[YT] is GREEN plagiarism?
 

okay...for those of you that know me, you know i'm a total ayu devotee and i will always defend her no matter what but i came across something on youtube that kinda shocked me and made me angry. lol GREEN sounds identical to a song by a chinese artist. i don't know what to think. watch the video and decide for yourself.

^Thread made discussing this, there's only a 30 second preview available of GREEN wait for the full song to make judgements please, and tbh, the only similarity is the way the notes are high at the end of each line, which is similar to EVERY MY STORY BALLAD AS WELL. similarities between GREEN and the Chinese song.

Well, actually they do sound similar, even though GREEN is only a 30 second preview :rolleyes
It's clear that they're very similar, especially in the way they both sing the lyrics almost exactly the same, so I think the fact that GREEN is only a preview is completely irrelevant. . .

It's COMPLETELY relevant. We don't know what the full GREEN sounds like, so we can't make a judgment yet. They aren't all that similar really, they even sound like they're in different keys...

as do i...seeing as the words are sang the same way and the music is the same. i never attacked and said that it WAS a copy so there is no reason to get all defensive. i was just curious about what others thought and i didn't know there was already a thread for it.

Yes, we can make a judgement.
Yeah, it's only a preview, but it's still the song, so we know how it sounds.
It would be different if it were a 5 second preview, but it's not. It's 30 seconds. And that is PLENTY long enough to make a connection with that Chinese song...
And, I didn't say it was a copy either. I'm just saying it sounds similar.

I dun really care, all I know is I like Ayu's GREEN even if it was only a 30 second preview

I agree :)

me too!! i'm completely addicted to the song already! it's always stuck in my head and i hum it every day. the fan-made piano version on youtube is amazing as well.

This news was a 'hit' like a couple weeks ago. Now it is like reading old news.

well, not everyone is on the internet 24-7 looking up ayu news and actually, i've been gone on vacation for over a month and haven't had access to the internet. god forbid that i'm just finding out... >.<

^ I know I was shocked too. But I like Chen Cen Ming from my parents. So I think it is good that Ayu, if it is true, did her song.

ANyway, I don;t mind at all if Ayu do some cover songs. If other famous artists like Namie n Koda did cover some other artists' songs, why can;t Ayumi?

I would actually love to hear Ayu do some cover songs! I think it would be great! :D

it's well-known that ayu has done covers of songs and there is nothing wrong with that. i agree with you.

@ milky: LOL I know right.

Well anyway...staying on topic..I guess we'll just have to see if Ayu says "oh btw, this is a cover!" lol ;)

There was threads about this a while ago...

anyways...did you guys ever thought that it can end up like the 'will' panasonic fx9 cm -> full version of the song? they looped the same part in the cm but the actual song is not like that...so its possible GREEN is like that...we just have to wait for the full version.

Go to cm ->2005...Lumix fx9 (ayu wearing kimono)

^ But the similarity is too similar.

Yeah, that could be!

Thank you.
