Much like Beethoven, Mamoru Samuragochi managed to become a famous and successful composer despite the fact that hes deaf — but it turns out someone else has been doing the work for him. In a statement released through his lawyer, Samuragochi has admitted that for more than a decade a mystery composer has been writing music released under his name. That includes his most famous piece, The Symphony No.1 Hiroshima, which was completed in 2003 as a tribute to victims of the atomic bombings, as well as the upcoming theme for Japanese figure skater Daisuke Takahashi that will be used for his performance at the Sochi Olympics in Russia.
