Plagiarism at it's most shameless. And it's not Toni's fault.. i absolutely hate the dude who still had the guts to call himself the "composer" of this song. It almost (but not quite) ruined the memories that i had of Utada Hikaru's First Love. SMH..
narinig niyo ba yung KASAMA KANG TUMANDA? tagalized version namn GROW OLD WITH YOU by Adam SAndler for the movie the wedding singer! si toni din ang may gawa!
its "first love" by hikaru utada, but i agree that both songs have the same tune. I believe First love is the oringinal one, it came out in 1999 and gonzaga's song came out in 2006.
the composer of this song actually did state that "We belong" is nothing but based on utadas original. but with out being said, people will always recognize utadas as the best, with out question
"We Belong" is a song that is very similar to a song by Utada Hikaru (First Love [released in 1999]). The melody and sound of both these songs are very compatible.
This is not a cover of First Love, a cover is when you sing the actual song not taking the melodies and change the beats around and add your own lyrics in.
If there was no permission granted or no credit for the artist you took it from is plagiarism.
In the Philippines, ABS-CBN's Star Records plagiarized Hikaru Utada's song "First Love" in the song "We Belong", which was performed by Filipino singer Toni Gonzaga.
If you want to see the actual site type this on wiki's seach bar..
so you're saying it's ok to plagiarize? is that it? why don't you think about the person who originally made this song? what if it was your song they stole and turned it into something patchetic like this? What would you feel? Mas ok pa mga filipino song writers ng mga 80's may originality. At least original mga kanta nila hinde copycats like mga present songwriters.
lol, how dumb could you be?.. you didn't get my point.. bleehh.. all that i said that it was a good song, and i don't fckn give a damn if it's plagiarized or not, as long as it sounds good, xD..
looks who's talking dumb. so u don't give a crap huh? thing about this quote: "for evil to prevail, is for the good people to do nothing". ninakawan na nga hahayaan mo lang? what kind of mentality do you have? no wonder the philippines is full of corrupt individuals.
this just proves it. not only are you an idiot but also shallow headed and uncivilized. it takes a spark to make fire. if you don't take a stand nothing will happen.
ate anung website o kya program ang gnmit moh pra mgwa tong video na toh??..please poh pki sbi naman poh skin kelangan koh lng please pho???..<3 :}} ^_^
wag niyo tirahin yung singer dhil knanta niya yung kantang to. Malay niyo, merong siyang rights from Utada Hikaru's side. Star Records is not too stupid not to ask permission from the original artist.
To my never-going-away crush, Jesse. I love you soo much..It hurts..I hurt when you hurt. I cried when you turned me down. I love you STILL. No matter what.. I don't know what I would do if I had nothing to stare at during class...We Belong. Together. Now. Or else. My heart. Will. Explode.
She took the song from Utada Hikaru's First Love! Filipinos have really good voices but can't seem to sing their own songs. They should start writing their own music and get more genres. Love ballads and covers won't get you recognized in the world. It's a waste of talent...
engrmaan19 sounds like you an engineer. Don't be so rude as if you are not a Filipino too. Each one of us has his own preferences in music. Toni is just a singer and maybe she doesn't even know Utada. There are also other songs that really sounds the same and even the lyrics seems like the same. There are more than a thousand composers around the globe. They might use same lines and notes but not totally the same as the other's have done. BTW can you even compose? Try it. PEACE OUT!
Is this a fan vid or the Artist's compilation? Nicely done, and the song is great. This song could be licensed at Bridal Conventions for the next ten years of weddings worldwide. I think it is perfect.
wow. that is so rude. if you have nothing nice to say, then please keep your mouth shut. and how are you so sure that they stole the song from Utada Hikaru?? im a big fan of both so there shouldnt be sides to this. and im pretty sure that they have permission for what they did. its not like this is the first time its happened. have you checked out Arashi's "We Can Make It" and Ricki-Lee's "Love Is All Around"?? they also sound very similar.
be more gentle with your comments respect the people bihind the song even toni gonzaga,hindi nya kasalanan na translated lang yan..peace guys kung comment lang din,sana maganda naman..
Ang tanong dito sino mas tatangkilikin nyo pinoy o dayuhan? what is the sense of arguing? im not a fan of Toni but here is my question,do we really have to speak vigorously? be more intelligent enough for not hurting others, just have some respect...thats all peace out
i really really really like this song

and you will see more out there.
Besides it's not her fault.

pano malalaman pag plagiarized ang kanta?
lyrics = 1/3 ng lyrics ay magkapareho =)
we belong = negative. walang kinopya sa lyrics ng first love
music = 45 seconds ng kanta ay magkatunog
we belong = negative 17 seconds ng chorus match sa first love.
buy original album of this song. read the content inside.
