Asim Azhar has gained a lot of popularity recently. Especially after his song, Jo Tu Na Mila, crossed 100 million views on YouTube. However, someone discovered that the song is a rip-off of a Studio Ghibli Production soundtrack.
The singer was already receiving a lot of heat for his new song with Shamoon Ismail and Young Stunners. And now a Facebook user has pointed out that the song that did get everyone’s love was really just plagiarized.
He wrote,
Does anyone from Studi Ghibli, Kiki’s Delivery Service know that Asim Azhar has plagiaried the OST to make a song? Credit goes to Dua Khan for making this discovery.
The soundtrack was composed by Joe Hisaishi for the animated feature film Kiki’s Delivery Service. He has also composed soundtracks for famous movies Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. The Japanese composer and music director composed A Town With An Ocean View in the year 1989.
Let’s listen to the music side by side:

It is evident from these videos that the original soundtrack, A Town With An Ocean View, is the backbone for Asim Azhar’s Jo Tu Na Mila.
