Japanese composers ripped off Western music a ton back in the day
My boy Yuzo Koshiro was "inspired" by quite a few songs for those Streets of Rage OSTs filled with bangers
Usually it was just part of the song though and like not the whole thing so it wasn't as totally obvious as that Dragon Ball shyt which was flat stealing with Dragon Ball Z Kai with very little effort to make it sound different
Also different composer but the the beginning of Ken's theme from Street Fighter II is an extremely clear rip off of Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick from the Top Gun OST
Bruh This never hit me until this was just played wow. It's crazy and makes sense why I like so many of these songs and love so much of streets of rage. Idk how i didn't recognize. My mind i s actually blown.
