I know Asuka, and this wasn't intentional.

@âKennyLâ#p60973 thank you for posting this! I totally lost this thread.
This threadâs so good.
âTrialâ from Ace Attorney has a cue that comes straight outta Thousand Knives.

if you just speed up the melody it's not plagiarism
@âKennyLâ#p60973 If Chemical Plant was really inspired by a single bar of Prince's music, then kudos to all parties
i knew i recognized the B part of this Schumann songâŚSuikoden ripped it off!!

i linked the vids to start at the relevant parts. the songs are in different keys but the melody is essentially the same. according to Wikipedia Miki Higashino is "one of only a small handful of game composers capable of scoring a full orchestra" so ya gotta believe she was aware of this tune and it was done on purpose
âPlagiarismâ is a strong word, but this track (âOmoideâ from Suigetsu: Mayoigokoro) I discovered as part of a DC music compilation starts out a heck of a lot like âIn My Lifeâ by The Beatles:

this thread rules but makes me really question what is plagiarism, whatâs homage, and whatâs all in between that which like NOT THAT THATâS BEEN A DISCUSSION FOR DECADES, especially with the onset of hip-hop/sample-based music and differing cultural norms on what does or doesnât fly as far as using motifs heard elsewhere. (obviously there's a huge difference between just note for note dropping a song into your game, and doing some pastiche-y reference like the âenglandâ background tune in nes super dodge ball). capitalism and intellectual property laws sure gummed up the works of the exchange of artistic ideas huh??
either way, love this stuff haha
@âKennyLâ#p60973 this guy is a GOLDMINE of this stuff, dig thru his archives like a year or so ago, there's like dozens of similar tiktoks like this (and a bunch going the other way, this one maybe being my fav)

This one is different enough itâs definitely not plagiarism, but thereâs a certain similarity in there
Yu Suzukiâs weird Apple Arcade game has the funniest soundtrack of all time. Itâs like all songs that sound like bits and pieces of Queen tracks. Incredibly goofy move.

Also kind of an odd instance of self-plagiarism. Toby Fox put a bit of one of his earlier songs into his work on Pokemon:

The bit in question is from a song off of "The Baby is You," Toby's rock opera album about homestuck mpreg.

(the person who noticed this last one uploaded the midi to youtube because they noticed the similarity, which is kinda neat)
i suppose with racing hero and ridge racer, you could argue it's an homage (as choro q games are also racing games), but the random midi makes me less certain that was the composer's intention...
(choro q still has lots of [great](https://youtu.be/4dmhtI_g774) original (to my knowledge) music, at least!)
Hereâs a fun one cause itâs the inverse of most of the posts in this thread:

Kerokero Village from Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure seems to borrow a couple motives from Totoâs Africa. Iâve time-stamped the most noticeable example, but some more subtle ones are scattered all throughout.

Not exactly plagarism since Parodius music is mostly based on classical music but hereâs one based on Thatâs The Way (I Like It) by KC & The Sunshine Band.
