A deaf Japanese composer who wasn't deaf

A really interesting article that includes some mention of video games and duplicity.

Good way to kill 10 minutes.

Nice article. Funny how the music somewhat lost it's value, when the 'composer' was exposed as a fraud. Or was the music that valuable at the first place?

This made me think this scene.

god, that video of him pretending to be in awful pain and crawling around on his floor and then writing an entire symphony in one night is hilariously embarrassing

wait, these guys did the soundtrack to the resident evil dual shock version?

i refuse to believe an actual composer had anything at all to do with this

^ Hah, that's classic.

Great article!

All youtube vids are blocked at work, can't wait to get home and see the floor writhing.

Good read, thanks for posting.

Interesting read. I've known a few guys that were ghost writers for more famous "producers" and it's always hard to stomach that this stuff actually happens.

Mr. Momomoto, famous Japanese who can swallow his nose, has been exposed. It was recently revealed that it was Mr. Momomoto's brother who has been doing all this nose swallowing.
