"A more amusing false lead was the youtube commenter/facebook user who claimed the song was from an 80s adult film". - They hated him because he told them the truth. Even if it was unintentionally so.
I'm just over here absolutely baffled how a 27 year old that somehow for some reason has a copy of an insanely obscure Japanese New Wave compilation album from the early 80s could possibly be so vehemently against lost media searches... talk about a strange and very rare subset of person.
the one consistent thing i learn from any of these 80's/90's lostwave lost media searches specifically is how many people in the 80's/90's had the exact same singing voice.
Now that you mention it, that trend kinda reminds me of the mid-atlantic accent used by actors in old films. Wonder if that style of singing has an actual name to it.
It's not exclusive to back then, either. Most popular male singers seem to have the same nasally high-pitched singing voice. I have a baritone voice, and it makes singing most pop songs nearly impossible.
Lost media always has an otherworldly feel. Like from another dimension. It's annoying that so many songs just can't be found. The internet isn't exhaustive
@@andyv2209 there's a song I love that I grew up with, that is not on the internet, at least not in the version I know. It was a cover of an older song. The original song is on youtube (only the live version, has like 5k views), but the band blocked all the cover versions of their song, including the most popular one. Like, this isn't even some unknown song. Both the original band and the cover performer are well known locally. The arrangement of the original song and the vocals are a$$, unfortunately.
Gotta love when someone is being about as rude as possible to you and then they say, “others won’t be as nice to you as I am.” Mate, most people are nicer than you are.
every single person contacted in other lost media cases ive seen literally just went "hey, sorry i didn't have it ;p hope you find what your looking for!!". the dude was just some loser who thinks did us some holy'er then thou justice for sending us a song
16:10 - “For some reason multiple websites let us know that his blood type is B” - blood type is actually popularly viewed similarly to zodiac signs in Japan, so it’s like listing a musician as a leo or something
Yep, it's meant to determine your personality and skills, and compatibility with someone else. Certain blood types supposedly aren't compatible with eachother. It's also a big thing in Korea - you'll almost always find blood type listed on a Korean idol/celebrity site. There's a funny webcomic about it called "A Simple Thinking About Blood Type" which even got adapted into a (very obscure) anime if you wanna learn about the stereotypes lol
So that's why there are blood type emojis next to the zodiac sign emojis. It always appeared to me as such a weird choice but I guess these were ported together over from the Japanese character set.
My 2 cents: When I first heard the clip, my impression was that it sounded EXACTLY like one of those 'fake songs' that would be used in TV shows (because they couldn't afford the rights to license anything real)...usually a hastily thrown together pretend song. That would explain the short clip, as a show might have dialogue etc that would cut it off. (as if the song were used as a background element in a scene....maybe at a concert or nightclub scene) TYou would hear this kind of stuff routinely in sitcoms or cop shows.
Heads up, usually it's called a sound-alike and I'm not sure if they're still terribly common, but there used to be companies dedicated to making these. I'd imagine it's hard to find records from any though.
I thought it sounded like a song heard in a "driving up to a location in a convertable" or " people dancing on a beach" song from a low budget mid to late 80s movie.
I've seen others say the drumset used in the song is too expensive to own for it to be fake, but this might fix that issue. If it was a short tune commissioned by a large company it could've been done by session musicians who own their own gear.
i just want to say that i appreciate you using more upbeat/chill video game songs in your videos instead of the ominous drones more common in a lot of lost media videos! especially since most lost media isnt scary, it's just... stuff! it makes for a more fun watching experience. the omori soundtrack my beloved
Right? Lost media is often portrayed as a sort of discount true crime, but that aesthetic really feels out of place when the lost media at hand is something like a 15 seconds clip of some funky tunes or a short episode of a sitcom or something.
I feel bad for Carl if I’m being honest. Imagine trying to find a song only to be bombarded with extremely person questions and then being called a liar and an asshole because you rightfully didn’t want to give those answers. I’d go dormant too. Update: Damn bro.
@@cricketandgraham8644 I mean let's be real, most of the people involved are kids, especially since it got publicity on tiktok. You can't really expect children to have some common decency for others, especially when they're excited for something to be found that could give them attention.
@@cricketandgraham8644 It's because some people develop a weird sense of entitlement over online stuff; it's like they forget that they're interacting with another human being, instead treating them like they're some kind of information vending machine that took their dollar and is now holding out on them. And it's like, I get it, to some extent; you've got this question burning a hole in your brain, and you want to check under every possible rock for answers, but when it comes to people, some of those rocks are going to be shit like "the name of the street you grew up on", and you can't just expect everyone to be willing to divulge shit like that.
@@jamesruth100 You people are acting as if users were asking his address, social security number, DOB. and who his family members are. Guys they were just asking WHERE was he when he RECORDED the file. If had provided that info the search would be a little easier. "UmM DoEs It MatTer" Yeah dude it kinda does if you want us help you solve what's the name of this track.
Imagine there’s probably 4 middle aged men, completely clueless to the fact that a demo they recorded in high school back in the 80’s has the internet going crazy. Edit: Well this is awkward....
@@raulortiz3871honestly the voice sounds kinda androgynous, like it could be a man or a woman. Which would check out for the 80s, a lot of male pop and rock stars from that era looked kinda effeminate.
this reminds me of something: If you've seen the Teen Titans GO! episode 40% 40% 20%, Cyborg is obsessed with a song by a band called B.E.R. "Night Begins to Shine". It's interesting because the song is not a "real" 80s song, or a "real" 80s band. It was recorded in 2005 by Carl Burnett (the B in B.E.R) as an 80s themed song, and put into a music library. They found it while working on the previous episode "Slumber Party" because it was also 80s themed, and thought it sounded like a cool band, and used it, not realizing it was just "music library" fodder, essentially. The internet made it massively popular, in part because of 40% 40% 20% (which has a badass music video). That said, it makes me wonder if it's hard to find this because it was possibly recorded for a music library. I mean, music library stuff has existed since before the internet.
