Reznor himself recognised the accidental musical similarity in an interview with David Bowie:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0RQCT69y5s&feature=player_embedded]
<blockquote>'''Trent Reznor''': "There was one point when we were doing the record that I came up with this melody and I thought, '"this is really good,' " and that I couldn't have written it myself. So I played it for [[Flood]] and he said '"that's really good,' " and I said '"that's gotta be somebody else's song.'"
'''David Bowie''': It's from a gin advert I did in Japan!
<br>
'''Trent Reznor''': So I played it for a couple other people and said, '"I think this is something off ''Low'', this just sounds familiar...I don't know what it is.' " So we did it, record's out, & and one day I was talking on the phone and I got ''Scary Monsters'', which came out on Rykodisc finally. And so I put that on and it's got bonus tracks at the end. And I'm listening and this song comes on that, to my horror, it's the same...'"Crystal Japan'."</blockquote>
