Seeing as the site is in Japanese, I can't really tell if this was some kind of runner up winner or just an entry, but one of the entries for the PSO Illustration Olympics or whatever it's called looks like a a stolen and edited version of a pic I requested SHINE make for me (see sig or here for the original).

Here's the contest entry.

This picture is from Shine. After she did your pic she liked the pose so much, she edited and played around with it a little and put in her FOmar Rain into the pose.

I hope that explains your confusion.
This picture is also on her gallery where she explained what happened.

Ah, I noticed that earlier today...

I was wondering why it seemed rather familiar.

Whoa very similar. o_o

Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

I actually suspected it might've been Shine's own doing. It hit me about 30 seconds after I made the post.. really. I'm serious. >_>;

It apologizes for having confused you.
Although it considered that it would make other pictures participate in the Olympic Games, it chose to make the favorite picture participate.
If you think that you are unpleasant, please allow in how.
