/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Sure is same thread as yesterday around here.

Seriously, I dare you faggots to name one original melody in Touhou that isn't stolen from something else. And yes, it is stolen, becuase ZUN always acts like he came up with the song itself in the music notes.

>>4667241
I don't think you know how composing works

>>4667245
I don't think you can hear.

>>4667245
If art worked the same way you seem to think music works, Sonichu would be considered a totally original and valid character. Fuck you aspie.

ITT we are slower than the slowest Slowpoke

Not only the same thread, but the exact same posts...now I know the op is samefagging.

>>4667256
If I'm a slowpoke then why are so many faggots in denial about ZUNs complete lack of compositional skill?

This thread is now about reaction shots deemed appropriate for a troll thread of this nature.

Did you even watch the fucking links? Don't post in my thread until you actually have some clue as to what the adults are talking about, boy.

You seem to be mistaken, in that you think /jp/ works like /b/.

Go back there and reconsider your thoughts.

some of ZUN's music uses small portions of melodies from things nobody cares about?
WHAT A SURPRISE

>>4667333

Technically the whole of Touhou is a rip off since its entire based on eastern and western mythlogy.

Also the word "hack" isn't the correct use since unlike actual hacks, he doesn't claim his creations are "OMG TEH BEST SHET EVAR!!11" and decries anyone who says otherwise.

>>4667346
He could at least admit his "compositions" aren't totally original. Especially when he rips off as much stuff as he does.

>>4667252

It's still a derivative and independent character NURRRRRRR

Doujin game that makes a million references to outside material (Alice > Alice in Wonderland, UN Owen > And Then There Were None, etc)... and the music sounds a lot like other music? YOU DON'T SAY

>>4667346
Oh, and there's also the fact that making money off of artists intellectual property without their permission is illegal.

ITT: retards getting butthurt that a fucking doujin artist is copying stuff.

Nobody even pay for his songs for God's sake. What next? We should sue every amateur artist who make remixes?

>>4667344
Inexperienced amateur!

>>4667350
have you even bothered reading any of the song descriptions?

>>4667361
Have you? Name one where he mentions taking the melody from another song.

>>4667350
All music rips off other music in huge ways. There, you now know the secret of music, try to not be too shocked.

>OP

And the guy who made the music for Doom stole from a bunch of industrial metal songs. Doesn't make it any less awesome.

All Touhou music is is a bunch of shitty pop songs from the 80s. How does that feel?

>>4667355

You don't understand copyright law in japan, lol.

Doujin work are totally allowed to make money off intellectual property with no permission.

Touhou songs slapped my mother and had sex with my girlfriend.

You guys probably think Avril Lavinge is a music genius too. Are you a bunch of teenage girls or something? Dumb sluts.

>>4667363
UN Owen Was Her

>>4667393
You can do it! You're already to the unfounded accusation stage! Go, troll, go!

>>4667366
Let me tell you the secret of society:

Everyone rips off everyone.

Everything you have ever used, seen, listened to, touched, or otherwise experienced is built off of previous generations' work.

There is nothing called "originality," only a new conglomeration that seems original and breathes new life into older concepts.

We are all standing on the shoulders of our forefathers. We are all just a little bit richer and more knowledgeable because of the endeavors of our ancestors.

If you make something, you are using the knowledge of years past to do so, even if you don't know it. Even if you take apart a car and learn how to make it, you have the person who originally made that car to thank for you knowing how to make it.

Stop being obsessive about it.

>>4667406

Tell me the secret of Sion.

>>4667406
Obviously if I make a book that's just someone else's book with the names changed, I should get full credit, right? You people are so fucking delusional.

No, but you could legally sell it at Comiket.

And if all the names are now touhous, Reitaisai.

>>4667417
people HAVE done that before though

I think ZUN is a pretty cool guy, eh improves final fantasy and lufia muzak and doesn't afraid of anything

>>4667417
No, I don't expect you to understand, because you are an obvious troll.

I thought that was obvious, in and of itself.

>>4667417
Obviously if someone made a movie that's just the plot and purpose of Fern Gully and Dances With Wolves but in space and with different visuals, they wouldn't be allowed to make insane amounts of money off of it, right?

>>4667433
I'm going to improve Romeo and Juliet by calling it Ronald and Julie. I'm a fucking genius.

>>4667434
I'm not a troll, you are just a delusional blind fanboy moron cunt.

Step 1: Pick a melody/chord progression you like.
Step 2: Arrange it with instruments to your liking.
Step 3: Develop the melody with variations and other musical techniques.

