Hi,

There is a Shenmue Piano Collection album running in progress, in case someone want to preorder the album, there are some rewards in the campaign, the physical CD with bonus track and with piano score book given as a reward only.


Thank you.

Sorry, but is there any sort of proof you have guys have the relevant permissions from Sega, and the artists to release this?

I don't mean to sound like a douche, but you are asking for money, and as much as I'd love to back this as well as have the Dojo promote it, we would need to be sure that people are not throwing their money away and that everything is above board in terms with the law.

Hi,

The album is licensed, and everything is legal, it's already stated in the legal disclaimer section in the campaign.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards.

That's great!

When did the campaign start?
Have you plans to promote it?

The 40$ tier includes a piano score book, is it correct?

I wish you every success in your efforts!

With the greatest of respect, is there any further assurance you can provide on this matter? Because that page was written by yourself, of course, and when a fan site throws its weight behind promoting some products and not others, it wants to be able to defend its choices with tangible reasons to trust in the product's legitimacy.

I already posted this on Shenmue topic, but I'm reposting in this community area :)

We're running campaign to produce Piano Collection from shenmue soundtrack, please consider donating , thank you :).

Im really SICK and tired of people who try to profit from the Shenmue Licence, and not just try to profit, but try to pass off half-assed work as their own and exploiting the dumb shenmue fans who will pay good money for anything with the logo on.

This 'Demo'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivvMq4eyGTA

Is CLEARLY run through Midi Software and has not been played by a Pianist or someone who is a tallented playing an actual piano. And its not even a good Midi sound there are TONS of really good sounding Piano Software

The ORIGINAL soundtracks can be downloaded and there is a VAST library of Shenmue Midi's

I think I speak for at least 5 people here when I say

FUCK OFF !

Hi,

Before judging, at least ASK first.

We have already stated that the DEMO is not recorded, and is not the expected sound, hence the word "DEMO", so why are you angry about it ?!

I'm sorry to tell you that if we wanted to profit from it, we could have asked for 20K and more...,and I don't think you are expert in piano to judge those kind of work, so if you don't agree about this, don't mislead people !
(the midi library you're talking about is poorly arranged, clearly made by amateur)

Well yes, i do have questions, the ones i originally asked. Do you have some sort of proof to demonstrate to us that you have the permissions from all parties to do this? An email, a declaration of right? As Lets get Sweaty said, you have typed the IGG page yourself so thats not going to give me confidence to promote this. There is no example of any piano playing, an audio recording, or a video recording. You are a new member only just joined and are asking people for money, so we need to know. This site has associations with YSNET and Sega so if you cannot provide us with anything substantial, then these topics will be removed.

You might want to actually verify that LOUDR can even get the rights to the music you want to produce.

They do point out in their FAQ that although they can get rights for the majority of music, but there could be some exceptions. I know in the past Shenmue has caused difficulties for some reason. When The OneUps produced the album "The Very Best of Sega" they had to cut their Shenmue track "Wave Sound in the Morning Haze" from the Album because they were unable to get the rights to Shenmue music. Everything else on the Album, (Skies of Arcadia, Sonic R, etc.) they were able to license.

Though LOUDR (Soundrop Distribution) is legit for cover artists to sell their work, I couldn't find your name or anything Shenmue related name under their database. How do I search the license you have paid for? BTW why the name "piano dojo"?

And the one and only current backer of the project is from someone called, "Peter". Should clarify that it's certainly not me.

Hi,

I'm answering here some previous questions that was deleted in a previous post.

I'm attaching a screenshot from my LOUDR account as a proof of your request, since you were worrying about that.


@sand4fish, you can't do a search on people license, you have to ask them directly for that.
piano dojo is the project name.

For the demo, as I stated in a previous post, it's still a demo and it's sounds mechanical with is normal, it's not yet recorded.

If you have further questions, let me know.

No posts have been deleted. The original topic was merged into this one within the community projects forum.

Thank you for the email screenshot. So i can see you have an application in for the rights to cover Shenhua - Sedge Flower. Is that the only licence you have applied for so far?
