Net users claim music video character resembles bulletin-board art
The popular "Noma Neko" character from the hit song "Koi no Maiahi" is causing a stir among Internet users, who claim that it resembles the "Mona" character frequently used on "Ni-Channel," Japan's biggest Internet bulletin board. "Noma neko" appeared in the promotion video for the song "Koi no Maiahi," the Japanese title for "Dragostea Din Tei," by Moldovan band O-Zone. This month, T-shirts and other goods featuring the feline character went on sale. However, tens of thousands of critical comments have appeared on Ni-Channel, saying that the character is being used exclusively by a specified firm. Avex, the music giant handling the song, said that "Noma Neko" was an adaptation of "Mona" and other "ASCII art" characters, which are drawn using only the letters and symbols on keyboards. "'Noma Neko' was animated with inspiration from 'Mona' and other ASCII art that has become familiar on Internet message boards, and with these products it was made into a character with new added scenarios," an Avex message posted on a shopping site said. Avex says that the use of ASCII art characters that already existed "should not be restricted," but debate is continuing on Internet message boards with many users still unable to agree with the firm's stance. Avex officials said they had no intention of halting sales of "Noma Neko" goods in spite of the large number of critical comments. "A lot of people posted criticism on Internet message boards. We don't usually make comments on message boards, but we put a comment from our firm on a shopping site. We are not thinking of halting sales of the goods," a company representative said.

Now HMV "Inspired" ? O-Zone's new release uses a image that resembles "Onigiri (riceball)" ASCII art, widely used in the internet.
O-Zone's"DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI" now famous for its "Nomaneko" matter is facing a new woe. Its next release, "愛のデ・ラ・ノーチェ"'s image character again resembles a popular ascii art from 2-channel.
The problematic image character was placed on the web site of the "Dance & Soul" corner of HMV Japan. Below the catch copy claiming the next release, there was the character closely akin to the ascii art "Onigiri (riceball)" widely used in BBS such as 2-channel. Though it is currently deleted, the image was placed on the page for a while during the 12th of September.
Avex, the selling agency of "DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI" and "愛のデ・ラ・ノーチェ" claims immunity of the character. On the other hand, HMV Japan has stated that they used the image when searching materials for the new release of O-Zone. This picture was deleted about time when both party made their clarification.
According to HMV, the images they use for new releases are some times provided by the record labels, and some times developed on their own. They have clarified that usually when creating on their owns, they upload the content after having approval from the record label, though that process has been skipped this time. So Avex did not give any approval, nor HMV made any affirmation of the image's copyright holder when the website was uploaded.
However, HMV have claimed that it is not clear if they have searched the internet, or their own database for the ascii art, and have not made clear where the image came from.
By the way, Avex did not give any comments to the character "Nomatako" which resembles Ayumi Hamasaki's logo, born to stand up to the "Nomaneko" matter.
