Top Japanese celebrity Amuro Namie (age 34) is being accused to plagiarizing a song by Big Bang's leader G-Dragon (age 23). According to Japanese media sources on November 9th, "There are suspicions of Amuro Namie's new song "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!", set for a December 7th release, having been plagiarized off of G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" song. Two years ago, G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" was also accused of plagiarizing a song by US hip hop artist Florida." This isn't the first time Namie faces such charges. She had a similar case pop up over her song "Black Diamond", when it was linked with being familiar to Janet Jackson's "Feedback". Critical netizens have been taking to the net: "Another one copied?", "The melodies are almost identical", "We're both Japanese, but I can't deny and protect her", "Why copy k-pop out of all things?". On the other end, some are supporting the singer: "Totally different", "A bit of a stretch to say it's plagiarized". Namie's reps have yet to release an official statement. Namie Amuro's Sit! Stay!

Why copy kpop all the time when they buy songs sometimes anyways jkjk Anyways, im sure Namie's role is to sing the song only. Oh blee.. i think its Namie Amuro :, not Namuro Amie
LOL.. if those people are saying that it's plagiarized, isn't Heart Breaker a plagiarized song too than, from flo rida g-dragon flo rida(right round) plagiarism It's just so common these days, everyone is using someone's stuffs.
the link didn't seem to work when clicked. The video got removed already by the user, sigh. Well these days all music seem to sound the same, the songs are all based upon these things: sex, love and life.etc Sometimes the beat and themlot sound the same too, coincidence much?
