Some comments are harsher on Kondo than the video, and some of the comments are saying all copying is fine, which is going too far in the opposite direction. The truth is, some of these are common musical idioms that aren't *specific* enough to be plagiarised, like the Starman theme, which is just modulating between two seventh chords in a pretty common way. But it's still interesting! Because it does it in a way that was a common genre convention in the genres Kondo was listening to (which this video absolutely understands ), and helps us understand a composer who, to Western ears, seems to almost have magic powers, because he's drawing from genre idioms we weren't exposed to. The only exception, I think, is the underground theme... especially rhythmically, it almost has to be Kondo deliberately quoting a tune he liked a lot, and then remixing it a bit as a kind of homage. He probably wouldn't have done that if he knew people would be analysing these 80s bleeps decades later, but to his credit he does seem to namedrop all the artists that influence him, which shows integrity.
It's understandable that most people here wouldn't see this based on deep musical understanding. Not everyone here plays an instrument, of course. But, really, you've gotta have a better understanding of music for your opinion to hold merit in this particular case. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I have been playing guitar for 12 years now. For example, I see a lot of popular comments here complaining about the Starman theme. As I see it, it's really not that special. It's basic. It's just a piece revolving around two chords (G major and Gmajsus, correct me if I'm wrong) played on repeat and really fast. On guitar, it sounds like something a highschool band can come up with. Kondo would've made something similar without having heard of the song he allegedly copied it from. Hell, before I watched this video I thought the composer of that short instrumental came up with it because he couldn't think of anything else, like he was rushing for a deadline or something.
As a musician, I can atest to the fact that when writting music, elements from our favorite songs often slip in unconscious. John Williams Star Wars is a big example, as he was a big fan of the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst.
The other big one with Williams and Star Wars is STRAVINSKY. I listened to Stravinsky for the first time and I was like “why does it feel like I’m having an X-wing/spaceship space battle when this music was written in like 1910.”

