I do love me a long hot whang on a Wednesday Afternoon,

Oh what a noble composer he is,someone still full of shit after taking a laxative.

the episode that starred Beck

Where it's at! _I got a washboard stomach and a microphone!_

Great episode

WASHBOARD PLAYERS ROCK!

"Throw your hands in the air" rhymes with "just don't care..."

That should be Samuragoch's autobiography title.

That should be a police headlines

God I miss those shitlords

Now the Zaibatsu is the zombie in the basement 😔

It's the ambience you hear inside one of those tiny clown cars after the whole 12 man squad just ate chipotle.

I'm glad she and Niigaki got to perform that song written for her together, at least. Surprisingly happy ending for everyone overall.

Yeah. Poor Okubo. I feel bad for her

@@Calvin_Coolage Lmao what are you talking about? She was horribly shameful, acted just like the adults she was supposedly "sick of" Niigaki didn't do a goddamn thing for her, he wasn't the one who encouraged her. She blatantly betrayed a man who tried to help her realize her dream because he wasn't "deaf enough" by society's standards She should never forget how awful that was

@@Bocchi-the-Rock_ she was a disabled child who was lied to. she thought he was a successful disabled musician and wanted to be just like him but he was a fraud. he only wrote half of the music he claimed, plagarism was discovered, and he lied about the extent of his hearing loss. it isnt about him not being "deaf enough". it is about the lies.

@@theseokchanist8810 bitch he wrote over 90%, that girl was (understand ably tho) being a drama queen

😂

Funnily enough if I recall that honestly the song is mostly just in the wrong sound font, so if there were different midi instruments used it actually sounds... I dunno if I'd say good, but certainly less... basement theme... than it ended up being

@@RenegadeSparks I remember looking into the converted MIDI data at one point, I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be an ambient-ish track: dark droning strings or synth, with drums or a harp maybe for the 'melody' to make it ominous/mysterious. I'm actually surprised a 'restoration' of it isn't something that many people have attempted... either it's not worth it or enough people just shrug and assume that's just how it's supposed to be, I guess? lol

@@mairujyat talking about Resident Evil DC- Basement Music Fix/Rehash by Agent-RedJackal presumably?

​@@RenegadeSparks Wasn't thinking about that one specifically, but I probably heard it while I was poking at the OST a few years ago. There's a long held low note in the track that lasts much longer than the horn sample itself, and the notes from the horns make me think they're meant for some 'ambient mysterious harp' feel. In general though the Basement theme and the rest of the OST have a lot of room for restoration/'fixing', considering the whole thing is pretty rough. There are a lot of games with great soundtracks on PS1, N64, GBA, and plenty of really not-so-great ones (cough cough Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance...), but it can very much come down to coordination between sound designer and composer, or the competency of the latter in fixing up their samples to play nice within the system. In this case? I think any sound designer was left out of the loop, so a lot of instrument samples don't seem optimised to work well with the music - meanwhile most of the compositions sound like they were done in a DAW like Voyetra or Cubase by someone who probably only used the software for sheet music notation, not MIDI automation and etc. The result is a lack of more refined dynamics/automation on most instruments throughout the RE1 Director's Cut OST. Basically instead of using volume fades, pitch-bend, vibrato and stuff to enhance the sampled instruments, a lot of the OST is very blunt, like they left nearly every note on the absolute default setting. A misclick on top of that could easily lead to a song getting pushed out with the wrong sample banks selected, and with minimal communication? Almost no chance it'd have been noticed. Short version: issues with the composer and his 'assistant' aside, it feels like a fiasco happened - something between "I've never done digital-only music before" and "I don't need to talk to a sound designer."

Some songs on the original are definitely better, but the DualShock version's OST isn't _butchered_ - just this song in particular is especially awful.

that would have killed me safe haven is my fav song

I remember getting this exact version and was too scared to even open the plastic wrapping!! The fear was real mang

The Dual Shock save room theme is actually good. Maybe not better than Safe Haven but still

@@captaincobana4144 It's good in its own right, but it doesn't match the atmosphere of the game like the original does.

Hands down one of the best comments ive read

im dying

yo im still dying, im crying too. great comment dude

Still not over this masterpiece

Was that before he became Lance Riddick cosplaying as a Blade? 😆

LOL This happened to me a few months back when WavyWebSurf made his video on Morshu's voice actor!

