Just a clarification.
- I know what inspiration is. I know that ZUN is inspired by other works. I'm saying that I couldn't hear any similarities, and I only got it after you revealed it as Necrofantasia. Even though now I hear it, it isn't long or, as a whole piece of music, similar enough for me to believe it was a factor. As Boke said, the phrases in which the small segments are found have nothing in common with Necrofantasia except the key.
- I would rather not this become a big deal, but it seems to have become one anyways.
- I'm not saying that you're saying that he ripped it off. I said that usually when people find these kinds of things they take it as "lol zun stole it". You didn't, good for you. And usually when people find these kinds of things, it's more than just a few seconds worth.
- I can understand you feeling pressured by our responses but at least, I mean no harm or whatever. Sorry if you feel like you're being pushed around.
But really, what has really been bugging me, and why I'm not too enthused about this thread. I COMPOSE MUSIC. I've been playing piano for a good ten-eleven years. The way you're going "well yeah but I compose so obviously I have a better ear for this stuff" is really, really egotistical and I get a huge wave of self-righteousness from your statements. Instead of listening to everyone who says they can't hear it you're going "lalala I hear it you just all can't because I am superior, you're all being rude because you aren't agreeing with me i'm disappointed in you all". I'm sorry if this isn't your intention but this is how I see it. And for the record, I don't hate you.