Yeah, these connections get even more obvious when you hear how they expanded these themes in the later games. The mario flying music sounds super similar, and the Overworld theme in Mario Odyssey is almost a straight cover.
@@ITSTAKING Me too lol! But everything great is a copy of something else just with a lil' tweek. I still think these Nintendo tunes and games are legendary.
One thing that I find genius about the Mario theme is that it has timing lag. The notes come alittle later than you are expecting (this is very easy to notice when you listen to covers of it since allmost no one covering it has this lag). This delay makes your own responses feal quicker and more "intense". The music is esential for the games experince. This effect is intensified since the sound effects are not delayed.
Just wanted to quickly address one thing in this otherwise informative video. In this context fusion is short for jazz fusion. So when Kondo says 'Japanese Fusion' he means jazz fusion from Japan as opposed to jazz fusion from America (like Herbie Hancock). City pop is basically Japanese pop with a big disco/soul influence. There's a lot of overlap between jazz fusion, soul, and funk but Casoipea and T Square fall under jazz fusion and the Tatsuro Yamashita and Piper records are City pop. Not trying to be a pedantic genre police just wanted to point out that the terms aren't synonymous!
2:30 That's just an ascending arpeggio in fours, there's hundreds of classical pieces that have that pattern. Everyone is inspired by music they listen to though, none of this should come as a surprise.
It is indeed very interesting Kondo's early music happened to be coincidental to older artists' songs. But it is true, NO major work exists without being inspired by something made prior.
Amazing video! I've been listening to City Pop and Japanese Fusion for a while now and I recognized almost all these bands! I got literal chills when Tatsuro Yamashita's Morning Glory was put next to the fairy fountain! That's just awesome!
I for one am happy that he took so much inspiration from the songs that surrounded him, since those Nintendo tunes are total bangers and will be remembered for ever and ever!
There's a song called "Perfect Way" by an 80s synthpop group called "Scritti Politti". Listen to the piano solo midway through the song. It's the main "theme" to Super Mario World (the song you hear in different iterations in many different stages throughout the game).
Hey ! The number 1 french RUclipsr named Cyprien talked about you video during a live on Twitch one or two weeks ago. He recorded it and uploaded this video today ! Thats the reason why a lot of french people are talking about him in your comment section 😂 I just wanted you to know. Very good job btw. You have a great youtube channel ! Keep it up man ❤
I cannot put into words properly how happy it makes me to hear all this. I often worry too much that my music sounds too similar to other songs, even unintentionally, and hearing these examples really made me reconsider my mentality on "copying".
That is fucking accurate!! It's quite a slap in the face when you realize Daft Punk pretty much didn't "create anything", all their good riffs and pieces come from oldschool artists.
..... And other composers don't do this?? There's THOUSANDS of songs in video games that are ripped. I've found hundreds of ripped off songs and I bet I've only found a small fraction of them.
It reminds me of a common theme seen in the Japanese music industry during the 80s - 90s: pop and soundtrack composers would oftentimes take and incorporate pieces from another work to start off the track, changing a few notes or chords here and there to make it distinct but still recognizable. My theory is that they do this because the melodies are clever and tend to be awfully nostalgic. They serve as a good jumping-off point for making their own tracks. Some notable examples from my own listening experience include: - Shiro Sagisu quotes John Barry and some 70s-80s era pop songs in his Evangelion scores. - Toshiki Kadomatsu’s “Girl in the Box” / Change’s “Paradise” - Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe’s “Reiko” / Earth Wind & Fire’s “Let’s Groove” - [Patlabor] Hiroko Kasahara’s “Interface” / Jigsaw’s “Sky High” - [Ninja Scroll] Ryohei Yamagishi’s “Somewhere, Faraway, Everyone is Listening...” / DeVorzon & Botkin’s “Nadia’s Theme” - [Kimagure Orange Road] Masanori Ikeda’s “Kiken an Triangle” / Robbie Nevil’s “C’est la Vie” - [Kimagure Orange Road] Kanako Wada’s “Kanashii Heart wo Moeteiru” / Pet Shop Boys’ “Domino Dancing” - Nobuo Uematsu quotes some Christmas tunes in his Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon scores. He also quotes a couple The Ventures tracks on a Chocobo theme in FF7. - Koichi Sugiyama quotes “It’s a Small World” and “Oh You Beautiful Doll” in the Dragon Quest games. - Pieces from John Williams’s Imperial March show up in Suikoden II, Super Sentai, and many Gundam series. - Bits of Tchaikovsky appear in Pokémon RBY Gen 1 themes. - Lots of melodies in Toei’s World Masterpiece Theater anime series draw inspiration from Disney songs. - Anime composer Yoko Kanno has too many of these song intro homages to count. For an example, look up “The Real Folk Blues” from Cowboy Bebop and compare it to Bo Kaspers Orkester’s “En Världsomsegling Under Havet”.
This reminds me of a time my brother and his band had to make a song, and after about three hours, settled on a familiar sounding song, but I it was good. By playing the song faster, they figured out that it was Spider-Man and had to start over
Lots of people sound like they’re complaining, but I’m so thankful for his ‘renditions of covers’ for these legendary games because could you imagine these games without those incredible iconic songs/sounds?! I think it’s awesome and would be a great honor.
T-SQUARE and Cassiopea both are very popular,even some TV stations in Japan, Thailand, Cambodia,etc. used their music pieces for sign-on/off duos and weather music.
