Secondary Work

タイニーリトル・アジアンタム by ShibayanRecords is an arrangement of 今昔幻想郷 ~ Flower Land by Team Shanghai Alice. This work was released on May 26 2013, and is the 9th track of their album TOHO BOSSA NOVA 2 (catalog number: STAL-1301), in full compliance with the licensing terms set forth by Team Shanghai Alice.

This work was first uploaded to YouTube by user Alice Margatroid, on May 30 2013, without permission from either of the authors but with full credit given to them. There were more uploads to YouTube by different users after this.

The secondary work was finally uploaded by ShibayanRecords to YouTube on August 15 2019, more than, and does not bear a license at the time of writing this report. However, ShibayanRecords has stated that they will not take action against any existing remixes or mashups, and requested that their work be credit where they are used.

Tertiary Work

Omae Wa Mou was uploaded to YouTube by Deadman 死人 on September 22 2017, and appears to have been done so without any credit being given to either of the original authors. ShibayanRecords was credited in late August 2019.

The track comprises of 3 parts:

  • Approximately 2 minutes of slightly sped up, otherwise identical audio sampled from タイニーリトル・アジアンタム
  • Approximately 3 seconds of audible voice sampled from 北斗の拳
  • Simple drum beats starting at 0:10 and ending at 1:33

Of these 3 parts, the drum beats appears to have been the sole content that was contributed by Deadman 死人. This content may have been created by combining drum instrument samples or may itself have been sampled from drum loops. The lack of variation in velocity and an absence of swing suggests that it may have been created in a musical editor with minimal effort or that low quality drum loops were sampled.

Deadman 死人 contacted ShibayanRecords sometime in Mid 2019. He does not seem to know the existence of Team Shanghai Alice when the Rolling Stones articles were published, and implies that Team Shanghai Alice, was not contacted. Team Shanghai Alice requires the authors get their permission for sale of derivative content outside of Doujin channels.
