I'm pretty sure there is a lot of others from Budokai 2 and 3, since he collaborated with Tower of power, so I'm assuming more than what has been posted up till now.Shiyonasan wrote:Found another one. Embrace the Blue Sky from Budokai 3 sounds like Journey's Be Good to Yourself. Take a listen:
Budokai 3 ~ Embrace the Blue Sky
Journey ~ Be Good to Yourself
If you think of Embrace the Blue Sky while listening to Be Good to Yourself, you can really hear the similarity, especially in the first 14 seconds. It's really uncanny how much these two songs sound alike. Yamamoto must be paying an homage to Journey...

Yeah, they really are alike. Although it does sound a bit more different than the other songs Yamamoto borrowed.Shiyonasan wrote:Found another one. Embrace the Blue Sky from Budokai 3 sounds like Journey's Be Good to Yourself. Take a listen:

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
And this is why I love Yamamoto so much.
He takes already proven, awesome songs and somehow manages to "remix" them into something more awesome. Though such seems to be the case with a lot of Japanese musicians.

In that same vid you should check out Track 6 starting at 5:13
USSJ Future Trunks made another thread, where he compared it to this.
Yamamoto probably drew "inspiration" from Box Office hits in 2009 to make the DBK "O"ST.

On that note, I don't think this is an instance of Yamamoto's laziness. They sound similar, but I wouldn't say it's a rip-off.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
Yeah, it can be a coincidence (notice how lot of pop and dance tracks are simmilar to each other without concrete adaptating, sampling or adapting each other) but there is too much simillarities for my taste with Yamamoto's music.

What would made you think that Yamamoto's remixes are better than originals?AoiKageNoChikara wrote:
Also, he tends to "remake" the songs or musical scores better than the originals xD,
You're saying as if all of his remixes are better.
I disagree with you completely. Not all of them are better.

Cells theme from Super Butouden 2 is a rip off of One of these days bu Pink floyd.
Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
Keiji Mutoh Theme
Super Butouden 2 - Trunks theme
Kai OST 3 - 16. A Grim Fate
Unknown BGM Played in a Japanese TV variety show
I noticed the second one while watching TV in the beginning of this year, but have no idea where it is originally from.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
Trunks' Theme appears to simply draw inspiration from Keiji Mutoh's Theme.
A Grim Fate is identical, though. :/

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
Eh, I find that Beatles comparison a bit of a stretch. Too much other stuff going on in the arrangement, different ending notes entirely, etc.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
The second comment on the first video points it out, but Daybreak Battle from Budokai 3 sounds like a slightly sped up version of Barracuda by Heart during the first 28 seconds of the song. At 29 seconds, Daybreak Battle brings in a lead guitar and becomes its own song from there. Anyway, here are the songs to compare:
Budokai 3 - Daybreak Battle
Heart - Barracuda
Budokai 3 - Daybreak Battle
Heart - Barracuda