So according to youtube the man in bottom right corner at 2:01 is a hard-rock-year-old man named Japanese Fusion who lives in Foreign, Jazz. Shame on you for exposing this poor man's identity.
Great video. You missed a big one, though. Mort Garson in 1976, “Concerto for a Philodendron” is the source for Zelda’s Lullaby, first appearing in LttP.
That one is more likely coincidence, unless Kondo explicitly stated he listened to that album. Keep in mind is wasn't nearly as popular then as it is now, and it's a very simple melody that pops up in many songs. BUT I will say the first time I listened to it I did immediately make the connection too LOL
This is awesome! I wonder if he heard Hiroshi Satoh’s 1985 Beatles cover ‘This Boy’. The intro melody sounds eerily similar to Garson’s tune, which may have in turn inspired Hiroshi and/or Koji Kondo
I'm not sure, these are substantially different enough that I don't think it could be considered theft. It's only a few notes in most cases, and it's very easy to find comparisons that are sometimes completely coincidental. Now, if you want something bordering on outright theft, check out the original Doom and Doom 2 soundtracks. They are my favorite games of all time, I absolutely love the music, and Bobby Prince is awesome, but there is no denying the blatant use of popular metal of the time.
@@Phobos_Anomaly I feel ya, but he seemed to take the most important notes - the ones that set the "tone" - and just changed the rest. It reminds me of how Led Zeppelin stole the intro arpeggio for Stairway. Or how Nirvana stole "Come as You Are" from Killing Joke.
i think when artists are so inspired by other particular artists, they are outright open and obvious about their compositions as sort of a tribute, and they are open about the possibility of being caught because they are not trying to take credit, but rather expand on the world of music and creativity.
I've been thinking about this recently after hearing "Concerto for Philodendron & Pothos" from the album Plantasia. Zelda's lullaby has a pretty clear resemblance to that song. It's cool to see more examples in your video!
Ah yeah, I stumbled across that one whilst researching this video - the similarity is pretty crazy! It didn't really fit in with the whole "genre" thing I was going for though, so I didn't end up including it. Super interesting though!
Kondo picks a few notes to start himself off, then diverge in a completely different direction. It's hard to say if these few successive notes count or not as plagiarism. The same question arises in writing (comedy or else) when the set-up is eerily similar yet veer into a completely novel punchline/conclusion.
I'm amazed of how many people think anything is composed ex nihilo, without any influence. When you compose music at first you're kinda frustrated of how much your work looks like other stuff already exists, but then you have to accept that EVERYTHING you compose is gonna sound like something (by influence or by pure randomness) in some way or another. The combinations are finite.
Same! Honestly I thought it was such an obscure, b side from one of their lesser known albums, (Deep Purple III is easily my favourite album even if it's one of the lesser known ones), but I genuinely guffawed when I saw Koji took inspiration for the underworld theme for LoZ. It's crazy how similar it is.
@@ODR96 I know! I am one of those sad cretins that just go wild when I see any of my favourite songs get referenced, so when I saw something as seemingly obscure as April being the centerpiece of a video, I was incredibly surprised and happy. It is amazing how something so obscure is such a major staple in many peoples minds.
It's crazy; even if Mario and Luigi consume hard drugs everytime for on trying to be more mighter. They are not available on to create something wonderful, rather than to kill (wild) animals.
Back in the 60s there were all these cool psychedelic rock bands. One was The bEatles and another was called The Byrds. They never STOLE stuff from each other but they took ideas from each other to create new songs. Everyone was borrowing riffs and ideas and no one was mad because that’s what music is. Other than Friendship (which wow it’s EXACTLY the same😳) everything else is a clear inspiration but it’s not like Koji Kondo didn’t create anything. The Mario theme is iconic and other than those first few notes (which once again, almost the same song) the rest of the Mario theme is totally original. Don’t forget things like the Zelda over world theme and the Princess Peach castle theme. Koji Kondo is a genius. But this is still eye opening for someone who’s never seen this or heard these tracks before. Shout out to the Game Grumps for bringing me here
@@Nathan-gs5tw Yes, but the point is that they're often more than just "slight resemblances". He sometimes almost copied the exact melody. And it didn't happen only once or twice. The combined amount of it makes it difficult to believe that it was mere coincidence. I'm not hating. I'm just saying that his excuse is very weak, especially when you consider his favorite past time as a student.
@@ShootAUT the thing is, there's no need to find an excuse. For just about any song there is, you can find an earlier one that ranges from pretty similar to nearly identical. It's just how art works.
@@joscott9978 You have to listen to the intro of "Wing cap theme" and listen to Summer breeze intro. They have the same melody. I wasn't debating the "Starman" similarity as "Wing cap" is a variation of "Starman" so yeah, you can hear it in both. I just personally think it sounds most similar to "Wing cap".
