Pitch-Lowered Fake of PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK Theme Song Appears on YouTube Music
The upload has a lowered pitch, which sources suggest is an attempt to slip past YouTube's automatic content detection and collect revenue, and YouTube Music links both pages to the same artist profile, so the fake is hard for listeners to spot.

Composer Aiobahn +81 warned on X on October 4, 2026 that a third party registered an unauthorized version of "DEMON'S SHOT," the theme song for the drinking survival game PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK, on YouTube Music. He asked listeners to avoid playing the song on the app for a while. The upload is a pitch-lowered edit running about 4 minutes 5 seconds, roughly 10 seconds shorter than the official track, which is 4 minutes 15 seconds and was posted September 29, 2026 with DEMONDICE in the credits. The official page is registered by Avex Live Creative, while the fake carries a DistroKid distribution label. The official MV, released September 30, 2026, passed 4 million views within five days and reached 7th on the YouTube Music Japan Trending chart. PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK is set for a Steam release in fall or winter 2026 and has passed 500,000 wishlist registrations as of October.
The song had been drawing attention since the trailer released in April 2026, and the full version arrived on September 30 as both an MV and a digital release through avex. Aiobahn +81 has said the track was "polished for half a year." Two third-party pages are now registered alongside the official Avex Live Creative page, and the fake carries a DistroKid distribution label while the genuine upload reads "Provided to YouTube by avex trax."
In his own words on X, Aiobahn +81 said the discovery was painful: "Every single time, whenever a song of mine gets just a little attention, I'm forced to deal with this kind of thing, and it's nothing but painful."
PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK has Fam Sour, a yandere demon girl, facing the player in a Russian roulette drinking match. The game is also set to appear in the surprise edition of the indie game program Triple-i Initiative Showcase, streaming from 1:00 AM on October 9.
