition! >,<;

I mean the whole kiki/will thing and GREEN/chinese song (can't remember the name) thing have similarities, but there is no excuse for taskinst.

I think it's a big deal as far as his integrity is concerned, but I don't think Ayu will get flamed by this, cause she pretty much had nothing to do with the song, there weren't even lyrics. It's just sad that, like others have said, her name is on it

I'd hate to think if Avex/Ayu found out he would be totally fired, cause he does make awesome arrangements.... I think if they don't let him compose, or check up on his future compositions, it'll be okay.

This is true.. for the most part. But his name is on it as well [task(tasuku)inst].

I mean people on YouTube blame Ayu for it but, I'm sure they don't know wtf they're talking about. lol.

I've been trying to look for any information about it, like if anyone else other than here / YouTube knows about it (or even cares about it for that matter).. and it seems like.. no one does. lol. I tried "浜崎 あゆみ フーバスタンク taskinst タスク tasuku don't tell me and so on" and nothing came up.

If any of you want to check on his other compositions to see if he's plagiarized for those that he also composed for.. go ahead.

The compositions are labeled with 作曲 next to them.

I hope it stays quiet then! And if it is exposed, I hope they place the blame on him and not Ayu. I mean if no one seems to know or care about this, how could she know? I'm still disappointed in him, but that doesn't change how I feel about other songs he's worked on. And I'm still excited for GREEN

[MissElin_]

Well. GREEN and the chinese song isnt that much alike imo. Yes the firs notes are the same but the rest isnt. GREEN goes up in the end of the first sentense while the chinese song goes down.

Anyway, this tasuku interlude from secret is extreme. But these kind of things happends. Its like Pride and Crucified. Soooo alike. Then we have a veeery good example from this years ESC (eurovision song contest) where switzerland came with a song that the singer (according to himself) had wrote by himself but that song was exaclty like a song that was huge in Sweden 2 years ago sung by a swedish girl named Amy Diamond. I mean the verse, chours, bridge, everything was exaklty the same!

Actually, I think composers can compose very similar songs without even be aware of it. Maybe they heard the song somewhere witouth taking notice of it. And one day they woke up with the melody in their head and wrote it out. I think that is highly possible. I mean, that guy from switzerland simply MOST have heard Amys song without taking notice of it cuz its just so exaklty.

But well, like I said before, I dont think GREEN (from the little part we have heard of it) and the chinese song doesnt sound that much alike. Sure the first notes but then, no.

Well, this is something that I think that if it ever does come up, it wouldn't be made a big deal of anyway. I mean, like I said before, Secret came out in 2006. If it hasn't been 'revealed' to Ayu / avex / anyone, it's probably never going to be..

I wonder if tasuku would be like "WHAT THAT'S THE SAME AS MY-- wtf?" if we told him about it. lol.

Random songs:
tasuku's "Kasumi" composed for 369:


tasuku's 帰り道 composed for 369:


His sound is very indies.

Well, the guy from switzerland got just like that when some swedish journalist played Amys song for him in ESC. So why not?

[jbrat2219]

Hahahaha yeah, maybe it came to him in his sleep while someone was playing it and when he woke up he was like "EUREKA!!!" Then come to find out, it belongs to hoobastank xD; LOL

[truehappiness]

It's very unlikely that two totally separate entities can come up with the same melody or w/e, but it's possible..

[jbrat2219]

Maybe tasuku is a long lost twin brother of the lead singer of hoobastank, isn't he half Japanese? Twins often think alike, right? lol Wouldn't that be insane if it were true hahaha

Well, obviously the guy from switzerland could. He got really nervous when the swedish played Amys song to him. I almost got sad for him cuz he was so proud that he had writen the song all by himself. But they are exaklty like each other. Every note in the whole songs. Crazy!

[truehappiness]

I did say it was possible, it's just VERY uncommon.

[jbrat2219]

I know sometimes when I think of things that I feel are my own, I sadly find out they're not xD; Sometimes great minds think exactly alike hahaha

Yeah, it was that I meant. I mean, when these kind of things happends, they simply must have heard it without taking notice of it and then just woke up with the melody all done. Weird really.
