This is a reference to the pirates of the caribbean because Yoko Kanno loves the series. And its fitting for the situation. Its kinda like how that BGM from EVA sounds like the James Bond theme and how another macross theme sounds like the tie fighter theme.
Dude it does sound like POTC. Fucking jack sparrow in space. However, I think thats kinda of the idea , isnt this song played in scene where the crew goes AWOL and steal the Macross Quarter. The captain even says we are no longer soldiers working for UN Spacy we are now space pirates fighting for themselves.
its true, i love her work, but alot of her stuff is apparently copied from other people (this one's a good example) you can google her name and you'll find a link or 2 talking about this
Doubtlessly, a lot of her work is based on others', particularly John Williams. But really, Williams is such an eminent composer that countless composers base their works on his. Of course, Kanno Yoko based her pieces on other songs. But rather than criticizing her for that, we should commend her for the original work she's done. She incorporates elements of songs when necessary, but the piece in its entirety is her own creation. Composing an orchestral piece is a complex process.
Wow... Someone on the internet that doesn't go into an incoherent flame... Ok, I accept that, I do respect Ms. Kanno, and by eminent, you mean prominent. But, what I don't understand is why, apparently (You're the first to have a problem with my comments thus far) you had to go and downvote my comment saying "Pilots of the Carribean." It was just a pun... Only intended to be funny. And it is plagiarism if you don't state that the song was inspired by, especially if it's almost identical to cont.
Of course, I like to think that logic and reason will even have a place on the internet.
As for that downvote, it was entirely a screw-up on my part. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Apologies. I've fixed that now.
And, finally, I think we could drag this debate regarding Kanno on for ages without getting anywhere. We might as well accept that our opinions differ, as I doubt that either of us will change our views on it.
I respect your opinion, my good... Sir/Madam. In my opinion, this is strangely similar to a pre-existing song, and music from Yoko Kanno has that tendency. But, that said, It's hard to tell between half of John Williams' music, some of which is audible in certain pieces composed by Ms. Kanno. That is my opinion, you have yours, and as an American, I respect that.

...continued: the song that was the inspiration. That's plagiarism.
