I remember back in the day, there was this TV commercial airing non-stop on french TV with DJ Shadow's song, so when Will leaked in 2005 prior to the single release, I was like "Wait a minute..."
(I don't mind if some don't hear the similarities between these two tracks)

It's definitely related... And I'm not surprised tasuku is involved in this track. As much as I'm always impressed by his arrangements which are always standing out in terms of creativity, I have to admit he really likes to recycle stuff from other artists, or he is using free samples a lot.

BTW this thread is really interesting : )
Didn't know ayu was sampled by other artists as well.
