Can someone explain the difference between these two songs?

Number one is a bit obscure, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyCsHwlBqfU from the Anime series "Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou". The other is Cups (song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSbXsFE3l8 I'm sure the first is based on the second one, just wondering what a musicologist would say. Rhythm? Melody?

Apart from the obvious fact that they both contain a certain amount of tapping, they don't really have much in common. The anime one seems to be based on dripping water, rather than tapping cups; the rythmns are not the same; and the melodies of the vocal sections are completely different.

I disagree. I can hear definite connections between these two songs, but to point them out more specifically I'd have to sit down and listen carefully. I'll do that if I get around to it. Basemetal 15:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
