@@the_BattleGoose I do also prefer Challengers, but there are some great mashup versions that people have made. If they were to straight up perform challengers, I'd love that.
Thanks, sometimes I get them. Probably around 1/4, like the Bond theme or Eleanor Rigby in this episode. Came across one I’m not sure you’ve done before. Been listening to Wave Race 64 and the Castle City track has the same pitch bend as Kool & The Gang’s Summer Madness.
By the way, there are two versions of Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2: one with the original soundtrack (as shown in the video) and other that uses music from Budokai Tenkaichi 2. The latter version exists because the former had its soundtrack composed by Kenji Yamamoto (not to be confused with the composer for the Metroid series, which has the same name).
In the 80's, everyone Plagiarised English Medias for their regional audiences. This can be seen not only in Japanese pop culture but in Hong Kong media, Bollywood etc.
I cannot believe the 6th one, as soon as I heard it I started laughing out loud. Not even trying to hide it at that point. Literally the most popular band of all time
That X-Men one is totally a case of sample library use. One of the Danger Room themes in the X-Men game shared a lot of samples with the Shadow the Hedgehog OST
Fun fact: the guitar riff a little later in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber track is pretty much a direct rip from Toto's (of "Africa" fame...) "Stranger in Town" song. Not sure if this is another rop from Yamamoto, or if Toto supplied this riff themselves, since Toto members Steve Lukather, Mike Porcaro and Simon Philips all featured on the session recordings for that soundtrack.
Afaik, that drum sample/break it's not from spide-man, but rather relatively popular for the time. But i do think the way it was executed is from that spider man soundtrack
There’s another plagiarized song in budokai 2 Called “Soul Vaccination” only plays Budokai 2 where you meet supreme Kai The original song is literally titled “Soul Vaccination” by Tower of Power The beats are very similar and jazzy parts as well
For Powerful Man from the Darkness, it uses similar guitar riffs from Disturbed's droppin plates (instrumental) and it speeds it up by 1.25. Combine that with some of the sound samples from Sentinel Lab from X-Men Legends.
6:56 I assumed that was Iron Maiden's The Clairvoyant, which was released in 1988, but sped up. I think Stratovarius plagiarized Iron Maiden.The same guitar part starts at the 2 minute mark of The Clairvoyant. edit because i made a mistake. said 40 sec but the similarities start at the 2minute mark. The clairvoyant is slower in pitch but any Maiden fan will hear that the similarities between moving forward fearlessly because they are Uncanny.
@@uncannyx Haha yes, but Stratovarius was first with the lawsuit for this song. I know my Maiden and almost jumped from my seat when i heard moving forward fearlessly just now
He didn't, Toei knew at least of "Battle Point Unlimited" being plagiarized because they refused to rerelease that track several times and NEVER, ever used it in the anime again after the Trunks vs Freeza episodes. He continued "composing" music for the series because he was close friends with lots of influential people (including Hironobu Kageyama, to whom he still works to this day as an arranger), but he simply got too cocky with attempting to plagiarize songs from then recently released Hollywood films and finally was shafted.
@@primosdesegundograu1204Thing is, BPU still got re-made for the JP version of Raging Blast 2, so despite never re-releasing it on any Song Collections since 1991 they still had no problems making re-arrangements of it for games & such. Of course, they can’t do even that now after Yamamoto’s demise.
This video is really interested and I know there's a couple of other two Super Butōden 2 tracks are suspiciously similar as well. Cell's Theme is a copy of Pink Floyd’s One Of These Days also used as as one of the theme songs of the wrestler Abdullah the Butcher & Trunks' Theme from the same game uses the intro to Keiji Mutoh’s Hold Out theme song from New Japan Pro Wrestling when he wrestled there. Also I was doing a video on this subject, is it ok that I give you a shout out?
I was like nooooo when you said the vs super buu theme, because I hold that song extremely dearly and didn’t hear an example of plagiarism until just now...