Reminds me of when I used to go thrifting with my parents, I found some sound effect records from 1973, I can't remember exactly which ones, but some of the sounds I recognized from TV and even memes of recent times. One thing for sure was a blizzard like wind sound effect that they got from a much older record, as I distintly remember woody woodpecker using it
Someone talking about how very nice and generous they are to someone thay are calling a loser while saying they need to get a life because their harmless hobby is "cringe" is the most internet thing to ever internet
One good thing about this search is that most of the dead end leads end up exposing people to musicians they never heard of, which is a pretty good silver lining in my opinion.
As someone who is 27 and does volunteer archival work for a nearby town, comparing lost media, whether it’s film, comics or music, to CREEPYPASTAS…it makes my blood boil. I also very much enjoyed your work and Jorge’s help on this, it was astounding.
I have to imagine this person heard "lost media" and could only interpret it as those "lost episode" creepypastas that were everywhere 10 years ago. Certainly a needlessly hostile/crabby response though.
It doesn't help that nearly all lost media UA-cam content uses creepy drone music 😂 If these people want to be taken seriously by the non-terminally online, they need to sell themselves as "digital humanitarians" or "music history-archivists".
Guy who uploads obscure music when someone comes to him asking if he knows of a piece of obscure music: (ಠ益ಠ) "I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FUCK OFF NOBODY CARES!!!"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that A. Not everyone is into this sort of stuff and some people find it cringey. B. Getting pummeled with endless requests to release the song would be extremely annoying and would leave most people in a sour mood. To add to this, anyone that would have listened to a few of the songs from it and actually used their brains rather than simply looking at genres on discogs would easily deduce that the song in question would not be on the compilation simply because it is a vastly different style of music than the other songs on it.
Regarding that Japanese user with the compilation album, as someone who has covered quite a few Japanese lost media topics myself, I've found that Japan doesn't really have a dedicated lost media community over there. There's a pretty popular wiki for lost commercials specifically, but I have yet to encounter any centralized hub in for lost media/lostwave in Japanese. Some people are terrified of copyright-related repercussions/legal action (Japanese copyright law is mad strict and many unclaimed old film reels and music tracks are outright destroyed because the legality of holding them and not owning the rights is so complex. In my own search for the Akihabara tape song, I've found that the OP and owner of the tape had actually thrown out the original cassette tape with the song on it, and is a bit vague in correspondences. I feel they may just be apprehensive for legal reasons themselves. TLDR: I really wish Japan took media preservation more seriously. I've been simmering the idea of opening a Japanese language wiki for lost media and just adding articles myself to hopefully spread some awareness and interest.
Is that why I can't find the song "toi et moi" anywhere?? It was a japanese singer's song and I thought it had something to do with pokemon but i can't find it anywhere.
Fr, it's a shame so much Japanese music gets taken off UA-cam because of copyright, even older songs. I uploaded a couple of things and while they're still available to watch, I think they're blocked in Japan itself due to copyright
I agree with this, there is tons of old anime lost and untranslated because japan did not release it and most copies have been destroyed or disappeared. Massive shame, theres even things like lost anime merchandise too where people have a picture of an item but you will absolutely never find any history on it.
2:33 His original post title was simply "Mid 80s, bad quality" You mentioned before that how the watzatsong site was hacked - well the people who hacked his profile changed the description, and mods changed it back, adding that bit in parenthesis at the end. Carl92 never called the song "Everybody knows that". Just wanted to point that out
@@lanister1104 It did initially at the beginning, and played it referencing the fact it was “lost media” totally threw me off. I figured out later that it was in reference too a different piece all together. Still don’t understand why they included that audio in the beginning and made it out like it was infact the lost peice. That’s where my confusion was. Thanks . The beginning 0:01 implied this was the lost piece.
My favorite quote of all time from the ekt Reddit is “we have become so desperate oh my god, no one is busting it down sexual style to everyone knows that” i just saw it while scrolling there random threads and I think about it so much I think it helped me achieve nirvana
I bet the guy at 17:00 doesn’t know real lost media exists and only knows of it through “lost episode” creepypastas. I’m around his age and those were really big when I was a kid, so maybe to him it sounded like “hey we’re looking for Candle Cove” and he was like “Looking for stuff from creepypastas is for kids and I need these Internet strangers to know that I’m a serious adult.” Still a stupid and unnecessarily hostile response. Also kind of sad. Given that he likes obscure music, he’d probably enjoy looking for mysterious songs
his reply is really funny though you got to admit. See where he’s coming from a little more now (got online just at the end of stuff like candle cove’s popularity)
Not being able to find lost media is so frustrating. I have almost a whole album of songs that no one knows where they're from. I've been searching for like a decade, I think.
@@EmmysVerySeriousVideos Some story, trying to keep it short, link at the end. I had this album with no name, no song names, no date, and no band name. I had songs 3 to 8, not knowing how many songs were in the album. It was ripped from a CD using Windows Media Player. I had been asking around, music shops, friends, family, new people I met online about this album for years. Showing people the song files I had, explaining the metadata, etc. No luck for like 10 years. I posted on Reddit about 3 years ago looking for the songs, and then again after seeing this video. In the last post I made on Reddit regarding this , someone had actually finally found it! They used PicardBrainz (Sp?) to find it, which I attempted to use, as well as a friend, back 3 years ago to no avail. But they found it, and let me know, and even posted the link to the Bandcamp, to which I'm very grateful! Credit to FiveElementNinja. The artist is Techromancer. the album is Space Duel, and there were 8 named songs! Finally, I had everything I was searching for, for years. This album got me through good times and bad. I've listened to it a lot through the years. Here's the link to the Bandcamp. Some people would consider this experimental, or hipstery. It has a bit of chiptune-like sounds in it. Enjoy. c: techromancer.bandcamp.com/album/space-duel

