Hi
I don't know who I should send this thread to, but here's the thing :
My friend is drawing a manga (it's still a project), and one of the characters that I created for him uses special attacks whose the names are identical to the ones of the video game OutRun's soundtrack.
I know it sounds odd, but I like OutRun music so much that I want my OC to spell 'MAGICAL SOUND SHOWER' or 'SPLASH WAVE' as he attacks. I don't think anyone else did that for a manga before, perhaps besides JoJo's Bizarre Adventure whose 'Stands' got famous albums' names.
We won't directly use the music from that game ; just the names. Is that still copyrighted ? I don't know where to check it.
Thanks a lot in advance for your time and your answer
