[NEWS] Namie Amuro Accused Of Plagiarizing G-Dragon
2011.11.09
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.

Greater access to information has given people more control over how they connect with others, while mobile devices have made those opportunities available at almost any moment. Read more
Aviator does not behave like an old casino game moved onto a screen. It feels more like something built for the screen from the start. The plane takes off, the multiplier rises, and the player has one decision to make. Cash out now, or wait and risk the round ending before they press the button. That is the basic idea behind crash games. They strip the round down to timing. The game shows the risk in real time instead of hiding it behind a spin or a dealt card. Read more
