I guess you can make that 6, Yoko Kanno is incredible and all but some of her Ghost in the Shell work is blatant rip off from Bjork.

I already told you about "Words that We Couldn't Say" - that's wholesale plagarism. So is the opening theme to "Escaflowne" that is "wholesale" take on Adiemus's self-titled track.


Are you sure when you're talking about Adiemus' song you aren't referring to Record of Lodoss War's OP? Kiseki no umi (奇跡の海)
by Maaya Sakamoto? I always thought it was more a rip off.

For the record, I have a fairly good tonal ear, and I once sat through some twenty to thirty minutes' worth of YouTube videos holding Kanno's supposed "rip-offs" against the "originals." Out of the thirty or so songs mentioned, I found one, maybe two, that one could maybe make a possible case for...the rest were just flat-out laughable. Until someone comes up with far more concrete proof than that, I see no reason to take such claims seriously.