As a huge Rush fan, I never heard Spirit of Radio in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber song. Nice shout out to Peart's unparalleled skill though. A musical moment of silence for the passing of that beacon of drumming and lyrical titan.
Crazy, and I juuust finished watching video left a comment few minutes later my brother sent me a screenshot of the sad news I was like no way! turned out it was true and left a new comment ☹️
Being from Niagara Falls (Peart was raised in Port Dalhousie), its sad that someone that was from my area that meant a lot to me died that had such an impact on my life. I listened heavily to Rush years ago, even sang a lot of their songs at Karaoke. As stated here, its a coincidence that #3 is Spirit of the radio. RIP Neil Peart
You know what, forget my previous comment here, I stand corrected. According to some research done on Kanzenshuu (and confirmed by one Kei17), it turns out that the background track that traced No Leaf Clover was indeed a Kenji Yamamoto arrangement too, only that it was unused (originally made for Burst Limit) and part of a larger library of tracks that Bamco still had the rights to. That may explain why it was a beta version-only affair, because it was a stock track and had nothing to do with the actual BGM of the final game release.
Wonder how many other tracks are "borrowed", recently read that Android 16's theme on Super Butoden is plagiarized from the Gremlins 2 theme. I can hear it.
@Uncanny X I was listening to Budokai 1's "Believe in the Supreme Power" and it sounds a lot like the guitar riff from Black Sabbath's "Zero the Hero".
I have a whole list from two different games: Earthworm Jim: Stage: "what the heck" first part sounds like "night on bald mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky "Use your head" stage sounds like "Space cadet" stage one of full tilt pinball Earthworm Jim 2: "Villi people" sounds like "moonlight sonata first movement" "Game show" sounds like "clarinet polka" "Puppy love" sounds like "Tarantella Napoletana" and "Funiculi funicula" "See Jim run" sounds like "moonlight sonata movement 3" "The flying king" sounds like "Cuban Pete" "Utterly Abducted" sounds like "El choclo tango"
Honestly, a lot of these aren't even technically similarities, they are just straight up the actual piece. Classical music and really old music in general don't have copyrights on them, so you can use them however you want (though recordings of these pieces might be copyrighted)
This one is a bit of an obscure one, but the song named "Before the Battle" from Earth 2140, also called Track #4, is pretty similiar to Dire Straits-Brothers in Arm, it doesnt sound exactly the same but there are definetly some similarities.
ehhh the 007 theme one is kinda unfair. going up 3 notes then down 3 notes on a piano keyboard isnt something 007 has exclusively. many songs feature that same progression
Here's a good future oddly familiar for you, I just recently bought Final Fantasy XV (I know I'm late lol) and I played this minigame arcade pinball and when you get to mini boss it plays this breakdown riff that sounds like Metallica - One, should check it out!
I have one for a future Oddly Familiar: the song named Ebony Wings, from Castlevania Harmony of Despair, from the PS3 have the base guitar lines oddly familiar to the song Superbeast, from Rob Zombie. The same song (Ebony Wings) is present in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a different name - Jet Black Wings and they are a remix. The original version is from the GBA Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance (this version doesn't sounds oddly familiar, btw).
I love your videos a lot. I missed a good bunch so imma go back and watch. My favorite dbz game soundtrack is from super sonic warriors, the legacy series. Funny enough I didnt like the fighting game "ost". And I but emphasis on "original sound track". Lol.
Thought the rush one was a bit of a stretch. Though it does sound like it could be the same chord progression. One of the few instances where it probably was copied but was actually changed enough that it isnt plagiarism. One of the songs in the last dragonball sounded like a second song aswell. It was the one ripped off from cowboy bebop. It also sounded like ooingo boingos "who do you want to be today"
How did the No Leaf Clover rip off even happen? Yamamoto was gone long before Xenoverse was even an idea. Plus the game didn’t even get a proper soundtrack release either (because it’s not Yamamoto). Were they seriously trying to imitate his actions or something? Even as they were removing his stuff from everything. EDIT: It’s addressed a bit in the video, and apparently it was a beta-only thing.
