Recently, an online community post about KISS OF LIFE’s logo for their Japanese album went viral, garnering over 43,000 views.

However, many felt that the logo looked too similar to RIIZE‘s logo.

This caused a fierce debate online among fans.

Our first Japan debut album is really precious, and although each group’s production may have its own thoughts about it, it’s only right to change it if another group has used it before…I was sad to see that their logo made us think of our ‘Lucky’ album….

I don’t understand what they mean by them plagiarizing.  It’s such a common design?

The references might have been similar, but the outcome looks different to me.

Pink and green are common. A four-leaf clover is common. Elongating the L and the Y is common. The light effect is common. Symbols behind the letter are common. Making a Japanese debut is something that most groups will do eventually. But isn’t it a problem if all of these overlap? I don’t understand the people saying that it’s not similar…

However, most netizens felt that the designs were totally different.
