finished rewatching given and watched all the movies and ova and i realised that syh's umihe used a portion of the melody from given's fuyu no hanashi and now i'm thinking: was there any discussion about this? because you can't simply use a melody from a person's song because of copyright issues. if the bands did discuss, this is what i'd imagine the discussion to be like (utc):
given: did you guys deadass just use our melody from fuyu no hanashi
syh (but tbh mainly hiiragi bc shizu is too tired for this): ackshually ☝️🤓 our ex-vocalist wrote the melody first, hence it's technically ours and you guys stole it
...and chaos ensues