Congratulations, you now know how composers have learned to write music since the beginning of time. (before they had other composers to rip off, they stole birdsongs and other sounds from nature)

>>4667445
lol you're incredibly stupid aren't you

>>4667442

Maybe you can think up better names for other characters, too.

I mean, what the fuck kind of name is "Mercutio"?

No offense to the guy, Mercutio is the best damn character in Romeo & Juliet, but that's an incredibly strange name.

The new method of trolling now is just retarded.
1) Make a stupid statement
2) Samefag your thread until people decide "oh well, I'll respond"
3) Link every post not made by you to a "u mad?" image
4) If anyone denies that they are mad, insist that they are
5) Lather rinse repeat

On every fucking board. The new generation of ADD-riddled children sure is boring and uncreative.

>>4667445
Don't be mean to Sion-chan!

I don't really care if it's copied. I still enjoy his songs.

Composing = taking other music and deriving from it.

Music isn't like art. You can splatter paint on a canvas and someone will like it because you can attach meaning to it. They'd treat it as some inane riddle.
You make a cacophony and nobody will appreciate it. There's no meaning to nonsense. Harmony and beat is what's appreciated in music, from death metal to classical.
Since not everyone can generate harmony from the ether, they take harmonious melodies and derive from them in their own works.

>>4667518
I don't have a child to masturbate, sorry anonymous.

>>4667505
What's there to debate? music sounds like other music. That is an inescapable truth. All media is like this. That's why we can classify plots and characters and styles and themes and so forth and so forth. Inspiration means "based on something else I liked."

>>4667532
> Music isn't like art
> music isn't art
OP here, don't know if serious.

>>4667455
Mind if I quote you on that?

>>4667541
Based on = directly copied and then said ORIGINAL CONTENT DO NOT STEAL. Faggot

>>4667527
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Okay, "art" is vague. I should've said painting.

This might not be as uncommon as you might think.
This is also true for many major titles.

>>4667546
You seem to be the kind of person who is too sensitive to things. Or a person who supports the DMCA to excess. In any case, do you mean to say that knowing where the melodies came from make you like them less?

>>4667588

Insult someone before you request something. It helps get results.

>>4667554

>>4667621
The problem is you're probably unfamiliar with good music.

>>4667633
I think that's your problem and not mine, bro.

So you guys basically admit that pretty much every single melody in a Touhou song is taken from something else, right?

That's fine. I never liked the music of the games anyway.

>>4667652

>So you guys basically admit that pretty much every single melody [...] is taken from something else, right?

Yes.

>>4667652
No, I don't think anyone has said that, so far.

Also, kill yourself. This is just boring, now.

>>4667658
Like I said, you guys need to listen to some,or any, music that isn't Japanese. White people are actually capable of creating original content.

>>4667663

This is what aryans actually believe

You do not feed them.

>>4667663
Oh, you're one of those faggots that thinks /jp/ == Weeaboo.

Now you should really kill yourself.

>>46676655
This is what weeaboos actually believe.

The only one that remotely sounded ripped off was Virus and Septette for the Dead Princess

Everything else is just nit picking, it's like saying HUR HUR THIS ARTIST DREW A POSE LIKE MINE, THEY TOTALLY RIPPED ME OFF ORIGINAL CONTENT DO NOT STEAL

What's the song called at 7:55?

>>4667674
If you think every melody ever is a ripoff something else, you're probably listening to Asian shit. It's a logical conclusion.

>>4667677
Holy Gene Simmons' son, I forgot your name since no one gives a fuck about you.

Most of the time, they're unabashed about it, which I commend them for.

faggots trying to belittle ZUN hahahahaahaha
with all due seriousness, he is a great composer. There are lots of people who made compositions similar to other compositions without having any knowledge of them. I really doubt ZUN is a plagarist. He made the program, he made the characters, he made the stories, and he's been working on it since highschool. Why would he stop at music? I really, really doubt ZUN is a plagerist. It's just too farfetched.

>>4667757

South Park's Scientology episode was at least brazen-balls with that, though.

>>4667765
Watch the videos and enlighten yourself then. If you don't see it after that, you either have no musical ear, or are completely in denial.

>>4667765
> He is a great composer
No taste detected.

The closest thing to original music we still have today would be jazz, in my opinion. While it does tend to gravitate towards certain notes, scales, and rhythms, the basis and origin of the style is on improvisation.
But who cares. Insulting something popular makes you cool and makes trolling easy.
