I went to listen to The Key we've lost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-8AeGP6CW0

and for my surprise it says:

"Xenoblade Chronicles ..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony Music Labels Inc.

Does Sony owns Xenoblade's OST?

 

[John Kowalski]

That appears to be the case.

 

[Lexad]

Interesting, though one of Sony music subsidiaries must own it

 

[VeryGooster]

XCX PS4 leak

 

[Chariot]

Sony Music Entertainment owns a lot music labels.

 

[Twin Tails]

Maybe Sony published the OST?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Googled to check if Sawano is under a Sony label but doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[onimonkii]

The Xenoblade X Original Soundtrack is a soundtrack album containing musical tracks from Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. The album will be released through Defstar Records and Sony Music Marketing on May 20, 2015.

The soundtrack consists of four CDs and 55 tracks including the Bonus Disc.

 

[stargateheaven]

uhhh.. cos sony own the rights to the CD? i'm not quite sure why this is so confusing.

 

[entremet]

Maybe Sony published the OST?

Yep.

Sony publishes a lot of video game OSTs in Japan.

 

[WickedLaharl]

do you really think sony is just playstation

do you

 

[Nanashrew]

Might have been released under Sony Records. Sony Records is notorious for this stuff on YouTube. Xenoblade Chronicles X OST is also getting taken down left and right too.

EDIT: Oh, I misunderstood part of this. Yes, Xenoblade X's OST is under Sony's label because of Sawano.

 

[Timeaisis]

Sony and Nintendo merger confirmed.

 

[texhnolyze]

do you really think sony is just playstation

do you

I was about to post this.

 

[stargateheaven]

DefStar records is a Japanese record label, a subsidiary of Sony Music Japan.

 

[Khrno]

do you really think sony is just playstation

do you

I know right?

Sony is just Walkman.

 

[Tenki]

Sony is stealing our game

Spoiler

soundtracks

[mStudios]

do you really think sony is just playstation

No, but woulda be the same if it said instead of Sony something like Virgin. I thought Nintendo was the one publishing the OST.

 

[Pandora012]

Sony does more than video games. Sony Entertainment is publishing it.

 

[massoluk]

Heh, weirder things can happen, like Sony making movie based on Nintendo game

 

[maquiladora]

Druckmann!!!!

 

[Hexa]

EDIT: Oh, I misunderstood part of this. Yes, Xenoblade X's OST is under Sony's label because of Sawano.

If people are just putting up the songs then that's perfectly justifiable. Futile, but not really wrong ethically.

 

[mStudios]

People, I know Sony does more than Video game, you don't have to be so sarcastic. I was wondering if Sony owned the OST or not. Why is it so hard to understand this?

 

[mrlion]

This is a very good conspiracy, OP...maybe Sony is trying to take over Monolith Soft and they want Xenoblade X to be released on the PS2. They are starting with taking over all OSTs released then go from there. This is going to be yet another war between Nintendo and Sony only in an alternate universe where Nintendo won the console war in the N64 days and Sony failed to bring the PlayStation to consumers.

Indeed...this marks the day where the PlayStation 2 will rise and take over Nintendo's monopoly. The alternate universe where the PlayStation 2 has the same specs as the PS4 and its going against the juggernaut that is Nintendo.

 

[Nanashrew]

If people are just putting up the songs then that's perfectly justifiable. Futile, but not really wrong ethically.

I know. Sony is very thorough though. Look up Boom Boom Satellites on YouTube and you'll find pages of only their official channel or Sony Music Network. Though what annoys me is that SMN and the official channel is mostly just live stuff and most studio stuff get cut short purposefully.

Sony does more than video games playa

Did you forget this was Neogaf or...?

 

[staticneuron]

Does Nintendo publish music? Have they ever?

 

[Servbot24]

Didja know iPhones use Samsung parts OP?

 

[Kieli]

Druckmann!!!!

*shakes fist at Druckmann*

 

[LiquidSolid]

Does Nintendo have a history of publishing music? I don't really know why you'd be so confused over this.

 

[RocketRacoon]

Can't be serious

 

[Jomjom]

No NX announcement at E3 because Sony and Nintendo are merging confirmed.

 

[Nanashrew]

No NX announcement at E3 because Sony and Nintendo are merging confirmed.

Will be renamed to NXS.

 

[Pikma]

No NX announcement at E3 because Sony and Nintendo are merging confirmed.

There's no other reasonable explanation

Both Uncharted and Zelda delayed, coincidence? Think again.

 

[desmax]

No NX announcement at E3 because Sony and Nintendo are merging confirmed.

NX is secretly PS4 CONFIRMED

 

[ArtHands]

People, I know Sony does more than Video game, you don't have to be so sarcastic. I was wondering if Sony owned the OST or not. Why is it so hard to understand this?

Its like asking if it is ok to push a door that has a "push" label on it.

[Fantastapotamus]

NX
Xenoblade Chronicles X
What does it mean?

 

[Raonak]

Sony owns a lot of music labels. Not really to suprising.
Do Nintendo or Monolith Soft even publishing music?

 

[Takao]

sony's third party productions team have a long reach

 

[Off-Kilter]

Nintendo is PlayStation, and their next system is actually a PlayStation 1 collaboration with Xbox

N = PS
NX = PSX

NXt E3... we're going back to the future.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Could be a Sawano thing. I have no idea who he is signed to but I know some of his music was reused for this game.

 

[Vena]

I don't think any music is/was reused, he's just under the Sony Music Label.

 

[Mockingbird]

Nintendo is outsourcing the youtube copyright infringement duties to Sony.

 

[Rajang]

Playtendo.

 

[Neo Dark]

Yeah... Sony does a lot of publishing in regards to music even if it's Nintendo's stuff. Even the music in the Japanese Pokemon series is published by Sony as of late. Guess Pokemon on its way to Playstation!

 

[The Xtortionist]

Sony is losing their way; they need some protection.

 

[wbEMX]

Maybe Sawano is under contract at Sony Music. That at least would be quite possible.