You are the chosen one!

Why did you feel stupid? It’s not that deep…

@@MsTinkerbelle87 yet here u are, making it deep

@@saint2600 that isnt making it deep dafty

The synth brass instrument is what makes it sound so bad. I heard the same notes played with different instrumentation, and it's rather eerie and foreboding.

😂😅😂😅😅😂

This is indeed very true. It's honestly kind of tragic. You can find plenty of people that are like that in this very comment section.

Yeah, I thought the whole tone of this video was a little off because of that. The guy still had significant hearing loss so to claim he was faking being deaf is a bit much. Although, It is worth noting that of all the disabled communities the deaf community is kind of absurd. They will attack other deaf people and claim they're not deaf since they got implants. They're straight up brutal about it too and they're not just saying that those people are no longer legally disabled. (which is accurate in the US if their implant can restore hearing well enough for it to no longer impact daily life. However, from what I've read most implants don't work that well) I hate when people give generic suggestions that will "cure" you of your disability. Had one person suggest I need yoga to fix a spine issue that is caused by the vertebra being damaged. They claimed I needed to be more flexible and that surgery isn't needed. Last I checked you want your bones to be solid and not squishy lol

@@zebraloverbridget I actually compared notes with a deaf mate of mine about that. As he can with hearing aids, to an extent hear. As most blind people I know are pretty chill about their stuff. I guess it comes down to the fact that we don't have to learn an entire non-verbal language to fit in. It's mostly just in jokes at sighted people's expense. Like learning that the main function of the white cane is to wack arseholes in the legs that won't get out of your way.

Yeah, ive seen people trying to expose blind people bc they can "see". Legally blind doesnt mean completely blind, some people have some remaining vision but it's so shitty they cant do much with it and glasses wont help, hence the blind label. One described it as being able to tell there was a bright light somewhere, but not knowing how it reflects on objects or being able to make out anything other than the light. Same with deaf people, most have some residual hearing

I feel like it’s similar to depression. Until I was diagnosed with it, I always thought depression was “can’t get out of bed and being sad 24/7” instead of something that you just kinda live with that spikes and declines

You can't *boom* when you can't make babies cause of your mutated radioactive swimmers 😂

Exactly 😂😭

This is so Persona 5 plot.

If only Leon had listened to Chris.

NO THANKS BRO

I've heard it too, but it's only slightly better.

This is just false. Flagrantly.

@@EdgieAlias you can look up the few attempts at reinstrumentalizing this piece on KZfaq and see for yourself

@@Gelatinocyte2 the instruments don't change the notes' relationship, which is necessarily off key.

@@EdgieAlias but that's the thing: there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the composition. It's literally just bad instrumentation. Also, off key is appropriate in certain context; not everything off key is bad (case in point: most thriller music, and idiot themes).

Agreed, I imagine an actual deaf composer would work really hard to figure out how the notes best complement each other (or learn to compensate if they learned before losing their hearing) and become really good at it. The samples in the video sound more like someone trying too hard to convince people he's deaf.

Your name LOL

@@BrandonVout beethoven???!!!

@@BrandonVout there’s this thing called audiation, experienced musicians can get very good at it, it just means that you are able to imagine sounds in your head (pitch, scales, chords, rhythm, etc.) If you can project sound in your head and match it with notes on paper, you don’t need to hear anything.

@@kittavares4334 dont you need to not be deaf initially to develop that though? id assume playing music and hearing the resulting tones plays a major part in developing a skill like that

I have hereditary (congenital) hearing loss and it is actually possible to regain your hearing! My mom was born with severe hearing loss and completely lost the ability to hear when she was pregnant. After her pregnancy she regained her hearing, so instead of being fully deaf she was back to just having severe hearing loss. It's definitely possible

Saaame

Any luck?

good question. without clarification, i would say niigaki, though these waters certainly are quite muddy

Kinda both i think?

I mean, musicians reference/copy/repeat motifs all the time, on purpose or not. I feel like it would've been Niigaki just using a bit too much of his source material, but the blame is pinned on Samuragochi because he claimed HE wrote it. Niigaki likely hasn't "composed" as long as Samuragochi so I think it was mostly him.