Fabian L still it’s just that all those combinations are not like a still photo. They follow sequences. We we directly. (I mean directly ) can identify by hearing 2-3 seconds. If then that is followed by additional similarities we recognize the song. And at the same time find all the similar songs we heard. Which is actually what this movie is showing. What we are saying is when that happen for a composer he get inspired. And as the composer is aware of all this it’s very important that it avoid those sequences to be laid out in similar pattern. Still this happens all the times. Why? Well as said because the composer is inspired by something and that often leads to conscious or subconscious “copying” songs. So the statement that “inspiration is an understatement” here is “yes” it is an understatement the composer here was most likely quite aware that the reused parts and tones of material he liked when creating those songs. And that is not ripping him apart. Actually I find your interpretation of the original post statement a bit strong. It did not bash the composer. Did not downgrade his effort. It’s simple stated that those songs are more than inspired by other music. Which they are.
Fabian L sorry you did not win. Neither did you loose. You just stated YOUR opinion here like everyone else. What you did I fear (at least for me) with the “I win” statement come if as quite immature “I need to win this argument because I am right” person. I hope you are not that and we just misunderstand your good intentions to defend the composer.
This is interesting to hear he was a hard rock fan because I always wondered if the beginning of the 1979 Led Zeppelin song "I'm Gonna Crawl" inspired Zelda music. Now I think it may be more likely than I thought
Sad... But Jimmy Page had an incredible talent of being able to play and sound like any blues guitarist you could name. Hardly ever writing his own work because he wasn't a writer... He was a session guitarist who regularly played famous blues songs at local pubs. Robert Plant was deeply into blues, jazz, folk... Quite a few British guys back then for some odd reason thought it was so cool (almost like hipsters) to listen to this African American music from Southern US and Chicago... No one really understood WHY besides artists like Elvis liked that stuff and the outgoing, young, vibrant males who wanted something entirely different than what they were surrounded by became infatuated with this odd, deep, sad music they felt was genuine and more honest than the status quo of their time. Eventually the UK started creating huge bands that didn't get nearly as much love as they got from overseas... The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin... So these guys that rewrote how rock n roll was played all used influences from alien origins... At least alien to their home country. Outside the UK was an entirely different story. It's actually what makes them good... Because they plagiarise. The guys who truly create original stuff aren't looked at as gifted or talented. They are simply treated as "different". Marc Bolan of T Rex actually had an incredibly original sound with his hippy/folk/sci fi fantasy infused concept called Tyrannosaurus rex, however, he never got the radio play or success until he started playing blues infused macho cock rock that filled 70s era radio airwaves of the time. Leading him into a depression fueled alcoholic and drug riddled lifestyle that resulted in his fatal car accident. :/
@@austonsmith536 Well SNES Zelda music doesn't sound like 1926 blues records, so... but good job being the 800,000th Pitchfork hipster to point out Zeppelin didn't invent all music.
Only people who are not musicians have the romantic idea that music geniuses get that divine inspiration and are completely original. They (non- musicians) are also not aware that it still is as difficult to make memorable music borrowing from orher artists.
3:09 Infamous overword theme? I think you mean famous. Infamous is something recognized by a bad quality or deed. The Mario overworld theme is not associated with those negative connotations. Great video otherwise.
@@Plaayaa69 Let's say he did use sarcasm. Why? What would that help convey in this video? It is not a true statement and adds nothing of substance. There are no other signs to show that he holds any resentment towards the theme in question. There is also a lack of evidence to make the argument that he is mocking the theme, therefore it does not apply. A simple mistake on an otherwise brilliant video.
if you don't get it you don't get it. I am not language expert so I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but infamous is used in this way in regular speech from time to time. Do you notice though how his tone of voice changes when he says infamous.
Haha. Look at all the haters coming along like it's some big secret that a legend was inspired by other artists before them. Everyone is. Even your favorite artists. Did they even watch to the end of the video? Anyway, awesome video. Loved it. As an artist myself, I totally understand and agree with the whole point of it. Nothing ever comes from nothing. Everyone is inspired from someone before them.
This is no joke. I've wrote and composed music that I later found out was something I use to listen to decades ago. Some of my work was way too similar and I had to recompose. Music is nothing like any other artwork. It's somehow more familiar than imagines. It sticks with you. It's more imprinted into memory. A song or a music track that you heard at five years old, forget about, will come back in your 40's out of no where.
honestly, as an aspiring music composer, this video helps me realize something. i’ll often find that the music i try to make sounds similar to other songs, but, especially since i’m just starting out, if i differentiate the music enough, it’s okay if they sound similar. just don’t copy them directly, obviously ^^’
I just could not stop smiling while watching this, great video! The people over at Nintendo are such legends.. creating all those beautiful childhood memmories around the whole world and still living up to that now a days! 10/10 !!!
Hirokazu Tanaka, the composer for Dr. Mario was also a fan of ELP it seems. He quoted a measure or two directly from ELP's 'Karn Evil 9 - 2nd Impression' in one of the three tracks in the game.

