Line 27: Not to be confused with the "''[[Guitar Hero]]'' effect"—a phrase meaning [[Revival by Commercialization]] <ref>even though the Grand Theft Auto Effect can occur with songs that appear in ''Guitar Hero''.</ref> The same thing can happen when previously-composed music is used in films (live action or animated., including anime).

A [[Real Song Theme Tune]] can fall victim to this effect. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == ~~{{Needs More Examples}}~~ * Happened not once, but ''twice'' with "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9lYzWkz8Zs Rouge No Dengon]".

Then it was used in ''[[Suzume (film)\|Suzume]]'', and everyone immediately went "hey look, it's the ''Kiki's Delivery Service''" song.

Now a bunch of people know it (and its 20 other renditions) as the ending theme of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. {{reflist}}