This is a great lead. Back in the 80s, I used to head to my local arcade and play Polybius for hours. My memory is foggy, but I swear I heard that song play when I finally beat the game.
@@zigzagintrusion It played just as the arcade's wallpaper began to swirl and I didn't feel so good anymore. The same thing can happen to listening to too much Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, as I recall.
I'm a mod from r/everyoneknowsthat. Came here to copy/paste my reaction to the vid in the community: Happy to see an accurate video where the creator(s) have done their proper research. Good explanation of the origins, the technical details, popular theories, and even deep dives in some false leads. Pretty much every other video I've seen got so much wrong. This video should be the standard for newcomers. My compliments to the creators, they obviously put a lot of work into this.
Hey! I am so glad you think this video is well-researched and are even referring people to check it out. Honestly a lot of work did go into it, and seeing that recognized by you feels amazing. Because you're more versed in this mystery than most of us lol! Thank you :)
@vinnratReddit mods are insufferable. Maybe this one particular mod isn’t, but the majority of them are. Idk if you use Reddit, but if you do then you understand mods are the worst part of that site.
Love this story. As an aside, this pink boombox was released in 2006 lol, probably 20 years after this song was recorded. Funny how it found a permanent association with an 80s hook.
Just a fun fact : the reason why Joe Rinoie's blood type can be found so easily on the Internet is because in Japan, blood types work in a similar way astrological signs do in western countries. Also, it was kinda weird to see EKT on French news as it's not really known here, I don't know any french videos on the subject (even though French UA-cam had shown interest in mysterious songs before like Like The Wind), this report is one few places it was even covered. Anyway, very cool video ! Glad to see Jorge here !
I can suggest a Filipino 80s new wave pop band Rage Band could've made it. Maybe. Why? -Philippines using NTSC Format -Made pop songs between 1983-1988 and 1990 -Songs mostly in English -Sounds similar from their tracks -Made Jingles for brands in the 80s If you want to hear their tracks, its on their Soundcloud page, however full albums are still lost media.
The "NTSC frequency line" could have easily been baked in the original recording at the studio. Many studios have screens within the recording room, and it's very common to find ~15kHz frequencies in the recording caused by their presence during the recording session. Many commercially released tracks have this burned in. The notion that the presence of this line is necessarily due to how Carl92 recorded the sample himself is just not so. There are more holes in this whole thing: This frequency comes from the horizontal deflection yoke vibrating due to the powerful oscilating magnetic field it generates to move the elctron beam from left to right on the screen. NTSC does it at 15734Hz and PAL at 15625Hz That's about a 0.7% difference. How can they be so sure it's NTSC for certain and not PAL? Especially given the high probability that this was captured from audio or video tape, radio, or whatever, where this frequency could have shifted up or down by that much or even more. Kudos to the guy that had the knowledge to look for this, but it's just not as good a clue as he thought. In fact, I would say it can't be considered to be a clue at all.
UPDATE! Everyone Knows That has now been found! It was discovered on a porno movie from 1986 called "Angels of Passion" and its played in the background of a sex scene. The official title is "Ulterior Motives" By Christopher Saint Booth. Your Welcome Kylie
A 27 year old claiming to be an old man telling people to "get off their lawn" is just silly. That's coming someone who's 45, and I don't think I'm ready for the "get off their lawn" bit even though my body is definitely showing some real signs of aging, now. This can be controversial, but as far as I can tell, there is no real meaning to life. So, the best thing you can do is provide a meaning, yourself. I've been there looking for a song from my childhood that I had no idea what it was called. If it gives your life a little spark, then it's all worth while.
That Darren segment had me absolutely stunned, the comparison legit sounded like it could have been from the same exact song it sounded so close. I was dead set on it being a female singer until I heard that, combine that with the tweet and that’s probably the closest lead y’all have found! I really hope it gets found so I can add it to my playlist!
Someone's grandma knows this song and has it in their dusty collection that hasn't seen the light of day in almost a century💀 Edit: I need more comments the amount of ignorance is hysterical
It's weird to think that this could be the favourite song of someone in this world, yet they have no idea that people are looking for it on the internet as the news hasn't reached them yet. That person could know everything about the band and singer.
@@greatbritishedits6602Ah, now, I have that, it's a 12 inch. But the one I was after had a load of samples from TV and FIlm and a load of other songs from the era. I found it here watch?v=fqkkhj5zcjc :)
Great video. I was actually the person who got in touch with Rolling Stone as I thought it would make a great article. They emailed me back thanking me for giving them the heads up for bringing it to their attention as they looked into it and thought it sounded fascinating.
Back in the 80's club DJ's or radio DJ's would be given "single" records from music labels, to play at clubs and create some buzz. You could of course just pick one up a record store yourself too. The singles would usually have a radio edit, extended version, and a dance remix. I have found more than a few of these singles from thrift stores. Some of them were absolute bops, even though it was from a obscure musician no one has ever heard of and only had a few thousand or hundreds of views on UA-cam. The song in question had to of been recorded from a vinyl to tape then recorded back to a PC for whatever reason. There's an absolute mountain of these singles, finding this song would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The vinyl is probably sitting in someones collection in Europe and they just don't know it.
Or even worse, it was just some short experiment that never became a full song, and we've just run across a trail of people sharing a cool mixtape of what's little more than samples.
I remember long time ago getting a single for under a buck, and unfortunately misplaced tape long ago and searching ever since but lyrics were about gatta get a Roughneck, and it was a female rapper singing, think it was titled Roughneck but that was in the late 80’s. It was really catchy and been trying to figure so I could use it in a short indie film, hopefully before my glioma takes over ... life... just gatta 😆
@Orlen-zi6jy To actually answer your question, he probably isn’t. The Takeshita Ohta video he posted is 6 years old, which means he would be posting these videos Atleast 6 years ago, with the UA-cam channel being made in 2014, and LastFM being made in 2012.
A little explanation that is more than a few words; Everyone Knows that (Ulterior Motives) was indeed found. The recording that Carl played was featured in an Adult Film that I won't name, but you can find it after a little searching. The song itself was recorded by Christopher Booth who also goes by Christopher Saint. From what I know so far, he plans on trying to find the original recording without the... noises from said film. If he can't find that, he plans on re-recording it.
I just asked my mother who was in her 20s in the 80s if she’d heard this song before. She said that it has the same sort of generic rhythm and chord progression of that era (which could definitely point to why it sounds so familiar to everyone) and she said it could be a song from a Motown (the record company) girl group. She also said the grainy, low quality could be because it was recorded in a disco, concert or club or something. I don’t know if this could be a lead, but it may prove fruitful to dig really deep into the super underground girl groups of Motown’s from that era and see where it gets us. edit: OKAY GUYS YES I KNOW THAT ITS BEEN FOUND AND WHAT ITS ORIGIN IS 😭 but i never said my mum had HEARD it before, just that its rhythm is of that era which she recognised as she was in her 20s and yk how 80s music is LMFAO. so yeah just to clear that up 🫡
It may be from an acetate or cassette. It may be a girl band or female singer in a garage type of band who just did songs on their own and maybe a few bar gigs, broke up and the women got married and had kids. Women often do a band for a bit and then become mom's. Especially if the band is just a fun type of hobby and nothing serious. My advice I was giving too is to show the clip to people in their 50s and up who were kids to 25 back then obsessed with 80s punk/dance songs. Someone may know of the female herself. Maybe it's a starter band and song before they broke up to be a big band we know. 🙂
To be honest, the response at 17:00 is so disheartening, but more so because no matter what draws folks into a new genre of music - the overall benefits of these searches are bringing more attention to non mainstream art and music and often recovery and archiving of lost or near lost media. I understand annoyance from being bombarded by questions and inquiries - but it seems that was not the cause of the ire - it was plain ole gatekeeping of a new and different generation/audience finding interest in a musician since it was tied to "annoying creepypasta searches" or w/e
He chalked finding lost pieces of media up to creppypasta bullshit. Clearly doesnt understand its not the same thing and is too ignorant to try and open up to something new
@@austinsmith7731Wait til he meets someone who tells him he's ruining the music industry by uploading songs, because digital uploads are never going to be as good (to them) as listening to vinyl records and he's "enabling" this ruination of music culture. He's prolly agree with them lol
It's extra annoying because that guy says he's only 27 and he acts like he's scolding little children. I guess since he associates lost media with creepypastas and general web horror, and is too proud or whatever to familiarise himself with what lost media actually is, he assumes we're all kids. I'm in my mid 30s and I absolutely love lost media/lostwave, but it isn't even that big of a deal how old we all are. I'm not gonna judge kids for loving creepypastas or whatever else they're into, and I'm also certainly not going to gatekeep anyone who wants to get into my favourite topics, no matter their age.
There was a song that was always on the radio around 1972 that you'd think would be a top 40 song because of the amount of airplay it got, but I've never been able to find it in any top 40 list from that era.
Was it a more local hit by chance? I was a bit surprised to learn that Lake Shore Drive for instance wasn't a huge hit outside of the Chicago and St Louis areas considering it seemed like such a classic locally.
Lake Shore Drive may not have been a huge hit outside the Great Lakes area, but it's certainly not unknown. I'm in my 30's and from the deep south and I know and love that song.
On the off-chance anyone is interested, the stock/background footage from about 5:50 to 6:10 is from River Falls Mall (circa 1993), which was in Clarksville, IN until it closed. The full video in higher quality is available on UA-cam, and as of this posting can be easily found using the name of the mall and the year mentioned.
its so sad when someone is hostile about lost media, calling it "embarassing/cringe/internet/creepypasta". As an artist myself, I care so much about finding, preserving and seeing and hearing other people's art. Someone put human feeling into that lost media! I can't imagine anything more heartfelt than a whole community of strangers beingmoved by your art, then dedicating time to rescuing it. maybe Im biased. I just think the drive to preserve lost art is heartwarming.
Probably just an old band who made a demo song that didn't get used or get any commercial success and the creators of the song probably just forgot about it this was most definitely a song before the internet blew up and is a relic of another time is how I look at it
Blood type thing - Japan has a huge obsession with blood types and the idea that it correlates to personality! It's really common for blood type to be included in character descriptions for anime or video games.
Oh man I had no idea, I was playing this skateboarding game at an arcade that included the characters blood type in the description! I was very confused to say the least..
I wouldn't call it "huge obsession", though. It has about the same level of cultural interest as horoscopes-fun to know and talk about, but few people actually take it seriously.
5:22 - "There is a chance it isn't anywhere online". There's also a chance it IS online, maybe even uploaded directly to UA-cam, but just hasn't been "found" by anyone from the lost media community yet. This has happened to at least one "lost" song before, can't remember the title of it, but it was eventually "found" and had been on UA-cam already for at least 2-3 years before the search even began, complete with comments all throughout the supposedly "lost" era. Sometimes it's just a matter of being in front of the right people at the right time.

I’ve been waiting for your next upload- and seeing its a collab with Jorge makes it even more exciting! (Also the Blood type thing is because Japan believes blood types have an effect on your personality traits- its basically like a bands website having their members zodiac signs listed in their bios)
I really think it’s darren hayes, the vocals sound so insanely similar. As a musician, im willing to bet that was a demo they tried to self record and realized it didn’t cut it, so they found a recording artist to help them and tried to bury his poor quality demos. I think him posting that vague status was basically him admitting it was him without actually doing it
Just one problem though...Savage Garden didn't form until 1993 and didn't relase their first album until 1997...who the hell was making music like that in the 90s? Even people who made new wave in the 80s didn't sound like that in the 90s lol. Some of your young folks do not realize this but there was nothing more uncool in the nineties than the eighties. The 80s didn't become cool again until 2000.
@@Chelaxim that doesn't mean it can't be darren/sound garden, though! plenty of bands have a sound that seems reminiscent of an era that isn't their own and is maybe seen as "uncool" in their time. if you listen to the clip of darren's early demos, you have to admit it sounds startingly like EKT. just because it would have been "uncool" for him to make an 80s sounding song doesn't mean it's impossible :]
To answer one of the questions from a comment flashed on screen. Yes. Darren Hayes does have a history of being a jokester. Some of the interviews from where he was on The Masked Singer showed how much he was messing around with the kids on the show as a grim reaper. He realized that he had to step it down a notch and stop scaring the kids so that they would want to vote for him. Joking is well within his character.
I'm not gonna lie, for being one of the most mysterious and elusive songs on the internet, it has become one of my favorites. EKT and all it's fan remakes are just so good and I really hope the real deal will be found this year. Edit: Y'all. Wtf was Carl doing???
I'm so happy that EKT is getting so much recognition. It was the song that got me into Lostwave and has remained one of my top favorites. Maybe its due to 5 major Lostwave songs being found in ~2 months, or bias, but I really feel like this song will be found soon. At least, I hope it will
I think it's an early Savage Garden demo. Lots of artists have early songs that they consider embarrassing and would prefer to bury forever. (David Bowie, Trent Reznor, Billy Joel, Alanis Morissette...) I think this is another instance of exactly that. I think that Darren's tweet was his way of saying "Yup that's me" while still leaving the door open to a bit of ambiguity.
I don’t get this. This isn’t some super hard too find clip. The song is called Macintosh Plus, Remastered, the Original is by Diana Ross - “it’s your move” don’t understand why this is some big Easter egg.
I never watched "Saved By The Bell", but for some reason, that TV show came to mind when I heard this. Looked through a few and noticed similar music in an episode called Dance To The Max. The song was probably something by a television studio band.
A slight correction: The second WatZatSong's post at 29:08 that got their audio track replaced with EKT still hasn't gone back to normal. I just checked and it's still a remastered version of EKT and not what the OP of that post had. (Although there's still a vocaroo link in the comments of that post.)
i think it's a japanese song from the 80s that was made in a studio that specialized in emulating the "western" sound as this it was trendy to emulate the west in the 80s in japan, and it was probably one among thousands of lesser known almost underground songs with not a real trace to the artists, but just to the production studio as a whole, who sold their songs to various projects and for example, maybe EKT was used as the credit roll music for a lesser known 80s adult anime film (a one off).
Im glad there are people out there doing this sort of work. There was a song I liked back in the late 90’s, early 00’s, but other than about four words of the song and the melody, I knew nothin about the song. I tried contacting radio stations to no avail. Flash forward to last year when I again tried searching the lyrics and got a single hit: I Think I Know by Reno. I’m still on the search for the identity of what I believe is a country song containing something along the lines of “I’ve never seen a new sunrise, but everything is going to be alright” which would have come out pre-2005.

The amount of times this has been commented
This comment gets better every time I see it on every single video about this song. It’s so original.
the one consistent thing i learn from any of these 80's/90's lostwave lost media searches specifically is how many people in the 80's/90's had the exact same singing voice.
It's funny 'cause it's true!
Like how everyone in the 50's sounded identical!
Now that you mention it, that trend kinda reminds me of the mid-atlantic accent used by actors in old films. Wonder if that style of singing has an actual name to it.
Well yeah, everyone knows that.
It's not exclusive to back then, either. Most popular male singers seem to have the same nasally high-pitched singing voice. I have a baritone voice, and it makes singing most pop songs nearly impossible.
Well, guess we know why Carl went silent now.

The original song is on youtube (only the live version, has like 5k views), but the band blocked all the cover versions of their song, including the most popular one. Like, this isn't even some unknown song. Both the original band and the cover performer are well known locally. The arrangement of the original song and the vocals are a$$, unfortunately.
Gotta love when someone is being about as rude as possible to you and then they say, “others won’t be as nice to you as I am.” Mate, most people are nicer than you are.
i was gonna comment this, what an entitled stick up the ass to be referring to himself as nice ffs

16:10 - “For some reason multiple websites let us know that his blood type is B” - blood type is actually popularly viewed similarly to zodiac signs in Japan, so it’s like listing a musician as a leo or something
Yep, it's called the "Blood Type Personality Theory". Was gonna comment this before I saw yours!
ohh okay i didn't realize that! makes a lot more sense now haha
Yep, it's meant to determine your personality and skills, and compatibility with someone else. Certain blood types supposedly aren't compatible with eachother.
It's also a big thing in Korea - you'll almost always find blood type listed on a Korean idol/celebrity site. There's a funny webcomic about it called "A Simple Thinking About Blood Type" which even got adapted into a (very obscure) anime if you wanna learn about the stereotypes lol
So that's why there are blood type emojis next to the zodiac sign emojis. It always appeared to me as such a weird choice but I guess these were ported together over from the Japanese character set.

THAT GUY WHO SAID IT WAS A PORNO WASNT TROLLING
Just have the wrong movie.
Who?
1:36 is just crazy.
I am still laughing so hard about this being from a porno! XD
My 2 cents: When I first heard the clip, my impression was that it sounded EXACTLY like one of those 'fake songs' that would be used in TV shows (because they couldn't afford the rights to license anything real)...usually a hastily thrown together pretend song. That would explain the short clip, as a show might have dialogue etc that would cut it off. (as if the song were used as a background element in a scene....maybe at a concert or nightclub scene) TYou would hear this kind of stuff routinely in sitcoms or cop shows.
Ooh, interesting theory!
Heads up, usually it's called a sound-alike and I'm not sure if they're still terribly common, but there used to be companies dedicated to making these. I'd imagine it's hard to find records from any though.
I thought it sounded like a song heard in a "driving up to a location in a convertable" or " people dancing on a beach" song from a low budget mid to late 80s movie.
I thought the same thing, like Saved By The Bell, or City Guys
I've seen others say the drumset used in the song is too expensive to own for it to be fake, but this might fix that issue. If it was a short tune commissioned by a large company it could've been done by session musicians who own their own gear.
i like how it's called "everyone knows that" and yet, no one knows it

Yeah and the Macintosh Plus and Vaporwave intro made me smile.
I’m pretty sure they’re using the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack.
Right? Lost media is often portrayed as a sort of discount true crime, but that aesthetic really feels out of place when the lost media at hand is something like a 15 seconds clip of some funky tunes or a short episode of a sitcom or something.

Lol
this reminds me of something: If you've seen the Teen Titans GO! episode 40% 40% 20%, Cyborg is obsessed with a song by a band called B.E.R. "Night Begins to Shine". It's interesting because the song is not a "real" 80s song, or a "real" 80s band. It was recorded in 2005 by Carl Burnett (the B in B.E.R) as an 80s themed song, and put into a music library. They found it while working on the previous episode "Slumber Party" because it was also 80s themed, and thought it sounded like a cool band, and used it, not realizing it was just "music library" fodder, essentially. The internet made it massively popular, in part because of 40% 40% 20% (which has a badass music video).
That said, it makes me wonder if it's hard to find this because it was possibly recorded for a music library. I mean, music library stuff has existed since before the internet.
Good point
love teen titans go, love 'night begins to shine'
True, true! I remember that song!
The night begins to shine goes so hard for no reason
Reminds me of when I used to go thrifting with my parents, I found some sound effect records from 1973, I can't remember exactly which ones, but some of the sounds I recognized from TV and even memes of recent times.

I also very much enjoyed your work and Jorge’s help on this, it was astounding.
I have to imagine this person heard "lost media" and could only interpret it as those "lost episode" creepypastas that were everywhere 10 years ago. Certainly a needlessly hostile/crabby response though.

A. Not everyone is into this sort of stuff and some people find it cringey.
B. Getting pummeled with endless requests to release the song would be extremely annoying and would leave most people in a sour mood.
To add to this, anyone that would have listened to a few of the songs from it and actually used their brains rather than simply looking at genres on discogs would easily deduce that the song in question would not be on the compilation simply because it is a vastly different style of music than the other songs on it.

Regarding that Japanese user with the compilation album, as someone who has covered quite a few Japanese lost media topics myself, I've found that Japan doesn't really have a dedicated lost media community over there. There's a pretty popular wiki for lost commercials specifically, but I have yet to encounter any centralized hub in for lost media/lostwave in Japanese. Some people are terrified of copyright-related repercussions/legal action (Japanese copyright law is mad strict and many unclaimed old film reels and music tracks are outright destroyed because the legality of holding them and not owning the rights is so complex.
In my own search for the Akihabara tape song, I've found that the OP and owner of the tape had actually thrown out the original cassette tape with the song on it, and is a bit vague in correspondences. I feel they may just be apprehensive for legal reasons themselves.
TLDR: I really wish Japan took media preservation more seriously. I've been simmering the idea of opening a Japanese language wiki for lost media and just adding articles myself to hopefully spread some awareness and interest.
Media preservation is slowly taking a surgence over there
Is that why I can't find the song "toi et moi" anywhere?? It was a japanese singer's song and I thought it had something to do with pokemon but i can't find it anywhere.
Knowing all that we were so lucky Plastic Love survived. 😂
Fr, it's a shame so much Japanese music gets taken off UA-cam because of copyright, even older songs. I uploaded a couple of things and while they're still available to watch, I think they're blocked in Japan itself due to copyright
I agree with this, there is tons of old anime lost and untranslated because japan did not release it and most copies have been destroyed or disappeared. Massive shame, theres even things like lost anime merchandise too where people have a picture of an item but you will absolutely never find any history on it.

the first comment since it was found
Just a fun fact : the reason why Joe Rinoie's blood type can be found so easily on the Internet is because in Japan, blood types work in a similar way astrological signs do in western countries. Also, it was kinda weird to see EKT on French news as it's not really known here, I don't know any french videos on the subject (even though French UA-cam had shown interest in mysterious songs before like Like The Wind), this report is one few places it was even covered. Anyway, very cool video ! Glad to see Jorge here !

-Made pop songs between 1983-1988 and 1990
-Songs mostly in English
-Sounds similar from their tracks
-Made Jingles for brands in the 80s
If you want to hear their tracks, its on their Soundcloud page, however full albums are still lost media.
Wait whats their band name? rage band?
it was from a porn film lol
i wish it was true..
Turns out the main lead wasn't NTSC, but NSFW.
The "NTSC frequency line" could have easily been baked in the original recording at the studio.
Many studios have screens within the recording room, and it's very common to find ~15kHz frequencies in the recording caused by their presence during the recording session. Many commercially released tracks have this burned in.
The notion that the presence of this line is necessarily due to how Carl92 recorded the sample himself is just not so.
There are more holes in this whole thing:
This frequency comes from the horizontal deflection yoke vibrating due to the powerful oscilating magnetic field it generates to move the elctron beam from left to right on the screen. NTSC does it at 15734Hz and PAL at 15625Hz
That's about a 0.7% difference. How can they be so sure it's NTSC for certain and not PAL? Especially given the high probability that this was captured from audio or video tape, radio, or whatever, where this frequency could have shifted up or down by that much or even more.
Kudos to the guy that had the knowledge to look for this, but it's just not as good a clue as he thought. In fact, I would say it can't be considered to be a clue at all.

well at least we know why carl left no details 😭
I’m literally sobbing it wasn’t a chip crunching it was a bed creaking
A 27 year old claiming to be an old man telling people to "get off their lawn" is just silly. That's coming someone who's 45, and I don't think I'm ready for the "get off their lawn" bit even though my body is definitely showing some real signs of aging, now. This can be controversial, but as far as I can tell, there is no real meaning to life. So, the best thing you can do is provide a meaning, yourself. I've been there looking for a song from my childhood that I had no idea what it was called. If it gives your life a little spark, then it's all worth while.
He really wanted to tell them to stop having fun
I think I get it now…
The person who said that it was from an adult film must be feeling so vindicated now.
That Darren segment had me absolutely stunned, the comparison legit sounded like it could have been from the same exact song it sounded so close. I was dead set on it being a female singer until I heard that, combine that with the tweet and that’s probably the closest lead y’all have found! I really hope it gets found so I can add it to my playlist!
Exactly. Why the poster of this video and everyone else just let it go is beyond me.

I can see how someone would misremember "Angels of Passion" as "Desire" after almost 40 years.
Can relate, took me ages (like 10s of years) to find an old 80s megamix of Tainted Love. Finally someone uploaded it on here and I happened across it.
Is that the one where tainted love transitions into where did our love go? Had trouble finding that for ages ahaha
@@greatbritishedits6602Ah, now, I have that, it's a 12 inch. But the one I was after had a load of samples from TV and FIlm and a load of other songs from the era. I found it here watch?v=fqkkhj5zcjc :)
Great video. I was actually the person who got in touch with Rolling Stone as I thought it would make a great article. They emailed me back thanking me for giving them the heads up for bringing it to their attention as they looked into it and thought it sounded fascinating.
Back in the 80's club DJ's or radio DJ's would be given "single" records from music labels, to play at clubs and create some buzz. You could of course just pick one up a record store yourself too. The singles would usually have a radio edit, extended version, and a dance remix. I have found more than a few of these singles from thrift stores. Some of them were absolute bops, even though it was from a obscure musician no one has ever heard of and only had a few thousand or hundreds of views on UA-cam. The song in question had to of been recorded from a vinyl to tape then recorded back to a PC for whatever reason. There's an absolute mountain of these singles, finding this song would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The vinyl is probably sitting in someones collection in Europe and they just don't know it.
Or even worse, it was just some short experiment that never became a full song, and we've just run across a trail of people sharing a cool mixtape of what's little more than samples.
do you own any
I remember long time ago getting a single for under a buck, and unfortunately misplaced tape long ago and searching ever since but lyrics were about gatta get a Roughneck, and it was a female rapper singing, think it was titled Roughneck but that was in the late 80’s. It was really catchy and been trying to figure so I could use it in a short indie film, hopefully before my glioma takes over ... life... just gatta 😆
13:49 the person knows what was cooking
"im not like those other 27 year olds, I don't like creepy pastas. I'm a cool guy"
@Orlen-zi6jyhe is also apparently not 27 at all
@Orlen-zi6jy he is 14 lmaoo
@Orlen-zi6jy idk either why he claimed to be 27
@Orlen-zi6jy To actually answer your question, he probably isn’t. The Takeshita Ohta video he posted is 6 years old, which means he would be posting these videos Atleast 6 years ago, with the UA-cam channel being made in 2014, and LastFM being made in 2012.
A little explanation that is more than a few words;
Everyone Knows that (Ulterior Motives) was indeed found. The recording that Carl played was featured in an Adult Film that I won't name, but you can find it after a little searching.
The song itself was recorded by Christopher Booth who also goes by Christopher Saint. From what I know so far, he plans on trying to find the original recording without the... noises from said film. If he can't find that, he plans on re-recording it.
I just asked my mother who was in her 20s in the 80s if she’d heard this song before. She said that it has the same sort of generic rhythm and chord progression of that era (which could definitely point to why it sounds so familiar to everyone) and she said it could be a song from a Motown (the record company) girl group. She also said the grainy, low quality could be because it was recorded in a disco, concert or club or something. I don’t know if this could be a lead, but it may prove fruitful to dig really deep into the super underground girl groups of Motown’s from that era and see where it gets us.
edit: OKAY GUYS YES I KNOW THAT ITS BEEN FOUND AND WHAT ITS ORIGIN IS 😭 but i never said my mum had HEARD it before, just that its rhythm is of that era which she recognised as she was in her 20s and yk how 80s music is LMFAO. so yeah just to clear that up 🫡
You should probably post this in a forum and not in the comment sections where it could be lost to time. Very helpful leads
It may be from an acetate or cassette. It may be a girl band or female singer in a garage type of band who just did songs on their own and maybe a few bar gigs, broke up and the women got married and had kids. Women often do a band for a bit and then become mom's. Especially if the band is just a fun type of hobby and nothing serious. My advice I was giving too is to show the clip to people in their 50s and up who were kids to 25 back then obsessed with 80s punk/dance songs. Someone may know of the female herself. Maybe it's a starter band and song before they broke up to be a big band we know. 🙂
Well, well, well... Your mother has a taste, I'll give her that lmao
@soyjoyy Indeed😈
To people who claimed it was AI: how does it feel to be wrong about everything?
To be honest, the response at 17:00 is so disheartening, but more so because no matter what draws folks into a new genre of music - the overall benefits of these searches are bringing more attention to non mainstream art and music and often recovery and archiving of lost or near lost media. I understand annoyance from being bombarded by questions and inquiries - but it seems that was not the cause of the ire - it was plain ole gatekeeping of a new and different generation/audience finding interest in a musician since it was tied to "annoying creepypasta searches" or w/e
He chalked finding lost pieces of media up to creppypasta bullshit. Clearly doesnt understand its not the same thing and is too ignorant to try and open up to something new
@@austinsmith7731Wait til he meets someone who tells him he's ruining the music industry by uploading songs, because digital uploads are never going to be as good (to them) as listening to vinyl records and he's "enabling" this ruination of music culture.
He's prolly agree with them lol
It's extra annoying because that guy says he's only 27 and he acts like he's scolding little children. I guess since he associates lost media with creepypastas and general web horror, and is too proud or whatever to familiarise himself with what lost media actually is, he assumes we're all kids. I'm in my mid 30s and I absolutely love lost media/lostwave, but it isn't even that big of a deal how old we all are. I'm not gonna judge kids for loving creepypastas or whatever else they're into, and I'm also certainly not going to gatekeep anyone who wants to get into my favourite topics, no matter their age.
It's not disheartening, it's pathetic lmao. You can read the internalized loneliness in this mf 😂
that guy was a grade A a**hole
There was a song that was always on the radio around 1972 that you'd think would be a top 40 song because of the amount of airplay it got, but I've never been able to find it in any top 40 list from that era.
Was it a more local hit by chance? I was a bit surprised to learn that Lake Shore Drive for instance wasn't a huge hit outside of the Chicago and St Louis areas considering it seemed like such a classic locally.
Lake Shore Drive may not have been a huge hit outside the Great Lakes area, but it's certainly not unknown. I'm in my 30's and from the deep south and I know and love that song.
@@amoureux6502 Wow really? I guess growing up in the Chicagoland area I just assumed it was an iconic song everywhere.
On the off-chance anyone is interested, the stock/background footage from about 5:50 to 6:10 is from River Falls Mall (circa 1993), which was in Clarksville, IN until it closed. The full video in higher quality is available on UA-cam, and as of this posting can be easily found using the name of the mall and the year mentioned.
Thank you! I actually was curious.
its so sad when someone is hostile about lost media, calling it "embarassing/cringe/internet/creepypasta". As an artist myself, I care so much about finding, preserving and seeing and hearing other people's art. Someone put human feeling into that lost media! I can't imagine anything more heartfelt than a whole community of strangers beingmoved by your art, then dedicating time to rescuing it. maybe Im biased. I just think the drive to preserve lost art is heartwarming.

@@sombertoboggly20:20 what's the song playing in theback ground?

No wonder carl disappeared...
Blood type thing - Japan has a huge obsession with blood types and the idea that it correlates to personality! It's really common for blood type to be included in character descriptions for anime or video games.
Oh man I had no idea, I was playing this skateboarding game at an arcade that included the characters blood type in the description! I was very confused to say the least..
I wouldn't call it "huge obsession", though. It has about the same level of cultural interest as horoscopes-fun to know and talk about, but few people actually take it seriously.
5:22 - "There is a chance it isn't anywhere online". There's also a chance it IS online, maybe even uploaded directly to UA-cam, but just hasn't been "found" by anyone from the lost media community yet. This has happened to at least one "lost" song before, can't remember the title of it, but it was eventually "found" and had been on UA-cam already for at least 2-3 years before the search even began, complete with comments all throughout the supposedly "lost" era. Sometimes it's just a matter of being in front of the right people at the right time.

I really think it’s darren hayes, the vocals sound so insanely similar.

I think him posting that vague status was basically him admitting it was him without actually doing it
Exactly
Just one problem though...Savage Garden didn't form until 1993 and didn't relase their first album until 1997...who the hell was making music like that in the 90s?
Even people who made new wave in the 80s didn't sound like that in the 90s lol.
Some of your young folks do not realize this but there was nothing more uncool in the nineties than the eighties. The 80s didn't become cool again until 2000.
@@Chelaxim that doesn't mean it can't be darren/sound garden, though! plenty of bands have a sound that seems reminiscent of an era that isn't their own and is maybe seen as "uncool" in their time. if you listen to the clip of darren's early demos, you have to admit it sounds startingly like EKT. just because it would have been "uncool" for him to make an 80s sounding song doesn't mean it's impossible :]
Your very wrong....
13:53 well that didn't age quite well...
To answer one of the questions from a comment flashed on screen. Yes. Darren Hayes does have a history of being a jokester. Some of the interviews from where he was on The Masked Singer showed how much he was messing around with the kids on the show as a grim reaper. He realized that he had to step it down a notch and stop scaring the kids so that they would want to vote for him. Joking is well within his character.
I'm not gonna lie, for being one of the most mysterious and elusive songs on the internet, it has become one of my favorites. EKT and all it's fan remakes are just so good and I really hope the real deal will be found this year.
Edit: Y'all. Wtf was Carl doing???
I'm so happy that EKT is getting so much recognition. It was the song that got me into Lostwave and has remained one of my top favorites. Maybe its due to 5 major Lostwave songs being found in ~2 months, or bias, but I really feel like this song will be found soon. At least, I hope it will
Watching this in hindsight is too funny, she even mentions the correct source at 13:45 😭
I think it's an early Savage Garden demo. Lots of artists have early songs that they consider embarrassing and would prefer to bury forever. (David Bowie, Trent Reznor, Billy Joel, Alanis Morissette...) I think this is another instance of exactly that. I think that Darren's tweet was his way of saying "Yup that's me" while still leaving the door open to a bit of ambiguity.
Heard of that, you have the link to his tweet?
I don’t get this. This isn’t some super hard too find clip. The song is called Macintosh Plus, Remastered, the Original is by Diana Ross - “it’s your move” don’t understand why this is some big Easter egg.

'if blameitonjorje is involved, it's going to get solved' the prophecy has been proven true. Yet again.
A slight correction:
The second WatZatSong's post at 29:08 that got their audio track replaced with EKT still hasn't gone back to normal. I just checked and it's still a remastered version of EKT and not what the OP of that post had. (Although there's still a vocaroo link in the comments of that post.)
i think it's a japanese song from the 80s that was made in a studio that specialized in emulating the "western" sound as this it was trendy to emulate the west in the 80s in japan, and it was probably one among thousands of lesser known almost underground songs with not a real trace to the artists, but just to the production studio as a whole, who sold their songs to various projects and for example, maybe EKT was used as the credit roll music for a lesser known 80s adult anime film (a one off).
I agree
This was my first thought as well!!!
No.. 😅
Carl was smart to disappear, man accidentally put his stash on blast
Im glad there are people out there doing this sort of work. There was a song I liked back in the late 90’s, early 00’s, but other than about four words of the song and the melody, I knew nothin about the song. I tried contacting radio stations to no avail. Flash forward to last year when I again tried searching the lyrics and got a single hit: I Think I Know by Reno. I’m still on the search for the identity of what I believe is a country song containing something along the lines of “I’ve never seen a new sunrise, but everything is going to be alright” which would have come out pre-2005.