@@Miami_Virtual_Arcade I guess if composers get accused of plagiarism in classical music, than they must be completely ripping someone else off to a shameless degree. Though I have to say as far as music plagiarism controversies go, a fake-deaf composer who wrote some of the worst videogame music of all time, stole from Mahler and took credit for his assistant's works and caused a huge scandal is a lot more interesting than "Was Blurred Lines a rip-off of Marvin Gaye?" Don't ever stop, Japan!

Sorry for the late comment but Samuragochi is the one who plagiarized, he doesnt know how to compose music and faked being deaf. Niigaki composed the music.

He's truly the ultimate lifeform.

Last time someone said they were built different they got their brains blown out by a cyborg in the middle of a city

No jar can hold him

Wow you got hearted by Whang

I don't want to be a "🤓" but expanded*

Have Atlus confirmed it? Would be funny if it was true

You said peepee. I like that.

KZfaq still not going after these scam accounts. Guess they're too busy demonetizing random channels.

You need more of the "Mischievous Kitty Cat" track in your life.

Yeah, Black Tiger is easily the worst, but it probably escapes attention since you only hear it in the actual game for like eight seconds.

library of babel?

I prefer the M*A*S*H method...same thing, but with two metal pans.

not really certain deaf people (with the helo of hearing aids) can detect sound around them (but still be unable to tell what those sounds are)

Dont get too close to them though or they could smell you... learned this the hard way

People who are legally deaf sometimes can still hear certain frequencies or loud enough sounds even if they can't, say, detect where a sound is coming from, what the sound is, or ever hear anything like conversations, alarms etc. So no, this is not an effective way to check if someone's deaf. Also, studies have shown that people who are deaf have better peripheral vision than people who are hearing, plus they're more able to feel vibrations, so they're hard to sneak up on, heh. (When I was little, to get my dad's or grandparents attention across the room, we'd stomp on the floor.)

I was literally thinking the whole time that someone just needs to drive up near them and beep their horn, that always makes me jump hahah

Same

I thought that was a pen name or something. Doesn’t feel like a real Japanese name, kind of breaks some soft rules

@@mousefire777 There are tons of weird surnames in Japan. In this case it's like a combination of two surnames Samura佐村+Kouchi河内=Samuragouchi佐村河内

@@DisneyDahling Samura and Kouchi aren't particularly common either, right? So samuragochi is one name made up of two already uncommon names. That's wild

I think it's under-rated, and it's an internet meme that it's terrible. Outside of the basement theme it's quite competent. In addition to the tracks Whang posted, I like the save theme and Rebecca's theme more than the original tracks.

@@harizotoh7 Black Tiger theme sucks though

GOD DAMN IT ughh BOCHI I haven't finished the video

Never mind she didn't

Shut up Zack

@@darksu6947 within this context, expressing excitement in a nonverbal manner. I wouldn't say the use of the word is completely accurate to how everyone uses it, but I've seen the behavior whang was describing, and knew the context within that. take it as just that, anecdotal.

@@setcetc Thanks Homefry.

Lmao the wheel chair guy was innocent tho 😭

The vast majority of deaf people can hear. Whether it's certain frequencies, certain volumes or just a very specific list of noises. They cannot hear to the extent that they can live ordinary lives built for hearing people, but they have some form of hearing. It's likely he wasn't "faking" at all, he simply failed to understand that the public has a very skewed idea of what disability looks like. Every disabled person has to be careful not to appear "too abled". Not only because we learn to adapt (for ex. lipreading or realizing what that mumbled garbage coming out of that person's mouth is based on context clues) but also because many disabilities are not a 24/7, 100% thing. I, for example, can function as an abled person for limited amounts of time. Speaking to me once for a few hours would never allow you to guess that I am completely unable to hold down a job due to my disability. My ex-husband has a form of epilepsy that is triggered by stress - he can do tons of stuff at his own pace as long as it doesn't trigger a stress response (exertion, emotional distress or extended mental engagement.) Often, abled people will see us for an hour behaving normally and use that as evidence to remove our entire support system, claiming we are scamming. And then we end up on the street or burdening loved ones, because we are really only independent in extremely limited doses. A good channel that goes into this kind of stuff is Jessica Kellgren-Fozard's.

That guy was actually partially disabled as in he needed a cane/wheelchair to get around, and he could stand for a short time but when he did it on Livestream people took it out of context.

The streamer in the wheelchair wasn't lying or faking though. The full story came out at some point and there are a couple people who covered it on KZfaq

How many time are we gonna teach you this lesson old man
