Sexy little things' sabi/chorus melody copied from Ganbare Goemon?
 

So... there's a BGM in Ganbare Goemon (a video game) called "Let's Try The Next One! / Tsugi te miyou!" and the melody starting at around 47 seconds is basically the same as the one in Sexy little things. (From onna wa itsumo up until the kakko tsuke rareru portion)



I wonder if this was unintentional/subconscious? (Will previously kind of had something like this with the hira hira hira hira section and a BGM from Kiki's Delivery Service.)

It was brought up on 2ch and I thought it was interesting, haha.

Considering there are millions of songs in the world and only so many notes, some songs are bound to sound like each other whether intentional or not.

Interesting! Thanks for posting :)

Wow, that is EXACTLY the same!! :shakehead I mean, that is a very simple melody, but that's a pretty spectacular coincidence, if this wasn't intentional. >_>

The similarity in that part is obvious, but I don't think it was intentional.
I used to lose that game haha.

maybe it was intentionally.. SLT is a very video-game sound-like song for me ^^

Tha song is super funky! I like it! haha

eithor or. . i was just listening to some 80s song and thought it sounded like SLT. SLT is one of those songs with that kind of chorus that is nostalgic to something classic.

It could also be some sort of "common" japanese melody that is often sampled for parody purporses. I mean...Ganbare Goemon IS a japanese culture parody game after all!;)

lmao kewl

o.O! OMG!

it's EXACTLY the same!

Just the game soundtrack with ayu's cute lyrics... >.<

well, maybe similarity, but IDK...

PS: the game looks so cute! >.<

whoa thats similar O,O

Hmm, it's just that one part that sounds similar, kinda reminds me of that one part in that old chinese song that kinda sounded like GREEN. There's some similarities, but not enough to say it was copied/plagiarism.

that's EXACTLY the same!! i wonder what is the composer of this song doing? =x

at the end it sounds really alike ^^

at first i thought it was another stupid thread :P

haha yeah it's the same...
from what i know the rules is if the part that has the same melody is not more than 8 bar, we can't say that it's copying...
but i think this one is more than 8 bar...but nah...it's complicated about this copying thing...
the thing i know is that i love sexy little things very much...so...

Well, if it is a Japanese parody game, who says Ayu wasn't doing a parody of the parody? haha
Meh. Doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love SLT. :heart

It sounds like SLT just samples this melody, and I'm assuming Yuta Nakano has the rights to use it or it's not long enough to need to acquire the rights...
I like it though it's cute!!

the similarity it's too funny!!

Well, then this one's ok I guess. This same melody only goes on for 4 bars. ^^

Real interesting find though. ;)

Inter-r-r-r-r-r resting!

I totally agree. :D♥ And that doesn't sound much like a totally brutal ripoff even if it was copied. :laugh Cool find though.

oh my God.

I'm shocked.

well, well, I guess it's not that surprising since Slt is a really 8-bit game kinda song. I suppose Yuta Nakano sampled the melody here

Ooooh it is quite similar

wow it does sounds similar! This reminds me of the ancient thread with walking proud sounding similar to Kinki Kids's song angel.

THAT WAS EPIC! and now I can't stop listening to that.

Haha, that was cool :laugh.

Huh, that is pretty similar..
and I think I've played that game!

LOL wow that sounds just like SLT!

Nice. I like the sound of this soundtrack, too! It might have been copied, but wouldn't they technically have to give some sort of credit?

^ maybe they bought the melody, or bribed/gave the original composers some money to shut their mouths up lol

LOL only a small part but really haha, cute XP

just curious, how is namie a disgrace to the music industry? I'm really curious lol

ah~! i recognized that part~