As a musician, I can atest to the fact that when writting music, elements from our favorite songs often slip in unconscious. John Williams Star Wars is a big example, as he was a big fan of the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst.
Another example is Rebbeca Sugar's 'Stronger than You' which was heavily inspired by Grover Washington's 'Just the two of us.'
Lucas literally used the Planets Suite as temp music while editing Star Wars. There was nothing unconscious about emulating it. It was their guide.
The other big one with Williams and Star Wars is STRAVINSKY. I listened to Stravinsky for the first time and I was like “why does it feel like I’m having an X-wing/spaceship space battle when this music was written in like 1910.”

that summer breeze track also sounds like the wing cap stage in Mario 64

The wing cap is literally the offspring of summer breeze.
It sounds even more like summer breeze than the star theme
it sounds actually like Frank Zappa "Son of mr. Green Genes"
Because it uses the Star theme.
It is indeed very interesting Kondo's early music happened to be coincidental to older artists' songs. But it is true, NO major work exists without being inspired by something made prior.
Amazing video! I've been listening to City Pop and Japanese Fusion for a while now and I recognized almost all these bands! I got literal chills when Tatsuro Yamashita's Morning Glory was put next to the fairy fountain! That's just awesome!

I for one am happy that he took so much inspiration from the songs that surrounded him, since those Nintendo tunes are total bangers and will be remembered for ever and ever!
*forever
So the underground theme was based off of a jazz fusion song?
I love it even more.
There's a song called "Perfect Way" by an 80s synthpop group called "Scritti Politti". Listen to the piano solo midway through the song. It's the main "theme" to Super Mario World (the song you hear in different iterations in many different stages throughout the game).

I cannot put into words properly how happy it makes me to hear all this.
I often worry too much that my music sounds too similar to other songs, even unintentionally, and hearing these examples really made me reconsider my mentality on "copying".
Koji is the Daft Punk of video game music.
That is fucking accurate!! It's quite a slap in the face when you realize Daft Punk pretty much didn't "create anything", all their good riffs and pieces come from oldschool artists.
@@thisisfyne I think there's a real art to borrowing music to make something new, it just shouldn't be at the expense of your "inspirations"
@@thisisfyne Do you know what sampling means?
..... And other composers don't do this?? There's THOUSANDS of songs in video games that are ripped. I've found hundreds of ripped off songs and I bet I've only found a small fraction of them.
@@matteopiscitello1606 Sampling is lazy.
It reminds me of a common theme seen in the Japanese music industry during the 80s - 90s: pop and soundtrack composers would oftentimes take and incorporate pieces from another work to start off the track, changing a few notes or chords here and there to make it distinct but still recognizable. My theory is that they do this because the melodies are clever and tend to be awfully nostalgic. They serve as a good jumping-off point for making their own tracks.
Some notable examples from my own listening experience include:
- Shiro Sagisu quotes John Barry and some 70s-80s era pop songs in his Evangelion scores.
- Toshiki Kadomatsu’s “Girl in the Box” / Change’s “Paradise”
- Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe’s “Reiko” / Earth Wind & Fire’s “Let’s Groove”
- [Patlabor] Hiroko Kasahara’s “Interface” / Jigsaw’s “Sky High”
- [Ninja Scroll] Ryohei Yamagishi’s “Somewhere, Faraway, Everyone is Listening...” / DeVorzon & Botkin’s “Nadia’s Theme”
- [Kimagure Orange Road] Masanori Ikeda’s “Kiken an Triangle” / Robbie Nevil’s “C’est la Vie”
- [Kimagure Orange Road] Kanako Wada’s “Kanashii Heart wo Moeteiru” / Pet Shop Boys’ “Domino Dancing”
- Nobuo Uematsu quotes some Christmas tunes in his Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon scores. He also quotes a couple The Ventures tracks on a Chocobo theme in FF7.
- Koichi Sugiyama quotes “It’s a Small World” and “Oh You Beautiful Doll” in the Dragon Quest games.
- Pieces from John Williams’s Imperial March show up in Suikoden II, Super Sentai, and many Gundam series.
- Bits of Tchaikovsky appear in Pokémon RBY Gen 1 themes.
- Lots of melodies in Toei’s World Masterpiece Theater anime series draw inspiration from Disney songs.
- Anime composer Yoko Kanno has too many of these song intro homages to count. For an example, look up “The Real Folk Blues” from Cowboy Bebop and compare it to Bo Kaspers Orkester’s “En Världsomsegling Under Havet”.
Honestly, Koji Kondo is an inspiration when making music so learning that even he did similar things makes me feel better about myself lol

Lots of people sound like they’re complaining, but I’m so thankful for his ‘renditions of covers’ for these legendary games because could you imagine these games without those incredible iconic songs/sounds?! I think it’s awesome and would be a great honor.
T-SQUARE and Cassiopea both are very popular,even some TV stations in Japan, Thailand, Cambodia,etc. used their music pieces for sign-on/off duos and weather music.

