The composer who did the Resident Evil and Onimusha soundtracks has found out to be a fraud. Apparently he went deaf and just got someone else to do it.

Technically, that's not "fraud" .... that's just how the music industry rolls.

Huh, ok then. To be honest I don't feel decieved, rather I feel sorry for whoever did those soundtrack who never most likely never got paid or will never get recognition for what he did.

Whyever the person who actually made all the music for 20 years stood by and allowed this to happen. He should of just stole the guys job and took the credit he actually deserved!!

That seriously wasn't in the game was it?

I don't remember that at all.

For some reason, the Director's Cut version of that game seems to feature completely different music. And it's mostly not as good as the original.

Bloop.

You know all those video game companies who make those video games? They don't make them, they just "give them to you peoplez", I created and made them all. And if i'm having a bad day, then I rush the game out and make you all pay 60 bucks for my "Nelson's HA HA!!!"

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!

This isn't that uncommon, y'know.

Anyway, Japanese culture has a different view of fame compared to Westerners. Some Japanese musicians don't go credited or restrict themselves to small venues when they could be playing much larger ones, just because they don't want to be in the public eye.

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

Having a ghost writer do all your work for you and then passing it off as your own is fraudulent, especially as your being paid for that work by said companies. It's also probably why he has had his lawyer make this statement.

Except the ghost writer does this willingly, so no it's really not

It's not the ghost writer he is defrauding it's the companies paying him for "his" work knowing full well it's not his work, and I bet he has signed a lot of documents over them 20 years letting these companies use "his" work.

Are you sure? It certainly sounds like it was composed by someone who was deaf.
