As much as I dislike music like this, I guess it's okay for him to do it considering they're both from IDJ. I mean, c'mon, we don't really know what happens behind the scenes. Maybe Hikki did give consent or something. Who knows right? Let's not jump to conclusions. Or perhaps in his album booklet, he gives credit to Hikki? I'm just hoping, lol. If the song becomes famous, I'd hate to see how people ignore the original composer of the song but that's quite of unlikely since he's an indie artist? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sampling is really fine because like what Shurikid said, Utada samples stuff A LOT. Okay maybe not that much but she does sample stuff often. And anyways, why is it that people these days like to sing about New York (Empire State of Mind) and there's this one, London? Just wondering.

Back to the main point, yes, IMHO the rapper kind of destroyed the essence of Sanctuary/Passion but it's not like it's gonna affect a lot of things. If we don't like it or perhaps DETEST what he's doing, let's just close the song or video and play Utada's Sanctuary or Passion instead.