Great video. You missed a big one, though. Mort Garson in 1976, “Concerto for a Philodendron” is the source for Zelda’s Lullaby, first appearing in LttP.
That one is more likely coincidence, unless Kondo explicitly stated he listened to that album. Keep in mind is wasn't nearly as popular then as it is now, and it's a very simple melody that pops up in many songs.
BUT I will say the first time I listened to it I did immediately make the connection too LOL
@Dennis "Filthy thief" is going a bit far lol, almost EVERY vgm composer has used elements from other music you silly ape
Wow! thanks! It's even better!
This is awesome! I wonder if he heard Hiroshi Satoh’s 1985 Beatles cover ‘This Boy’. The intro melody sounds eerily similar to Garson’s tune, which may have in turn inspired Hiroshi and/or Koji Kondo
Even then, it's cool how he shaped the melody to be drastically different, such as it being in 3/4 time instead of 4/4!
Fascinating stuff! I love the Deep Purple comparison. It's a really catchy theme.
How does this only have two likes
"good artists copy, great artists steal" -pablo picasso
"Bad artist mimic, Great artist steal"
Remember, if you steal from enough people, it's no longer considered theft.
I'm not sure, these are substantially different enough that I don't think it could be considered theft. It's only a few notes in most cases, and it's very easy to find comparisons that are sometimes completely coincidental. Now, if you want something bordering on outright theft, check out the original Doom and Doom 2 soundtracks. They are my favorite games of all time, I absolutely love the music, and Bobby Prince is awesome, but there is no denying the blatant use of popular metal of the time.
if you kill enough people, nobody can arrest you for it
@@Phobos_Anomaly I feel ya, but he seemed to take the most important notes - the ones that set the "tone" - and just changed the rest. It reminds me of how Led Zeppelin stole the intro arpeggio for Stairway. Or how Nirvana stole "Come as You Are" from Killing Joke.
i think when artists are so inspired by other particular artists, they are outright open and obvious about their compositions as sort of a tribute, and they are open about the possibility of being caught because they are not trying to take credit, but rather expand on the world of music and creativity.
@@tuamatrem8304 GOODNESS!
I've been thinking about this recently after hearing "Concerto for Philodendron & Pothos" from the album Plantasia. Zelda's lullaby has a pretty clear resemblance to that song. It's cool to see more examples in your video!
Ah yeah, I stumbled across that one whilst researching this video - the similarity is pretty crazy! It didn't really fit in with the whole "genre" thing I was going for though, so I didn't end up including it. Super interesting though!
Hello Blooper bro

Sometimes you hear something and it becomes an earworm and then keeps looping over and you jam on it and forget where it came from
I love this! It's so interesting to learn about Koji Kondo's creative heritage and how it influenced his own work.
"Might hear some influence" = "Yeah I totally stole that"
Kondo picks a few notes to start himself off, then diverge in a completely different direction. It's hard to say if these few successive notes count or not as plagiarism.
The same question arises in writing (comedy or else) when the set-up is eerily similar yet veer into a completely novel punchline/conclusion.

@@DrummerDucky Fairy Fountain doesn't really deviate...

I'm amazed of how many people think anything is composed ex nihilo, without any influence.
When you compose music at first you're kinda frustrated of how much your work looks like other stuff already exists, but then you have to accept that EVERYTHING you compose is gonna sound like something (by influence or by pure randomness) in some way or another. The combinations are finite.

Same! Honestly I thought it was such an obscure, b side from one of their lesser known albums, (Deep Purple III is easily my favourite album even if it's one of the lesser known ones), but I genuinely guffawed when I saw Koji took inspiration for the underworld theme for LoZ. It's crazy how similar it is.
@@ODR96 I know! I am one of those sad cretins that just go wild when I see any of my favourite songs get referenced, so when I saw something as seemingly obscure as April being the centerpiece of a video, I was incredibly surprised and happy.

@@b0wlt546 Yes, but it was Koji Kondo who wrote the music
not Marii
Back in the 60s there were all these cool psychedelic rock bands. One was The bEatles and another was called The Byrds. They never STOLE stuff from each other but they took ideas from each other to create new songs. Everyone was borrowing riffs and ideas and no one was mad because that’s what music is. Other than Friendship (which wow it’s EXACTLY the same😳) everything else is a clear inspiration but it’s not like Koji Kondo didn’t create anything. The Mario theme is iconic and other than those first few notes (which once again, almost the same song) the rest of the Mario theme is totally original. Don’t forget things like the Zelda over world theme and the Princess Peach castle theme. Koji Kondo is a genius. But this is still eye opening for someone who’s never seen this or heard these tracks before.