Ok, the X-Men one can possibly be excused. Like you mentioned, it's likely both songs used the same stock sounds/melodies from a library. Quite a few of the Budokai tracks have stock samples in them. From vocals to drum beats to even guitar riffs. I've heard the same drum beat and short guitar after from "Spark of Fighting" in the Phantom boss theme in Devil May Cry and only the drum beat in the combat training music from Spider-Man for the PS1. And the weird chanting vocals in "Warrior From an Unknown Land" I've heard in other game tracks, like in Devil May Cry's "Lock & Load" theme. The vocal at the start of "Do It At All Risk" was also used in the Devil May Cry Nightmare boss theme Fun fact, the "Vs Super Buu" track contains two different song riffs/melodies. One is the Rush song you mentioned and the other is heard a bit later and is basically the main theme of Toto's "Stranger in Town". Speaking of Toto, their song "Child's Anthem" was ripped off for the Spirit Bomb music during Budokai 1's cutscenes. Three more blatant examples of Yamamoto's shenanigans in the Budokai series that you could maybe do a third video on along with the Toto tracks. Budokai 3's "Embrace the Sky" and Journey's "Be Good to Yourself", Budokai 3's "12 AM Shuffle" and "Ain't Life Grand" by Slash's Snake Pit and Budokai 1's "Like a Burning Wind" and "The Alien" again by Slash's Snakepit. There's so many songs he "borrowed" stuff from, it's insane.
Nothing was ripped off from Toto and Tower of Power since they were the ones who even performed the re-arrangements of their own stuff on those sessions.
When his most popular stuff is plagiarized, the original material is more than likely mediocre. And it’s doubtful if there’s even any considering he’s stolen menu music of all things before.
The thing that sucks the most for me is that I used to love and praise Kenji Yammamoto until I realized how much of his music was blatant rip offs. With that being said, his instrumentation was still top notch and the few original works he produced were still good.(Unless the few I can think of like Ssj3 Goku or Majin Vegeta's theme from Super Butoden - Final Bout was a rip off as well...)

Well, I can thank Kenji for one thing: Getting me into Stratovarius.
Seriously, dude loved taking their stuff. Geez.
Same here lol
Challengers and Warrior From An Unknown Land are what got me into them
At this point, Stratovarius just needs to be contracted to make music for DBZ.
I want them to do a cover of Challengers
@@kda9x Challengers is such a weird one.

@@kda9xsparking?
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 huh
A fun part of these videos is trying to guess the song before the reveal.
have you guessed any correctly? I know you have watched a lot of eps, I see you often, so I am sure you got quite a few!
Thanks, sometimes I get them. Probably around 1/4, like the Bond theme or Eleanor Rigby in this episode.
Came across one I’m not sure you’ve done before. Been listening to Wave Race 64 and the Castle City track has the same pitch bend as Kool & The Gang’s Summer Madness.
Only ones I got right were the James Bond Theme and September.
To be fair, Stratovarious got some good music
It's really good, it's also really, really *not Kenji's.*
Hearing some of these is genuinely heartbreaking, my favourite childhood VGM were just rips. Why Kenji why 😭
13:32 - YO! That telepathic knock-back in forth in line with the drumming apex was SICK.
6:00 this is literally eleanor rigby in 16 bit lol
Kenji definitely had some genuine talent, but he chose to waste it on cheap theft.
Rest in Peace Mr. Neil Peart

It's 2020 and I'm severely mindblown.
we have a 3rd DB ep coming, it won't be for a bit because we like to spread them out ... but there are 40 or 50 songs on there that are 'influenced'
Posted 2 days ago? This video was posted earlier today.... What wizardry is this? Lol
I come from the future.
