Seriously, if you study music theory, these songs It's a popular chord pattern. used by most music because the musician will know which part of the note After using it, the sound will not be distorted. (I use google translate)

Yeah I know, I just make these videos for fun, nothing srs

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@lemonapric Honestly, I'm with the music theory side. I've seen ridiculous takes on music that are completely wrong before. As for this instance, I've seen people trying to say that a lot of songs are similar because of their...... time signature. Like, wtf. Of course 4/4 is a common time signature. They probably don't even know what a time signature is.

Cat drowning is an arrange, the Cakequake, like the one you compared to Shoutoku Prince in the last video just has a similar arpeggio patern, there's two Touhou fangame songs that obviously sound like Touhou. The rest are better than the last video at least

[@IceWrenSolstice]

I also have a few examples that not alot of people talk about: - History of the Moon and "For the Love of a Princess" from the movie Braveheart - Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye and "Symphony nr 7 Allegretto" by Beethoven (it's the 1st violins about 2 and half minutes into the piece for reference) I also grew up with alot of old Synthersizer music at home, so I personally hear the following: - The Positive and Negative and "Pulstar" (near the end) by Vangelis - Into Backdoor and "Spiral" (the main synth effect) by Vangelis - The Legend of KAGE / Fate of Sixty Years and "Oxygene 2" (the opening) by Jean-Michel Jarre - Phantasm Machine ~ Phantom Factory and "Oxygene 12" (the instrumentation as well) by Jean-Michel Jarre - Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room and "Fifth Rendez-Vous" (when the melodie comes, it's the counter melody in the strings of Patchouli's theme) by Jean-Michel Jarre - Kobito of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess and "Chronologie 2" (in the middle, same fragment as in this video) by Jean-Michel Jarre

[@captaindoesyoutube7925]

Fuzzy Time Mine (also from 3D World) is also similar to Seija’s theme Also, the obvious Undertale ones, Plain Asia/True Hero, Yellow Heart/Koishi, Green Heart/Bad Apple

[@lemonapric]

Mario 3d world seems to love Seija’s theme, I dont blame em ngl 👀

[@kyledoeseverything9209]

You got it mixed up, it should be: Green Heart/Koishi, Yellow Heart/Bad Apple!

[@onebillionsurprisetoys]

mmm, i feel like the yellow soul is a reference to terezis theme from homestuck rather than bad apple. although, considering the fact that toby wrote that as well, any similarities are likely intentional.

[@tabitha17x]

Yellow Soul could also be Doll Judgement too

[@Rasupubegasu]

I’m surprised Septette for the Dead Princess isn’t here. It’s pretty similar to Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata 3rd Movement.

I like how koishi with there Hartmann's yokai girl theme appear like a silhouette forming into reality (hence of people not being Able to see her and thrown off when they do compared to wings that transcend that shows themselves instantly) one is very wild and is a threat but koishi appears as a major threat fading in slowly as the tension rises. Both are very destructive but one is pretty threatening then the other on there motives Edit:also it makes it all the more eerie when you realize koshi is the only one that slowly fades too.The person didn't had to but man they did great on koshi's presence on this fun comparing music similarities!
