The following sites have stolen my lyrics & review. If you don't want your site to be featured in this plagiarism section, please: Click here for examples of giving credit

1. This JAM site "borrowed" my romaji lyrics without permission or without giving me the credit. It's quite obvious that these are done by me. Look at the typos, who the hell can make the same kind of typos without copying???

2. This other JAM site took my lyrics too. I'm the only one who mistakenly called that Pop Life song "Lunch in Savannah," when the actual song is called "Ranch in Savannah." Also, they also don't have the lyrics for "Omedetou," "Yuugure," or "Egoist" like me.

3. Check out this review by Akuma (I think the name says it all) of Amuro Namie's Genius 2000 CD. Then take a look at mine. This pisses me off more because I had to think of what to write for this review, and this person didn't merely "borrow" it, the bastard took the credit!!!.

4. Some time last year, I mentioned that this site put a lot of album lyrics from my site without permission or credit or a link to my site. I emailed the webmaster about it & asked him to remove them, which he did. He told me that they were submitted by some people in his mailing list & didn't bother to check if they were from another site. Well, suddenly they reappeared again, with another album lyric of mine added (Yaida Hitomi's Air/Cook/Sky / my romaji) so this site will be on the Plagiarism list until the webmaster removes all of the album lyrics that I did from his site.