When I hear hurricane challenger, I can’t help but hear the SNES intro to Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting.
I just love this channel and ongoing series ❤️
thank you!
Just gonna say, Eleanor Rigby is a great song. However, WHY IS KENJI SUCH A PLAGIARIST!? He might as well be called "Darth Plagiarist the Unwise".
Kenji Yamamoto is certainly the Sith Lord "Composer" of Plagiarism.
In the 80's, everyone Plagiarised English Medias for their regional audiences. This can be seen not only in Japanese pop culture but in Hong Kong media, Bollywood etc.
I assumed number 10 would be from Doom, but I assumed wrong it seems.
Great video, btw, as always.
Your videos deserve more views.
Yamamoto be like: "Say i've taken a liking to this track I think i'll take it........COPY NOW!!!!!!!!!"
I cannot believe the 6th one, as soon as I heard it I started laughing out loud. Not even trying to hide it at that point. Literally the most popular band of all time

bro ive never noticed untill now XD Just listend to them back to back and i was really suprise how close it was to each other
It’s Toto themselves so it’s clean, as with Tower of Power.
Afaik, that drum sample/break it's not from spide-man, but rather relatively popular for the time. But i do think the way it was executed is from that spider man soundtrack
You are doing god's work
I DIDN'T EXPECT EYE TO EYE BEING THE FIRST SONG IN THE VIDEO, AS A BIG YU YU HAKUSHO FAN THIS MADE ME DIE INSIDE HAGSKSSGSVVSJSKSSHSVBSJS
Kenji Yamamoto is at it again!
There’s another plagiarized song in budokai 2
Called “Soul Vaccination” only plays Budokai 2 where you meet supreme Kai
The original song is literally titled “Soul Vaccination” by Tower of Power
The beats are very similar and jazzy parts as well
RIP Neil Peart of RUSH
RIP!
12:32 that's not the only song he sampled,he also used a Riff from a song by Disturbed called Dropping Plates
I love this. Talk more about other animes too.
great video
Rip Neil Pearth
Your mother has a good taste for music. Ty for another excellent video!
i told her what you said, she said "i know", she rolls like that lol ... thanks for the comment
I'll still forever love Hatred at 2 Power.
Number 3 sounds a lot like "RAGE" From the Quake 2 soundtrack, far more similar to that than the Rush song.
Is there a part 3?
this video really made me appreciate how under appreciate and good stratovarius are.
For Powerful Man from the Darkness, it uses similar guitar riffs from Disturbed's droppin plates (instrumental) and it speeds it up by 1.25. Combine that with some of the sound samples from Sentinel Lab from X-Men Legends.
When are you gonna do a part three of this i really want to see more of what songs that kenji Yamamoto plagiarism that he stole

Im gonna be honest, VS Super Buu sounds WAY more like Cowboys From Hell to my ears than it does Rush. didn't know rush was canadian tho, so thats neat
How did he get away with this for so long XD.

7:10
Not too far off Blue collar man by Styx either
Man why did he rob all these big names but he paid for tower of powers songs in budokai 2 (the best tracks in the budokai series)
And Toto as well.
His connections got him the opportunity apparently.
Horrific news! Herd Neil Peart passed away! RIP ☹️☹️☹️
What an odd coincidence that Rush would be mentioned on this video eh

One thing about Vs Super Buu, it was actually featured in the first DBZ Budokai during one of the Goku vs Frieza fights
Another one is the track "Don't Cry" From Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku is very similar to the first movement of Moonlight Sonata.
9:55 this reminds me more of the Trigun theme song

1:40 Eye To Eye was also composed by Kenji Yamamoto.
You can check his name credited as Composer / Arranger:

Wonder how many other tracks are "borrowed", recently read that Android 16's theme on Super Butoden is plagiarized from the Gremlins 2 theme. I can hear it.
