Niki played a song from her MP3 collection,
Over the stereo system during work.
J: Wah I didn't know you listen to Jay Chou.
N: Huh?
J: Isn't this Jay Chou?
N: No, this is 'Her Space Holiday'.
J: No way! The intro is exactly the same!
Compare the following:
The Weight of The World by Her Space Holiday,
And 以父之名 (performed by Jay Chou).
So it seems like one of these 'Asian music genius',
Has completely ripped off,
The first few seconds of the music arrangement,
From the indie side of the Western world again.
A simple internet search,
Showed that the arrange for the latter,
Has even won an award for his works.
It's no wonder that Albert Einstein once said,
The secret to creativity,
Is knowing how to hide your sources.

i encountered "the weight of the world" while listening to an online radio station alike last.fm and immediately went to google to see if there's any records of the similarities. i only found your blog. i went to wiki the album launch and jay chou released yifuzhiming in 2003, whereas the weight of the world was in 2005. so unless the song was released much earlier than the album, it was her space holiday that ripped off jay chou. if you listen to the entire song, the intro and ending riff does not match the song in weight of the world at all. so next time, before you claim that jay chou or any other artists for that matter rips off another, you should research more carefully. isn't the year song was released the easiest indicator of who ripped off who? of course there could be other factors like original composer of the music. oh and then there's also that maybe wiki isn't accurate at all, but im not going to go google that far, so yea.