@@joscott9978 You have to listen to the intro of "Wing cap theme" and listen to Summer breeze intro. They have the same melody.

Yeah, I agree that it more closely resembles the Super Mario 64 Winged Cap theme (which is itself a rearrangement of the SMB1 Power Star Theme).
"Slight" resemblance? That is the understatement of the *_century!_*
Fabian L well here we are talking. Composition, instrumentation. Harmonica etc. So yes.
@Fabian L no
@@PSXuploads just "no"? explain?
Fabian L still it’s just that all those combinations are not like a still photo. They follow sequences. We we directly. (I mean directly ) can identify by hearing 2-3 seconds. If then that is followed by additional similarities we recognize the song. And at the same time find all the similar songs we heard. Which is actually what this movie is showing.
What we are saying is when that happen for a composer he get inspired. And as the composer is aware of all this it’s very important that it avoid those sequences to be laid out in similar pattern.
Still this happens all the times. Why? Well as said because the composer is inspired by something and that often leads to conscious or subconscious “copying” songs.
So the statement that “inspiration is an understatement” here is “yes” it is an understatement the composer here was most likely quite aware that the reused parts and tones of material he liked when creating those songs.
And that is not ripping him apart. Actually I find your interpretation of the original post statement a bit strong. It did not bash the composer. Did not downgrade his effort. It’s simple stated that those songs are more than inspired by other music.
Which they are.
Fabian L sorry you did not win. Neither did you loose. You just stated YOUR opinion here like everyone else.
What you did I fear (at least for me) with the “I win” statement come if as quite immature “I need to win this argument because I am right” person. I hope you are not that and we just misunderstand your good intentions to defend the composer.
This is interesting to hear he was a hard rock fan because I always wondered if the beginning of the 1979 Led Zeppelin song "I'm Gonna Crawl" inspired Zelda music. Now I think it may be more likely than I thought
and Led Zeppelin took from a bunch of blues artists
Sad... But Jimmy Page had an incredible talent of being able to play and sound like any blues guitarist you could name. Hardly ever writing his own work because he wasn't a writer... He was a session guitarist who regularly played famous blues songs at local pubs. Robert Plant was deeply into blues, jazz, folk... Quite a few British guys back then for some odd reason thought it was so cool (almost like hipsters) to listen to this African American music from Southern US and Chicago... No one really understood WHY besides artists like Elvis liked that stuff and the outgoing, young, vibrant males who wanted something entirely different than what they were surrounded by became infatuated with this odd, deep, sad music they felt was genuine and more honest than the status quo of their time. Eventually the UK started creating huge bands that didn't get nearly as much love as they got from overseas... The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin... So these guys that rewrote how rock n roll was played all used influences from alien origins... At least alien to their home country. Outside the UK was an entirely different story. It's actually what makes them good... Because they plagiarise. The guys who truly create original stuff aren't looked at as gifted or talented. They are simply treated as "different".
Marc Bolan of T Rex actually had an incredibly original sound with his hippy/folk/sci fi fantasy infused concept called Tyrannosaurus rex, however, he never got the radio play or success until he started playing blues infused macho cock rock that filled 70s era radio airwaves of the time. Leading him into a depression fueled alcoholic and drug riddled lifestyle that resulted in his fatal car accident. :/

This is no joke. I've wrote and composed music that I later found out was something I use to listen to decades ago. Some of my work was way too similar and I had to recompose. Music is nothing like any other artwork. It's somehow more familiar than imagines. It sticks with you. It's more imprinted into memory. A song or a music track that you heard at five years old, forget about, will come back in your 40's out of no where.
I hope this video doesn't get taken down.
honestly, as an aspiring music composer, this video helps me realize something. i’ll often find that the music i try to make sounds similar to other songs, but, especially since i’m just starting out, if i differentiate the music enough, it’s okay if they sound similar. just don’t copy them directly, obviously ^^’

Hirokazu Tanaka, the composer for Dr. Mario was also a fan of ELP it seems. He quoted a measure or two directly from ELP's 'Karn Evil 9 - 2nd Impression' in one of the three tracks in the game.
