PGSM BGM STOLEN off of American TV!

[LunaStar]

I was watching Swordfish last night on CBS(channel 10 in Columbus) and there was some commercials on. Particularly there was a Judging Amy commerical about the Season Finale. Well I was watching it and all of the sudden I hear the BGM from Act 13, when Shin(later Kunzite) is talking about his love in nature & stuff. When I heard that, I went straight to my VCD's(don't have a home PC) to later find out that Judging Amy, the advertisers, took the BGM from PGSM! And dudes, this is like, American TV! We, as PGSM fans, HAVE to do something quick and fast. I only wish that I could've taped it! Tell me what you think. ~~

Sorry, I don't think so. It sounds like generic classical music to me--I can't name the piece but I don't think it's original to PGSM.

 

[Nae]

I doubt it.

 

[Parvus Imperator]

I would have thought that "Judging Amy" came way before PGSM; the creators of said show might have used that music beforehand.

Umm, what you should do is take these steps:
1. Take a deep breath.
2. Take a "chill pill"
3. Get over it, and stop stressing over something so little before your hair turns grey.

3 easy steps to releif. I kick the patches ass!

Well, I heard the BGM From Act 13 (Shin's memories) that you mentioned on Oprah and Access Hollywood. Usually these BGMs are use in Japanese, Chinese, American, Korean, etc. TV shows. If you heard any BGMs from PGSM on any other country's TV stations, it is normal.

Is this when Shin is becoming Kunzite and they play the "Bergakungens sal" by Grieg? (In the Hall of the Mountain King.) I love that one...

Though I guess it's the part before that..

the music is so comon I dount think that it was, the same tempo maybe or something, but I am so used to it I wouldnt say I could pinpoint it or say its steeling. like it was said everyoe shares sound.

it's stock music, anyone in the media industry can get their hands on it.

In the Hall of the Mountain King, huh? You would think that is in public domain by now. If that is the case, the people have the right to use and reuse the piece without financial or social burden.

Incidentally, a version of J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor plays pretty often in the anime whenever something "dramatic" happens. Eudial pretends to play the organ version of it in the anime.

*Snap!* I wish I was in the media industry .

Eh.... ?

I didn't say it wasn't. It was written in the 1860's..

But, I was mistaken, it was Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" that they used from the Kunzite transformation--not Bergakungens sal. That one's also 1860's, I think..

Of course you didn't. I actually was not sure whether it was or not, but I thought that someone would assume it was.

I like Mussorgsky's original version of Night on Bald Mountain more than the more-famous Rimsky-Korsakov version.

For those who don't know: Night on Bald Mountain is the music that plays in the Disney's Fantasia during the section with the demon/devil (Chernabog) on the mountain. The character is not particularly obscure, especially if you ever played Kingdom Hearts before.

*Listens to Isao Tomita's strange version of The Old Castle from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition*
