　The agency stated, "Olivia Marsh released her first album 'Meanwhile' on the 13th of this month. Since its release, it has come to light that the double title track ‘Backseat,’ which is included on the album, is similar to Isaac Dunbar's "Onion Boy," which has caused a stir," they stated.

　They continued, "Our company directly compared the two songs and interpreted Isaac Dunbar's claim to have a point. As a result, we have reached an amicable agreement with Isaac Dunbar and are proceeding with the necessary tasks, such as discussing the ownership of the composition and registering the credits so that the original author's rights can be guaranteed.”
