For nylig kunne vi, og en række andre medier, rapportere, at det nye Eminem-album Kamikaze indeholder en sang, hvor selve beatet benytter en del af en melodi fra Kingdom Hearts. Eminem sagde selv:
"That's me doing my video game thing. Kingdom Hearts. It's a Japanese videogame, and that's the theme song from it. It's one of the dopest melodies I've ever heard. Shout out Japanese videogames and Japanimation for inspiration. Filtered it, did some chops, did some processing to it. I basically made it unrecognizable, but I know they would have still found it. That's why we had to deal with the clearance. But when I do anything I try to make it to where it's not fully recognizable."
Nu viser det sig så, at kunsteren selv ikke helt har haft styr på hvad inspirationskilden er, for det viser sig at sangen slet ikke bruger Kingdom Hearts-melodien. En producer har afsløret via Twitter, at det tvært imod er nummeret Glassy Sky fra bandet Tokyo Soul der bliver brugt. Altså har nummeret intet med Square Enix' spilserie at gøre.
"It's actually Glassy Sky from Tokyo Ghoul. I got it confused with another beat I did in which I used Kingdom Hearts theme. You guys got the exclusive hahaha"
