The song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7bIMrNjMk8

Pretty blatant, if you ask me. :/

 

[Mileena]

Wow first 3D Land gets ripped off now Anamanaguchi? This is RIDICULOUS

Happens all the time. Reprehensible, but... you know... corporate.

 

[clo1_2000]

Disney taking other's ideas an making them their own? Never. Next thing you'll tell me is that water is wet.

 

[Bgamer90]

Wow. That is pretty blatant.

 

[Persona7]

Never heard of this person but it does sound similar.

It's wet.

I KNOW! I was kinda shocked too.

I know. It doesn't mean that it still shouldn't be brought to people's attention, however.

What on earth is an Anamanaguchi?

It's an indie band that makes 8 bit chip-music.

Independent chiprock band.

edit: late

 

[RionaaM]

His name rings a bell. Something related to the Bit.Trip games, could it be?

Edit: Yes, St. Google told me the band featured 2 songs on Runner.

What the hell is chip-music?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The source material is terrible. Disney, next time, steal Mario or something.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Pretty shitty... oh, and Anamanaguchi are pretty incredible.

Did you ever play scott pilgrim? They were the ones responsible for that amazing soundtrack <3

It just writes itself.

RionaaM: Scott Pilgrim

Really? I didn't know that. Amazingly, I tried the game for the first time last saturday and thought the music rocked (the game too, 4 player co-op is a blast!), so now I know the reason why. I'm definitely going to check out more songs from them.

 

[Dreweyes]

Wow this is so lame.
Glad I got to see and support Anamanaguchi last time they were in D.C. such a great show!

You guys are on the internet. Use it!

 

[KillerTravis]

Lol what the hell is with the dislikes? These internet protests are getting crazy.

 

[thetrin]

Holy shit, that is blatant. I love Anamanaguchi's music, and it's really sad to see that they got ripped off.

Then again, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose.

What the hell is chip-music?

Are you new to the internet? There's this thing called Google that might be able to help you.

BAD OPINION ALERT

They also did the music for Scott Pilgrim: VS The World.

That's pretty awful. I can honestly say I'm kind of surprised by this.

Will a mashup made by myself and a friend of the Anamanaguchi song in question make people feel better? It's off our incomplete mashup album of Green Day and the aforementioned band, titled Anamanadookie

[Herbspiceguy]

If Disney rips off your music you know you're doing something good.

 

[Akainu]

Is this in a game? Is the only reason it's here because it's 8bits?

 

[Bgamer90]

If Disney rips off your music you know you're doing something good.

You made it big time!

 

[jett]

Don't really care for the ripoff version or the source, but this sux for the original creators if they weren't involved at all with the trailer.

 

[Gattsu25]

The original song isn't terrible.

Anamanaguchi, you say?

 

[Santiako]

Do we know if they actually licensed the song?

I can't quite decide if I like the Basket Case/Sting Operation mash-up. :lol

whoa disney is ripping us off now... we we're probably cheaper than whoever u guys hired.. http://t.co/TLPoICtj

 

[OnPoint]

That was before we found the Rock Band vocal tracks lol

It's a mess in some places for sure

 

[Bgamer90]

1. The song is different (but not different to the point in which you can't tell it's ripped-off)

2. Anamanaguchi is currently sending messages to Disney on Twitter

 

[J.W.Crazy]

That songs also the intro music for Chris Hardwick's Nerdist podcast.

Its nothing new

 

[zero01101]

so i'm no disney connoisseur, nor virtuoso of chiptune, but i can't rightly agree that it's a blatant ripoff. it sounds like anamaguchi-inspired chip, true and audible, and the arpeggio is pretty similar to be sure, but doesn't really sound like the same progression just crammed in a different key, and a bitcrushed 2a03-esque triangle can only sound different a few times :/

i can't claim authority at all here, but i doubt this was anything beyond an uninspired promo music intern. if i've failed to hear anything glaringly obviously stolen, i blame my laptop speakers because reasons.

 

[demidar]

Oh yeah that's definitely an Anamanaguchi song. They have a pretty unique and unmistakable sound. They can sue right?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Can, yes. Should they go up against one of the richest companies on the planet?

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Yeah, that's blatantly Anamanaguchi's song (I hear it every week on the Nerdist Podcast, oh yeah!)

 

[Caelestis]

Didn't Disney used Utada Hikaru's song in one of their ice skating shows with out permission some time ago? Seems like a running thing with them.

 

[Phonomezer]

Did you ever play scott pilgrim? They were the ones responsible for that amazing soundtrack <3

Another Winter <3

 

[CrunchinJelly]

So what is this Tamagotchi guy gonna do? Sue Disney?

 

[OnPoint]

So what is this Tamagotchi guy gonna do? Sue Disney?

C'mon man, it's uncool that you'd downplay it. They're a small band trying to make a living at making music -- they don't need a giant media corporation like Disney ripping their stuff off without credit, regardless of how improbable it is they can retaliate legally.
