Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
You know, we always harp on Yamamoto but even the soundtrack for Death Note ripped off music. L's theme and the one of the Exorcist's songs, Tubular bells. Must be standard practice huh?
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

As good as Yamammoto's score is, I'm glad I held off on buying the older Z Kai DVDs and got the Season Sets with the Kikuchi score. I'd much rather have all the music match than just some.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
By seeing this thread, no wonder Yamamoto got busted LOL.
Seriously plagiarizing is really prominent in the media. There are TONS of composers who have been busted in plagiarizing, even great ones like James horner have pulled horribly notorious plagiarism.
I don't think this is a plagiarism but it's certainly close.

For a change dragon ball is the one that was copied here, although it's not too apparent, only certain notes fits but it's the same vibe allright.
Also Metal Gear has been accused of Plagiarism too, (not this piece). In it's main theme, as a result the iconic main theme of the franchise has been taken out forever, I can only express my rage lol, As a fan of dbzkai I was screwed by whoever the knuckle head who gave the final straw for Toei with yamamoto's score. And as a metal gear fan I've been screwed by the same exact reasons, oh cruel destiny
By all means, I'm not saying it's a fair cause either, But I can help but twist in pain that everything happened before I could get my hands on the Complete Kai soundtrack collection before all this trash happened...

I know this is a Yamamoto thread, but this was interesting.
Sonic Adventure - Speed Highway
Misfits theme
This reminds me how DBZ and Sonic game music always sounded similar to me.

Not only that, but Super Butoden came out years earlier.

Might be more of an inspiried by, but it's still the same riff just in a different key from the Dio song.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
I always heard something very familiar every time when I listened to Satan's theme from Super Butouden 2, and have found what it was:
Super Butoden 2 - Mr. Satan's Theme (Turbo Mode Theme)
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
It's so short that it can't be considered as plagiarism, though.

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
Damn, your right!
I heard familiarity in that song as well, just couldn't remember where.

Hey, I didn't know where that theme was used in the game! The same melody also appears in the title theme, though.kei17 wrote:I always heard something very familiar every time when I listened to Satan's theme from Super Butouden 2, and have found what it was:

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread
I know this was like a page or two ago, but when was that Burst Limit track 32 ever used? I actually like his rendition of it a lot.... the thief.
