The Japanese media is reporting that some fans feel J-Pop star Amuro Namie‘s new single, “Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!“ sounds suspiciously like G-Dragon‘s “Heartbreaker“.
This isn’t the first time Amuro Namie has been accused of plagiarism. Fans previously argued that her song “Black Diamond” sounded a lot like Janet Jackson’s “Feedback“.
Korean and Japanese netizens are split over the scandal, and are writing comments online such as, “The introduction is really similar“, “Another plagiarism scandal?”, “How embarassing would that be“, “Similar, but not enough to be considered plagiarism“, and “Just because the intro is similar does not mean she plagiarized the song“.
Amuro Namie’s agency has yet to make an official statement on the issue.
If you can recall, G-Dragon himself was under fire with accusations of plagiarizing Flo Rida‘s “Right Round” but that was all put to rest when they performed the track together.
Listen to the portion of the song in question below and toss us your comments below!
