    People on the net said that "On The First Beat" theme song : ��夢想的天空 is copied from another song. This song was a duet called Butterfly, a song by Japanese singer Akanishi Jin and 田�. One part of the song is about 90% the same as the theme song of On The First Beat.
    Also people on the net made fun of the lyrics in the song that was sang by Ron Ng, Deep Ng and Kenny Kwan. A part of the lyrics was "Oh Can You Feel Our Sweet and Tears" and the people on the net think that "Sweat and Tears" sounded like "Spaghetti"!

    Here are both songs:

    I think that the people on the net are a little too picky sometimes.. I clearly hear "sweat and tears" and not "spaghetti"..

    As for if the song is copied.. there are similar elements but that is actually very common.. a lot of American songs sound similar and no one complains.

    Does it matter even if it sounds similar? As long as it's good music, who cares?

    they both sound different, JIn and ueda's Butterfly is a rock song and On the Beat Theme song is like pop song. but Jin say its sound similar but not the same as theirs
