Water Continent Maharl from Bahamut Lagoon and Leftherian Archipelago from Xenoblade 2 begin with almost the same chord progression. What's interesting is that both games take place on land masses/islands floating in the sly/cloudsea, and both Maharl and Leftheria are water-themed (the latter due to its jellyfish-like titans and their many aquatic features).

That specific pattern may be derived from the Hanagasa Ondo, but maybe it was extant before that (this is way outside my area of expertise lmao) Last edited by CHz; May 2, 2018 at 04:03 PM. |

Anime, but Yoko Kanno-related. Her "Ephemera" from Brain Powerd OST 1 seems to borrow a voice sample from Perez Prado's "The Voodoo Suite", much like the Lou Bega worldwide pop hit "Mambo No.5" (which Kanno would later remix for a commercial advert, included in her second CM compilation).

Nakamura's Spring Yard Demo bears an uncanny resemblance to Paula Abdul's Straight Up.

I suppose you could say Heroes from The Legend of Heroes III is "similar" to the Pet Shop Boys' Being Boring.
So similar, in fact, that it, and it alone, was replaced by a new song in a rerelease of the game, replaced by a different new song in the Windows port, and excluded from digital releases of the soundtrack. |

I noticed "Another Warm Body" from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories actually contains the same piano line as "Secure Place" from Resident Evil 2. Well, except for the last note from Secure Place.

A song from Guardian Heroes called Fighters of Pain, at least to me, sounds very similar to Shinobi III's Idaten in parts.

Ys IV - Walking the Path of Legend
The synth line in the background is slightly reminiscent of the Act 1 boss theme in Sonic & Knuckles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC39YadF1AQ&t=1s |

So we've got a trio here...
First is from FFXII, "Abandoning Power": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZPJGDoKYkw Tnen we've got Satorl Marsh (Night) from Xenoblade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA7pFI4pEv0 And finally A Hat in Time - Clocktowers Beneath the Sea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NICSuX25KQY Crazy thing is I feel there's yet another one out there that sounds like that and I can't figure out what. |

Not sure if it's what you were thinking of, but the first thing that came to mind when I listened to those 3 tracks was how similar they were to the opening of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence theme

I randomly stumbled across this when I was listening to random GBA music...
Fire Emblem 6 - In the Name of Bern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iax8RsoQfY Camel - Lunar Sea https://youtu.be/ZIXGijqME-w?t=304 Also unrelated to the above: El Viento - Stage 7 (High Sky) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6BWE827yd0&t=1535s Naoya Matsuoka - Summer Travel https://youtu.be/QfhZsmZw8U4?t=538 Ridge Racer V - Paris https://youtu.be/9_3maLhhAHk?t=108 Soft Machine - Soft Space (the album is called 'Alive and Well - Recorded in Paris') https://youtu.be/ecma6vrB3rI?t=74 3D Out Run - Cruising Line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0hD7V0tMxM Masayoshi Takanaka - Blue Lagoon https://youtu.be/b3hXNicMQHs?t=65 Casiopea - Asayake https://youtu.be/yTZNoFGRCA4?t=187 (at 3:57 in 'Cruising Line') Also this is probably already known but not in this thread...

Killer Instinct - Yo Check This Out!
Tricky Sliders - Let's Get Together Has a very similar vibe imo. |

Greetings,
I'm starting a blog about this topic with some of my very own findings. Hope to see you soon! https://www.destructoid.com/--539945.phtml#post

The following similarities are very well-known, but I haven't seen them posted in this topic, so there they go:
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Credits Michael Jackson - Stranger In Moscow Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Ice Cap Zone Act 1 The Jetzons - Hard Times Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Ending Dreams Come True - Sweet Dream Actually, the chord progressions are identical in all the cases (and even the whole melody in some of them), so we could even say that they are cover/remixes. |

Here is a couple from two different Pokémon games having similar chord progressions:
Pokémon GSC - End Credits + The End Pokémon Pinball - Name Entry I find both of them really outstanding. |

The intro of the ending song to Kaze no Tansakusha: Grand Slam by former Falcom sound staff and the nitro to this song by Zard.

Wonder why noone posted that one before but DQ II's "My Road My Journey" is clearly a hommage to Frank Sinatra's "My Way". Even the name gives it away already

Wow, never noticed that. It's actually pretty obvious now that you mentioned it =D

Didn't noticed those before but:
Iridion 2 - Megalunania (intro part of the track) vs Exchange - Into the night (some parts of the intro) Iridion 2 - Clearing A Stage vs Wave Race 64 - Main Title Not super close eh, but maybe the inspiration. |

I bet Masayoshi Soken's "A Fine Death" (ARR OST) was influenced by Masashi Hamauzu's Dirge of Cerberus trailer theme.
A Fine Death https://youtu.be/nSSPqzuT_rI?list=PL...rz3E5DPlQ&t=87 DoC trailer https://youtu.be/TfQfOxq9fK8?t=92 The specific trailer BGM was never released on disc. But the theme appears elsewhere on the DoC OST. Solo fortissimo horn thing, followed by the same chords, both in triple meter.

Here's a similarity I finally figured out after 6 years.....
Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness - Risky Mission Lollipop Chainsaw - Phone Call 4 The chord progression in the beginning is just uncannily alike. To my ears anyway. |

Very nice topic.
I've noticed one of the sound effects used in Kurtis Blow - AJ Scratch is similar to the ones used in two Night Slashers tracks, but I don't know if it comes from a well known sound effects library : Kurtis Blow - AJ Scratch (the sound effect appears at 0:59, at 1:43 and throughout). Both tracks from Night Slashers where the same sound effect appears : Night Slashers - Azteca Night Slashers - Dead Wind Last edited by Layer; May 1, 2022 at 08:19 AM. |
