Plagiarism claims
Allegedly, "Right Here Waiting for You 2010" was plagiarized from the 1997 Japanese song "Sonomama no Kimi de Ite" ("Stay the Way You Are") by Mayo Okamoto, resulting in its use as the Expo theme being suspended.{{cite web |url=http://www.chinapost.com.tw/china/local-news/shanghai/2010/04/21/253413/Shanghai-Expo.htm |title=Shanghai Expo song cut after plagiarism charges |publisher=The China Post |date=21 April 2010 |accessdate=22 April 2010}}{{cite web |url=http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201004190344.html |title=Expo song hit by plagiarism rumor |publisher=The Asahi Shimbun |date=20 April 2010 |accessdate=23 April 2010}}{{cite web |url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100419a6.html |title=World Expo song halted by plagiarism row|publisher=The Japan Times |date=19 April 2010 |accessdate=23 April 2010}} After discussions with Okamoto's management, a compromise was reached such that "Sonomama no Kimi de Ite" is now the official song of the 2010 Expo.{{cite web |url=http://www.japan-zone.com/news/2010/04/21/okamoto_mayo_hit_becomes_2010_expo_tune.shtml |title=Okamoto Mayo Hit Becomes 2010 Expo Tune|publisher=Japan Zone |date=21 April 2010 |accessdate=29 April 2010}}
