I know this news was old and so long ago...
that time i was in University of idiots and bastards..
ok skip that.. somehow it never pop up in my mind about it.. i didnt even know this story happen..
all i know was.. maybe Konami wanted a change like what they did to Enthusia but pity Enthusia for being a flop !!!
Somehow everybody loves the Metal Gear Solid main theme.. until my country uses the song for it's military events !!!
click this link of the copyrighted video to see the Russians informing about the song
somehow in that video you can see Mr. Hideo Kojima was shocked about it !!!
pity him, he didnt even know it was copyrighted...
lets talk a bit of the history of the Metal Gear Solid theme.. it was written by Tappy Iwase and later was enhance and remixed by Harry Gregson Williams. Soon later someone found out the song was ripped-off from a Russian orchestra. Later some Russian met Hideo Kojima and inform him and in the end.. the song was removed !!
some said it was a coincidence.. maybe but i suspected like this.. maybe Tappy was in Russia n fall in love with the song Snow Storm.. so he made a remake of it??
or a fren of his from Russia Japan came n said take this music.. bcoz it is not famous n make it as ur song.. so who knows ??
there is a million of possibilities.. so up to u to think ?
The famous tune from Metal Gear Solid 1

The original 1975 Russian song by Georgy Sviridov

anyway if the Russians were a bit understanding, i hope that they could get some payment or royalty from Konami for this video game and gave permission to use the original song as a grand finale song for MGS4 !! Trust me !!! it will be a BLAST !!
