We can't know if it's legally sampled without seeing the credits in the booklet. But it sounds like a legit sample to me, so I don't see what the big deal is.
Anggun recently sampled "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" in her song "Hymne à la vie." I haven't seen the booklet for her "Elevation" album but my guess is that it's a legal sample. Most of the time it is.
It's not plagiarism if permission has been granted. We can't know if permission has been granted until we see the credits for this song in Porta's cd booklet.

"tenshi (Angel)". The melodies are similar.
No credit is given to KK's songwriter in the "MY STORY" booklet, so my guess is that it's an accident or a coincidence. Or a ripoff, I don't know.
