'walking proud' a Kinki rip-off?

I was pointed out by a friend that the chorus of Ayu's 'walking proud' sounds a lot like the chorus of this song by Kinki Kids. It's very interesting how similar the vocal melody is, and in my opinion it is very similar...

Here is the chorus of the Kinki Kids song.

Looks like Ayu needs to find some other composers/arrangers, she's looking like a copy-cat lately.

Hmm maybe it was intentional...the final product sounds nice so I don't really mind It actually sounds better than the chorus of the Kinki song so I guess it improved Maybe she could find some new composers but hey what if she ends up picking the recent DAI's composer who makes interesting verses but some of the most horrible chorus I've ever listened to (talking about their latest release Need Your Love)? That would be even worse, so I don't really think we need to complain in that part.

Just like how everyone said ayu's ver is better. At least it is not like how Goto maki made her song (Afurechau be in love) sound similar to one of Jessica simpson's song (I forgot the song title for Jesssica).

it's just the chorus(not very similar about 60% notes), not the whole song , if it's the whole song, then is called rip-off,but it's NOT, actually, it doesen't really matter, many songs' some part is simaliar to other songs

i always don't understand why you guys say stupid thing like this

ONLY 60% NOTES ARE THE SAME(you can count that, i don't think it is VERY similar !)

If the KinKi Kids handlers thought it was a copy there would have been a lawsuit by now.

Exactly Plus ayu has a good relationship with Kinki Kids or so it seems (they all sang SEASONS together once).
Plus the lyrics are so different.

Ya i find Kinki and Ayu very similar... i like the Kinki song, but Walking Proud is sooo much bettter....

I have a suggestion for someone who can easily read kanji-! Find out thier composers and labels!!! Because I don't think Ayumi makes the background music, she only writes the lyrics!
