"Live and Learn (Uncut Version) - Sonic Adventure 2" was a high quality rip of the uncut version of "Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2. It was removed through a copyright strike from Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) around December 2018.
Jokes[]
At 0:01, the rip becomes a mashup of the advertised track and "Ambiguous" by GARNiDELiA, the second OP to the anime Kill la Kill. At 2:31, the guitar solo from Crush 40's cover of "Un-Gravitify" from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is added to the mashup. At 3:32, "I Am... All of Me" from Shadow the Hedgehog is faintly added in the background. From 3:42 to 4:14, "Gangnam Style" "eyyy"s are pitch-shifted to "Ambiguous" in the background.
History[]
This rip was removed by SiIvaGunner around December 2018. After the SiIvaGunner Termination, it was revealed that this was one of the rips that Sony Music Entertainment Japan filed a copyright strike against. While the original rip is still unavailable on the channel, a remastered version with some changes, "Live & Learn (Recut Version) - Sonic Adventure 2", has since been uploaded.
Trivia[]
- Triple-Q has already made a mashup of "Live and Learn" and "Ambiguous", "Kill la Kill OST: Final Boss Theme". However, the two mashups are arranged differently, with Triple-Q's mashup primarily focusing on "Ambiguous"' lead vocals and "Live and Learn"'s instrumentals, and this rip primarily focusing on the opposite.
- The rip in general seems to be a homage to Triple-Q, since he is known for making jokes about Kill la Kill being highly similar to Sonic Adventure 2 and using "Gangnam Style" as a source in mashups.
