Not hating on manga/anime fans at all but it's equivalent to saying: "I have an unhealthy obsession over video games" instead of "I'm a video games fan".

I tend to listen to a lot of japanese songs, Openings and endings of anime. and I always shazam/SH(SoundHound) them to download it later. you are correct. Shazam recognises a LOT of music. and as for the guy's issues. It makes sense. if the songs are not even in charts, or in local bands, it'll make sense not to recognise songs.

Ive never had any issue recognising virtually any music, including foreign and remixes, its the most accurate free recognition i have used, i would say 8/10 times its sucessful, and I listen to a LOT of foreign music, as I travel extensively, maybe if your music is so unique that it doesnt make any charts or by local bands maybe that makes sense

does not matter to me as i use shazam to identify music only and so far now it is bad at recognizing music that i like especially those not of English language (dislike eng music) so if the take over will make recognizing music better then i'm fine, if not it also does not affect me.

It works really well for mainstream and even for small bands/creators, but not for different languages and maybe even remixes - while on the other hand Shazam was 7/10 able to even recognise remixes which is very impressive.
