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)
