I don’t know Toro personally, nor do I listen to his music. However, I happened to come across the video in which he plagiarized Gackt’s song and I was extremely embarrassed, for Toro that is. I mean, Gackt is a very talented, popular, Japanese Rock musician. Did he, or whoever copied the instrumentals, honestly think that they could get away with it? BAKA! If you’re going to be “inspired” by someone, you MUST credit them. Plain and simple. No if’s, and’s, or but’s. Gackt writes and composes each and every one of his songs. I don’t think he’d appreciate it very much if someone took his hardwork, supposedly “made it their own,” and did not give him credit. That’s absolutely ridiculous!

To all you fangirls that think it’s ok for artists to steal each other’s music, you are all wrong. It is not ok, just as it is not ok for you to cheat on an exam or download music illegally. How would you feel if you spent months working hard on something, only for someone to steal it and not give you credit? You would be upset too, right? Either way you look at it, it is wrong.

To Cookie: everyone is entitled to their opinion as to why they like/dislike a musician’s lyrics. As an artist, he has chosen to put himself out there, thus he is susceptible to criticism. Also, us “fanatics” appreciate music that is of the artists own creation. That is what we support. We do not, or at least I don’t, support music that is a cheap imitation of another artist’s work. Also, there is a difference between being “inspired” and down right “taking” someone’s music. If Toro was “inspired,” the instrumentals would be similar, not EXACTLY the same. That is the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism. And whether or not we were there when Toro wrote/copied the song is irrelevant. The evidence speaks for itself and Toro is held responsible because his name is on that song and he was part of the group that stole the instrumentals, regardless of whether or not he was the ACTUAL person that stole it.

There, that’s my two cents. Peace.

WOW people
and i thought this was a nice, sweet blog that supports all the hard work of singers that provide music to keep music fanatics alive and breathing….

NO ONE can ever be exactly sure what really went on when Toro wrote (or for anti-fans who might gun me down, “copied” from Gackt) that song, so I don’t think anyone has the right to criticize Toro. Unless, of course, you happened to be THERE when he wrote/copied the song…*raises eyebrows*

To Sky: You say that fangirls only like his face? Well i have not even SEEN his face in my entire life (though i plan on google-ing him after i finish writing this thing) so I’m sorry to say that you are just stereotyping his fans…I admit some of his lyrics are not the most creative on earth, but he’s a pop/rock singer…most pop/rock singers aren’t. If you are so against his lyrics, why don’t you go a become an intelligent singer and create your own simple songs? Then i wouldn’t be able to complain…

“Track 5 狂爱战队 is inspired from Gackt’s Vanilla.”
INSPIRED huh?? so.. i copy my fren’s hmwk, n i tell my tcher “nay, i didnt copy. my work is soo000ooo supiciously similar to her’s coz her work INSPIRED ME”

“when Toro said he created this songs, I think he meant he wrote THE LYRICS—NOT the music! ”
if tts so, the 词 credit toro but AT LEAST 曲 credit gackt?!

“I don’t care what you guys say about him”
“who cares if he cpoie other people’s song”
“i’m a true fan of Toro, so i dont care what others say about him”
so actually, u fangirls only like his face, and not whether he really has the “Stuffs” and “intelligience” to even CREATE a simple song. kakkoi neh?~

“it’s not only him who copy. Many artist out there do the same too. ”
but AT LEAST they had the decency n dignity to credit back to the original person?!

omg…taking somebody else’s song and claimed it as his own without a single credit to gackt?

to those who support toro fans,copied means copied.do you think that it’s alright for you to copy for exams?that applies to this music.copied means copied,there’s no any other excuses like other singer has also copied…

it’s either toro credits gackt or not.but even if he credits gackt,he is still a poser!烂人一个！

shame on toro…fancy taking somebody else’s work and claimed as his own!does this means that artists can plagraised?

i have not listen to his song and i don’t plan to listen to it anyway,but plagraism was a serious offence…if he wants to have that song in his album,he should at least make the effort by crediting the music to gackt and not taking the music and claimed it as his own…maybe the lyric is written by him but obviously the music is not…

He told the mass media that it was his own composition 2 months ago…so unless someone updates me on whether he did credit Gackt or not…if not i am gonna believe that he’s juz another thief who steal other ppl works and claim it as he own…because i think this is juz too much!Besides, i dun consider it as “own version” because obviously the instrumental intro was a copy and paste work.

even if toro claims he wrote the lyrics and not necessarily claiming he wrote the music. doesn’t matter who was the one originally copying gackt’s vanilla… if that track 5 is to exist…. there MUST be some sort of credit somewhr to gackt…. or else SHAME on TYPHOON

my bad about all those mistakes….^_0 toro is the best! who cares if he copied other people’s song. at least he made his own version out of it……and it doesn’t matter, cause it’s not only him who copy. Many artist out there do the same too.
