I know this kind of thing happens all the time and I'm not saying taskebab is bad. I actually find it to be an enjoyable interlude. But the fact the instrumental and arrangement are practically identical bothers me a little bit. But that's just me  |
If it bothers you, fine, but that doesn't make it plagiarism. What they did in taskebab was take a guitar rift from a song and worked it into a new composition. I don't see how that's plagiarism. If taskebab was an outright copy of Aerodynamic, then yeah, that would be plagiarism. What Ayu did was take a sample and gave it a fresh new sound.
Especially when Daft Punk apparently does the same thing... So if it's not okay for Ayu to do it, it's not okay for Daft Punk to do it either.
Also, Protip: If you play them over each other, they sound different.