@Uncanny X I was listening to Budokai 1's "Believe in the Supreme Power" and it sounds a lot like the guitar riff from Black Sabbath's "Zero the Hero".
I may be STRETCHING here, but I get La Caution - Thé à la menthe vibes(or the laser song from oceans 12) from the last one
I found this purely by accident but the opening to Dragonballz Budokai 2 is Mr Big - Addicted to that Rush
I have a whole list from two different games:
Earthworm Jim:
Stage: "what the heck" first part sounds like "night on bald mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky
"Use your head" stage sounds like "Space cadet" stage one of full tilt pinball
Earthworm Jim 2:
"Villi people" sounds like "moonlight sonata first movement"
"Game show" sounds like "clarinet polka"
"Puppy love" sounds like "Tarantella Napoletana" and "Funiculi funicula"
"See Jim run" sounds like "moonlight sonata movement 3"
"The flying king" sounds like "Cuban Pete"
"Utterly Abducted" sounds like "El choclo tango"
You could be the new x
Honestly, a lot of these aren't even technically similarities, they are just straight up the actual piece. Classical music and really old music in general don't have copyrights on them, so you can use them however you want (though recordings of these pieces might be copyrighted)
0:48 This song is officially called "Royal Guard"
The one for piccolos theme could also easily have been Castlevania rip of as well
I can't believe they chose No Leaf Clover. I love that song
i can tell you have amazing music taste, fellow ozma enjoyer
What Version Of James Bond Theme Is That At 2:30 ?
This one is a bit of an obscure one, but the song named "Before the Battle" from Earth 2140, also called Track #4, is pretty similiar to Dire Straits-Brothers in Arm, it doesnt sound exactly the same but there are definetly some similarities.
Don’t know if this was ever mentioned but the start up/title screen from Infinite World sounds like American Idiot by Green Day.
for normal oddly familiar the doom theme sounds really similar to master of puppets specially the beginning.
ehhh the 007 theme one is kinda unfair. going up 3 notes then down 3 notes on a piano keyboard isnt something 007 has exclusively. many songs feature that same progression
Sir it is actually called the James Bond Theme how dare you
Zarbon's Theme also sounds similar to the Seinfeld theme song.
Just wanna point out that Eye to Eye was also composed by Yamamoto.
Buena investigación
7:12 move forward fearlessly also sounds exactly like AFI - Girl's Not Grey
You could easily do a part 3, 4 and 5 on this guy. And that's not even including his plagiarized music in the anime.
The Beatles Yesderday sounds like one of soundracks from anime...
DBZ Budokai 3's Flight in the dark side is definitely Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Here's a good future oddly familiar for you, I just recently bought Final Fantasy XV (I know I'm late lol) and I played this minigame arcade pinball and when you get to mini boss it plays this breakdown riff that sounds like Metallica - One, should check it out!
Number 2 also has similarities to Kylo Rens Leitmotif composed by John Williams
Deviance from Raging Blast 2 reminds me of Cowboys from Hell from Pantera
I have one for a future Oddly Familiar: the song named Ebony Wings, from Castlevania Harmony of Despair, from the PS3 have the base guitar lines oddly familiar to the song Superbeast, from Rob Zombie. The same song (Ebony Wings) is present in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a different name - Jet Black Wings and they are a remix. The original version is from the GBA Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance (this version doesn't sounds oddly familiar, btw).
I do not remember that Melody from Harmony of dissonance. The first time I heard it was an order of Ecclesia.
Heads up in the anime of the Bardock special solid state scouter sounds like the heat is on and very similar.
Solid State Scouter was made by Yasunori Iwasaki and it was a Weird Al-tier homage to YMO (Solid State Survivor, Technopolis).
Im pretty sure the super buu fight theme is in the first budokai too
As a BFMV fan, I thought Hatred to the power was too similar to just another star...
Yamamoto's got nice tastes in music though
I honestly thought the first one was going to be compared to Doom’s level 1 music.
