I just realized how much Kalafina's new single sounds like "everytime you kissed me." :desksweat:

Everytime I'd listen to it, I'd think: "WHY DOES THIS SOUND SO FAMILIAR?" (especially during the bridge)

And now I finally realized it, and know why the song was so... predictable for me. :blood:

Yeah, I know it's probably old news.
Oh, well.

and to think that everytime you kissed me (as well as PH's melody and 6-7 other tracks of the soundtrack) itself sounds like blessing by FictionJunctin YUUKA...

Haha, yeah, true. I know that quite a few things are um... ~recycled, but Kagayaku is like... so similar, they're practically the same song. I've caught similarities between a lot of songs, but this one really stood out for me.

Or maybe it's just because it's new that I'm overthinking? Idk. :uh..:
 
You guys are talking about the first stanza whose pattern does sound scream "Yuki Kajiura's registered trademark". :XD: However, exactly because it's a common pattern for her, spotting it out in different songs becomes a little pointless. Besides, associations are a rather personal things (if I were to play our favourite comparison game, I'd say Kagayaku sonds closer to Lacrimosa for me). I, however, can agree that the bridge chorus evokes an even stronger feeling of reference to ETYKM. :ayashii: But it's a Kajiurago bridge chorus we're talknig about, meaning another of Yuki's trademarks.
I don't know, though, if I'm the only one to treat "trademark pattern" and "autoplagiarism" as DIFFERENT terms. :uh:
 
Even if they are her trademarks, she has to change their melodies, otherwise people who follow her music, and especially her fans will spot the similarities, and this makes the listening boring, even if they quality is still the same.

eg: I couldnt listen to every time you kissed me more than 10 times because it reminds me SO much of Blessing. >_>
 
I was never so much into FJYuuka so I can enjoy Everytime you kissed me so much. Even Kagayaku sora no shijima ni ha.

Hey, they're not completely the same, what's wrong with that?? :blood:

similarities are a common thing among composers. It's just that the obviousness of these similarities varies from someone who releases an album once in a year/two/three etc. to someone who releases several albums and soundtracks in the course of the year. So it's not fair to accuse Yuki, based on how each newly converted fan gets her discography in a big mp3 heap, listens to a decade of music in a week and says "achtung, this line sounds similar to lalala and this bridge sounds just like rururu to me".
In the course of intensive composing work some melodic patterns are destined to become a habit. Yet few of us mind Yuki releasing more music oftener, and we demand it ALL to be original at the same time. I guess constant great expectations make the mind of any fandom, or else it wouldn't start as a fandom to begin with. :ayashii: :XD:

And I'm deeply in love with Blessing, but I see it, Yorokobi and Everytime as completely different songs. Despite the fact that I'm aware of the similarity in melodic patterns.
But I guess this all remains subjective, so people simply UNBOTHERED by that similarity (like me) have no point in posting in such topics and trolling other peiople's POVs.

but the similarities we spot arent between songs that have distance of 10 years, but 1-2 most of them (with the exception of blessing).

Sure, but I do know she has lots of unreleased music in her work room (I resently prepare a cpm page about it, based on michelle's JASRAC thead, will be ready in a week, along with something else), so if she wanted to repeat a melody she could do it with a unreleased one, so that people dont notice.
 
i dunno but i like it.
i like when a composer had an unique music style. so we can notice that easily.
and my bad ears i can't find the similar of kagayaku and everytime and blessing

She did it with Yami no Uta, and there were displeased comments again. Like I said, fans are usually tough people. :XD:

Well, I do like the song, and the fact that it's Yuki's work is fairly evident. :ohoho:

But I just sang ETYKM to the karaoke of Kagayaku and it fit for the most part.

It obviously doesn't fit EXACTLY, but you can definitely hear how close they are. I had to change the key a bit to make it fit.
Oh, and don't mind my terrible singing. I have a cold. :cry:
 
mi_feng
it still sound different to me :ohoho:
only so a few in the beginning. that's all.
my bad sense of music :uh..:
 
I never hear Everytime you kissed me so I can't say anything about it~~ :cry: :desksweat:
 
I can't listen to that song (everytime you kissed me) because it reminds me so much of recycling from blessing and yorokobi >_< my favorite of the three is yorokobi though XD LIVE VERSION of course!!!!

and since I don't listen to "everytime" i didn't notice the similarities to kagayaku and can safely like kagayaku :XD:

Same, I don't NOT like Yuuka but I listened to Everytime You Kissed Me probably 10x more than either Yorokobi or Blessing. I guess I did notice the little similarities, but to me Yorokobi and Blessing were similar to ETYKM because I heard ETYKM first and more times :XD: (I know chronologically it's the other way around.) To be honest I don't really like Blessing but I absolutely love ETYKM. As for Kagayaku, I listen to it as a stand-alone song and not "a song that's similar to another" so I like it as well :XD:
