A terrible thing happened when renowned musical composer, Mamoru Samuragochi. Admitted to committing fraud recently. Mamoru Samuragochi was known for being a modern "Japanese Beethoven," known for his work in the Resident Evil games as well as having sold several best selling albums in japan. In 2001 the Times magazine was quoted as saying, that Samuragochi was a "digital age Beethoven" and that his deafness was a gift from god. The world was praising his work all at once. Untill he admitted to committing fraud recently.
So what did the renowned composer do exactly that he admitted to as fraud? He never wrote any of the music that made him famous. That credit goes towards Takashi Niigaki, who was paid to create music for Samuragochi for a measly sum of $69,000 was for around 17 years of work. Nigaki says that the composer might not even be deaf, although it probably isn't true.
Samuragochi since his fraud, has lost his record label, which have stopped selling his products. The city of Hiroshima has retracted the citizens award that was given to Samuragochi. Its a sad thing, really. No one knows yet as to why he decided to make this revelation. Perhaps his conscience wouldn't let him stand it any longer.