I love your videos a lot. I missed a good bunch so imma go back and watch. My favorite dbz game soundtrack is from super sonic warriors, the legacy series. Funny enough I didnt like the fighting game "ost". And I but emphasis on "original sound track". Lol.
yeah, DBZ "OST" are just "ST" .... forget the O! lol
@@uncannyx yep lol
One the similarities is the theme of butoden 3 and the main theme of the red spectacles.
Thought the rush one was a bit of a stretch. Though it does sound like it could be the same chord progression. One of the few instances where it probably was copied but was actually changed enough that it isnt plagiarism. One of the songs in the last dragonball sounded like a second song aswell. It was the one ripped off from cowboy bebop. It also sounded like ooingo boingos "who do you want to be today"
Number 10, pardon me if someone wrote it already, REAAAAALLY sounds like At Doom’s Gate from the original doom.
9:31 sooooooooo good
How did the No Leaf Clover rip off even happen? Yamamoto was gone long before Xenoverse was even an idea.
Plus the game didn’t even get a proper soundtrack release either (because it’s not Yamamoto).
Were they seriously trying to imitate his actions or something? Even as they were removing his stuff from everything.
EDIT: It’s addressed a bit in the video, and apparently it was a beta-only thing.
Ok, the X-Men one can possibly be excused. Like you mentioned, it's likely both songs used the same stock sounds/melodies from a library. Quite a few of the Budokai tracks have stock samples in them. From vocals to drum beats to even guitar riffs.
I've heard the same drum beat and short guitar after from "Spark of Fighting" in the Phantom boss theme in Devil May Cry and only the drum beat in the combat training music from Spider-Man for the PS1. And the weird chanting vocals in "Warrior From an Unknown Land" I've heard in other game tracks, like in Devil May Cry's "Lock & Load" theme. The vocal at the start of "Do It At All Risk" was also used in the Devil May Cry Nightmare boss theme
Fun fact, the "Vs Super Buu" track contains two different song riffs/melodies. One is the Rush song you mentioned and the other is heard a bit later and is basically the main theme of Toto's "Stranger in Town". Speaking of Toto, their song "Child's Anthem" was ripped off for the Spirit Bomb music during Budokai 1's cutscenes.
Three more blatant examples of Yamamoto's shenanigans in the Budokai series that you could maybe do a third video on along with the Toto tracks. Budokai 3's "Embrace the Sky" and Journey's "Be Good to Yourself", Budokai 3's "12 AM Shuffle" and "Ain't Life Grand" by Slash's Snake Pit and Budokai 1's "Like a Burning Wind" and "The Alien" again by Slash's Snakepit.
There's so many songs he "borrowed" stuff from, it's insane.
Nothing was ripped off from Toto and Tower of Power since they were the ones who even performed the re-arrangements of their own stuff on those sessions.
"The name is Daimaou....Picollo Jr Daimaou"
Didnt know zarbon was a yuyu fan
Why is a hero’s desperation removed from the HD collection if it’s plagiarized what song does it rip off from?

Has Kenji had any original songs lol?
When his most popular stuff is plagiarized, the original material is more than likely mediocre.
And it’s doubtful if there’s even any considering he’s stolen menu music of all things before.
There's a sample in the Character Select Theme for Budokai 3 that was also used in Spyro 3: Year Of The Dragon
do you know which Spyro theme it is?
@@uncannyx Frozen Altars from Spyro 3
I feel like the first 2 songs sounded familiar to Megalovania as well
RIP Neal Peart from Rush.
Well despite it being plagiarized those songs were lit
The thing that sucks the most for me is that I used to love and praise Kenji Yammamoto until I realized how much of his music was blatant rip offs. With that being said, his instrumentation was still top notch and the few original works he produced were still good.(Unless the few I can think of like Ssj3 Goku or Majin Vegeta's theme from Super Butoden - Final Bout was a rip off as well...)
