Rina Aiuchi and Ayumi Hamasaki ~ The Doubled Hearted Mirror ~
 

Mirror - the song we love.

The Xylophone (or an instrument with a similar sound) in the beginning of the song ... The same melody is featured for a brief moment in Rina Aiuchi's song "Double Hearted"

Listen to the song, But it is in the song slight after 30 Seconds.

Not saying Ayu (or Yuta Nakano :D) copied. Probably sampled that beat, seeing as it's cool.

So yeah, Mirror's Xylophone melody is originally from Rina Aiuchi's song "Double Hearted"

Though you all might like to know.

CREDIT GOES TO "Shiva" FOR POINTING THIS OUT TO ME.

i confirm ^^ it's really a nice discovery

It sounds similar, but not the same to me. The melody in Mirror goes higher and the beats are slightly different, but other than that they sound pretty much the same. Interesting find.

hmm i havent heard about rina auchi's song

HAHA. Rina's friggin' awesome, and even if they did use similar ideas, it's kinda cool that ayu and her team knows about her. :D

OMG. Ayu stole.

can i listen to it? where to download the song?

In the words of someone awesome

"Mirror is revenge for Ruby Stars"

:roflmao - that person IS awesome. XD

for those who don't follow Rina, I imagine this genius was picking at the fact that "Ruby stars" is an indirect rip off of "A Song for XX" :laugh

OMG I want to hear Ruby Stars now. xD

Ruby stars is an awesome song XD

I'm venturing that it's a free-for-all sample if nothing else.

Psh, when I started that thread noting the similarities between 'A Song For XX' and 'Ruby Stars' here, everyone was like "NO NUBFACE THEY DON'T SOUND SIMILAR AT ALL WHATCHU TALKIN 'BOUT!?" At least then.
