Japanese Pop Music Forum

What do you think about this rip off artist?
His name is joost maglev. I really think that this guy is plagiarizing this Japanese rock/pop artist called Gackt. The lyrics and the music is very similar, and I even see him wearing the same exact or similar clothes that Gackt wore in some of his concerts.
Here’s the video(Listen carefully and compare them):
And then look at this post by Joost himself:

I am a big Gackt fan, and it does appear that he is imitating him quite a lot.
He is a fan he says, so that must be why, however I find that hard to believe.
Upon downloading and listening to both those songs, they are similar to the extreme.
I don’t believe that “parody” remark.
