This trivia was completly out of my mind since a french youtuber "MrMeeea" help me to remember it.
Thanks to him.

This is the famous theme of MGS by (Tappy Iwase):

This is a music called "Winter Road" from (Georgy Sviridov)This music was written in 1974.

Here is a video with Kojima's reaction

I'm not sure if this was already in one of your "easter eggs hunting" videos.
I noticed this a month ago and submitted it:

"The Metal Gear Solid main theme used in the first MGS, Sons of Liberty, The Twin Snakes and partially in Snake Eater was removed from Portable Ops shortly before its release because of a potential plagiarism.

Someone on the Internet found a song called "The Winter Road" by the Russian composer Georgy Sviridov which strongly resembled the theme composed by TAPPY.

When Hideo Kojima heard it and became aware of the similarities between the two tracks, he decided to not use the theme again in any future titles in order to evade legal issues."

Btw, I had never seen the reaction video before.
